GPL 1.2.0.2

Hi people, Can anyone point me to somewhere that I can get the patch to upgrade GPL to version 1.2.0.2 I have just re-installed GPL but all the patches I can find only make it up to 1.2.0.1. Also, when I used the original CD I got with the very first boxed version of the sim The installation aborts saying I have an invalid CD. Anybody else come across this? Is it possible that the CD has gone bad after just a few years. I had to resort to opening up the SOLD OUT budget release version but it bugs me that the original doesn;t work. Cheers Peter

Try the all-in-one patch here: http://trackdb.d2g.com/ > Also, when I used the original CD I got with the very first boxed > version of the sim The installation aborts saying I have an invalid > CD.

Sierra's copy protection can't be read by some (IIRC Panasonic) drives. Mine does this too in my DVD but it works fine in my CD-RW drive. Malc.

I wouldgo to Magnus's fantastic databasae site and dowload the easy instal all in one patch. you can get it here http://trackdb.d2g.com/ cheers Glenn On Tue, 11 May 2004 21:32:18 +0000 (UTC), Hoops74 <[email hidden]> wrote:

Thanks for the info, I have already tried the all-in-one patch but my version of GPL still says ver 1.2.0.1. I'll give the CD a bash in another drive. Thanks.

Ah. Never tried it myself I'm afraid ;-) I have the UK 1.2.0.2 CPU patch, I can mail it to you if it's of any use, or have a search on RSC to see if anyone is hosting it somewhere. Malc.

The SOLD OUT version has all teh patches on the disk in a folder named patches..

What is the 1.2.0.2 version supposed to give you? Is that the CPU patch? Mine only says 1.2.0.1 as well, but I don't need the CPU patch.

You do need to go up to 1.2.0.2 (which is indeed the cpu-fixed version I believe) to install the 65 Mod. That's because there were so many different versions (UK, German, US) that it would've been too complicated and bug-prone to patch all these exes. (Note that it patches 'in memory' and creates the patched version as a separate copy called GPLc65.exe.) So the easiest thing by far is to get the GPL all-in-one patch from trackdb.d2g.com and do it all in one go. I did and it didn't give me any problems on my older PII rig. Besides, you gain extra video drivers for opengl and d3d in case you no longer have a Voodoo card. If you want to be extra careful you can just copy your gpl folder and let it patch that. It's worth it though - the 65 Mod is not only a bit more accurate, but also big, fat, great fun. Fun to drive, to hotlap, and to race. And, as a bonus, you get a fine looking and performing BRM you can even get to like :) Regards, Rudy -------------------- GPLRank: -22

Yes, it's the CPU patch. I installed it the other day, even though it isn't necessary on my system, and everything is still working fine. It was hard to find, though, as apparently it vanished when www.papy.com was swicthed to www.vugames.com ... Blackhole Motorsports seems to be the only site with online copies of the patch, as most other sites just point to the original http://www.bhmotorsports.com/GPL/downloads/614 -- __________ ____---____ Marco Antonio Checa Funcke \_________D /-/---_----' Santiago de Surco, Lima, Peru _H__/_/ http://machf.tripod.com '-_____|( remove the "no_me_j." and ".sons.of" parts before replying

I see in a post below that you have the problem fixed. But for anyone else who might be interested in downloading each patch separately, you can find them at the following site: http://herko.ter.horst.free.fr/papy.com/gpl/gpl.index.html

I'm a sucker for the underdog, I guess ;) It's also got the nicest looking cockpit of the 65's, imho. Even the little paint chippings on the edge of the metal dash rims are modeled.. <thumbs up!> If it's any consolation though, apart from the top dog cars like Lotus and Ferrari yesterday I tried the other ones too. I can safely report they're also huge fun to drive - even the Cooper, though slow, was a joy to drive. Even the Honda and that's not something I could state about its 67 counterpart...
