GPL Spyboy help

OK, owned GPL since it came out but tried my first online race yesterday. I was thrilled not to come last and I want some more. I connected through the VROC website race rooms as I get nothing but a blank screen using Spyboy. I'm assuming that joining races through Spyboy improves performance as there's not so much going on in the background. Running 1.1 of GPL, btw. I'm using Version 1.1.0.13 - 4-27-99 of GSB and the chat area works ok. As far as winsock versions go I'm running Win98 so that shouldn't be an issue (according to the VROC site), but just in case it is: ------- Windows Sockets Version 1.1 Highest 2.2 Maximum Number of Sockets: 32767 Maximum UDP datagram size: 65467 General Information: Microsoft wsock32.dll, ver2.2, 32bit of Apr 28 1998, at 19:33:24. On Win95. Raw sockets with IPPROTO_ICMP protocol are supported, setsockopt() (level=IPPROTO_IP,optname=IP_TTL) is supported. ------- Any idea what gives? Also pointers as to how the hell I tune my DUN (?), modem and core.ini settings would be appreciated - it's a Diamond SupraExpress 56K internal. Rest of system: PIII450 128Mb V3 3000 SB Live Value TIA Cheers Mark Reading, UK

Uninstall your current version of GSB then download http://GPLSpyBoy.cjb.net/GSB2BetaSetup.exe and http://GPLSpyBoy.cjb.net/GSB2BetaPatch.zip Install the above in order and you should be ready to go --- David Goodwin
