N2 Patch Problem Solved!

As stated in an earlier message, I planned to re-install the original version of N2. However, I tested the patch one more time, AFTER I re-installed N2. This eliminated the sudden lurches to the right. My theory is that the modified track files are what is causing the problem. All of my .txt files were modified, to reflect the larger fields, as were some of the other files, for AI patches from the net, etc. However, starting fresh, with all the original files, allowed the patch to work its magic. I'm still not convinced until I race at all the tracks, but so far so good. Kirn Cromur

Sp what your saying is, re0install N2 then the ptch then everything should be fine? Cool, I'll have to try that.

yes this is the answer to the problem. REINSTALL N2 FROM THE START, THEN RUN THE PATCH.

Re- installing the n2 can not change a thing cause the patch ONLY works on the ---- original exe and track files. I also saw another post that said if he got the patch from a different site the patch worked better. Yeah right!!! The problem is that whoever wrote the patch screwed up the exe file trying to fix some joystick/wheel response deal. And then did not bother to test it before release. This problem affects different systems in different degrees. but the fact remains it's in the exe file and it was not there before the patch. Iv'e swapped the files back and forth and the problem follows the exe file. Others who have e-mailed me have said the same but do what you want if it makes you feel better.

I'm going to try that one too. I've been trying to race 500 miles at Taladega and I'm not getting very far. I can handle the lurches to the right on the straights, but when it comes to the turns forget it. I know the lurch is coming, but I still end up in the wall. Thanks for the tip. I'm signing off to reinstall N2. Kelvin Kelvin www.nashville.com/~james.hayes/kel.htm

. I am glad this worked for you, but it didn't work here. All I managed to do was loose all my accumulated setup files, Daytona and C***te conversions. But what the heck, I can always re-install them too. Guess I should actually start using that tape drive, huh? :-)
