I tried the patch also. The latency metering device was nice as well. The connections I had while using the 1.2 patch were very good, now I just wish the official release happens soon. I too made the change to nullify the time limit of the patch, but I have returned to 1.1 only because there are more 1.1 servers than 1.2 servers so far.

With the 1.2 patch, press alt-m during a race. Read the readme file as well :) Andre On Mon, 18 Oct 1999 15:55:22 +1000, "Phillip Archer" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Since Sierra has been so unresponsive to it's GPL customers regarding support of GPL and in the interest of cutting through the confusion, here is my personal recollection of GPL versions. Anyone with corrections or additions please reply. 1.0.0.0.0 The original gpl.exe from the retail CD-ROM. 1.1.0.0.3 The officially released 1.1 patch that added FF support and some other stuff, and created the slomo/sync problems. Not compatible with 1.0.0.0.0. 1.1.0.1.2 The not officially released fix for the 1.1 slomo & sync problem. Compatible with 1.1, not 1.0. 1.1.0.1.4 Same as above as far as I can tell. 1.2.0.0.0 The officially unreleased final fix for 1.1. Not compatible with either 1.1 or 1.0. Thus none of the dedicated servers through VROC are using it. So the version to have for offline, or online racing on the internet through VROC/GSB is 1.1.0.1.4 until Sierra is so kind as to release 1.2.0.0.0, OFFICIALLY...if ever. Marty ZZ Busch wrote:

One to complete most of the turns and one to give it the frustrating spin right at the end. :-) mark jeangerard <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7uh5qi$o72$[email hidden]...
