N2.. Is there going to be a patch?

Hi All, I've not be online much lately. I'm wondering is there a patch in the works for N2? And if there is, will it provide a save game option. Thanks, Gerald Hetrick

Papy is "CONSIDERING A SAVE GAME OPTION" to put in the "UPCOMING PATCH". Apparently, Papy's scientific studies have indicated that no one uses the save game option, along with it not being realistic.

: Hi All, : I've not be online much lately. I'm wondering is there a patch in the : works for N2? And if there is, will it provide a save game option. There is a patch in the works, but Papyrus is being rather "tight-lipped" about what will or will not be included in the patch. Here are a few things which have been mentioned here in r.a.s.: Based on past posts by Jim Sokoloff of Papyrus. (NOTE: His posts to this newsgroup are "unofficial".) Possible Rendition command line switch to force 4-bit or 8-bit graphics. The Atlanta yellow flag pit bug (which already has a "work around"). Possible "save game" feature. Correct not being able to save and reload saved setups unless a full install is done. This is all I can come up with off the top of my head. -- **************************** Michael E.

Save Game will likely appear in the patch to the program. Could you please site ANY source for the above statement? I didn't think so. ---Jim Sokoloff, Papyrus

Good to hear save game could be re enabled in n2, I don't but seldom have time to race a whole race, but in about 5 settings could finish Atlanta 100 lap race. That may not be realistic, but darn it I like to practice anyway... -- -------Thanks Stinger
