Problem with 96 carset (GP2)

3 posts by 3 people · 26 Nov 1996 - 27 Nov 1996

I've just got the same problem. I had to restore my F1gamestate and GP2.exe. Thank god I backed both up. I'd have been mad. Just a lesson to back everything up before making changes. Bye

Any ideas why I can't install (or even update) the 96 or 97 carsets in GP2? When GP2 runs it's fine as far as getting to the menus - then the screen goes haywire - colours flash everywhere for about 10seconds, then it crashes. I've establised it's only to do with changing F1GSTATE.SAV. Changing the .EXE file isn't the problem. Yes, I have the full install, and it's English version 1.0b. Anyone else had this problem? I REALLY want to play with 96 cars! (BTW, it happens if I run the batch file to update or update F1GSTATE myself using one of the editors.) -- MarkN Birmingham.
I had the same problem a few nights ago.. although I wasn't installing a carset at the time, I was editing nose cones. Anyway, the solution was to reinstall the game. (btw Im also using UK English 1.0b). As you say, the F1GSTATE.SAV seems to get corrupted. Which carset are you trying? I recommend using Pieter/PKA's. -- James A.
