Hi to all my friends, Like most of us, I downloaded the N2 patch, version 1.00 to 1.02 I did all what they wanted me to do. But when I click on patch.exe in my Nascar2 directory it tells this: Applying MODIFY file Patch for 'Nascar2.exe' error ept0036: Old File not found. However, a file the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match. After the patch terminate. I have minimal installation and the Daytona track(Tally modify). I have all new cars and most of the stuff on the Internet (Mirrors,***pit, Naslap, etc.) Why doesn't it work?? Do I have to reinstall Nascar2 ???

You probably have a hacked version of the nascar2.exe (like the one that gave 97 dates or something). Copy the original version off of the CD (make sure to change it from a read-only file) and then re-apply the patch. You'll also need to do the same for the Atlanta.txt file if you've changed it (40 cars, added the mirror lines, etc.). --

It needs to modifiy some of the track DAT files (I think you'll only see the modifications with Rendition, but it still needs to modify them, even if you don't use that version), which are not installed with minimal install. You'll to do a maximum installation.
You have modified some of your files and that is causing the patch problems. Put your original files back in place and then do patch. After that you can apply your modifications. 7 files in total are changed in the patch. -- Nigel of Lakewood Motorsports Nascar Coruba & Coke Chevy Hamilton New Zealand

Not neccesarily. I experienced some confusion over which version I had and downloaded the wrong one. I experienced the same problem just described, even after copying the data file from the CD twice. When I downloaded the other version of the patch the problem was solved. -- Ed "A friend of mine suggested I try America Online, I said 'But I already have a computer...'"
