Patching F1RS To The Latest, 1.09 Question

I should be getting my copy of F1RS in the mail next week. It's the US version, and I'm just wondering so I'll know ahead of time: to patch it to the latest 1.09 version, do I need to run any previous patches or just this one? (Hopefully just this one!). I'll be running it with a CL 12 meg V2; does this patch fix the purple fonts in the game? -- Scott's Photo Gallery http://www.soltec.net/~goatboy

Each patch patches the whole, it doesn't seem to matter which version you patch. To the best of my knowledge you can patch old version over new versions and visa versa. It was either 1.07 or 1.08 that fixed the purple font. Can't remember which. -- **************************** Michael E.

Yes but 1.09 is THE patch to use! >Each patch patches the whole, it doesn't seem to matter which version >you patch. To the best of my knowledge you can patch old version over >new versions and visa versa. >It was either 1.07 or 1.08 that fixed the purple font. Can't remember >which.

Ok, don't hammer me if this was already asked. Is the US version of F1RS any different fromt the UK version? Thanks.

Hey Marc, just go get yourself a carton of Foster's and put the box on top of the monitor. That should do it :)))

Well I don't drink or smoke. So I gotta spend a little cash just to upgrade this game back to a simulation. Man, the upgrades never end, do they? :) Marc. -------- To replay via e-mail, remove "spam." from the beginning of my e-mail address (Tyring to avoid junk mail)

They are all available at The Unofficial F1RS site. I was fortunate enough to find the UK version here in Los Angeles, but I've already changed most of the track adverts, skylines, cars and sounds anyway. With the new patch, 1.09, this thing is damn close to a finished product. Three cheers to Ubisoft for their continuing support of an already good product. Don
