NASCAR2 50th Anniversary Edition and 3Dfx patch - How ?

Sean Tudor wrote I don't know if this can help you but... Just before installing your 3dfx patch, just rename nascar50.exe to nascar2.exe . It might solve the problem. Oh and I would reinstall all your simulator just in case some files won't be overwritten or so...

I have tried to run the 3Dfx patch on Nascar 2 50th Anniversary Edition but it refuses to update. The 3Dfx patch is looking for NASCAR2.EXE and my version has NASCAR50.EXE. Is there any way to get this patch to work with this version of the game ? ------------------------ Sean Tudor Sydney, Australia ------------------------ This is my cannon, this is my gun One is for bandits, and one is for fun ------------------------ vicious at magna dot com dot au

Just Rename Nascar50.exe to Nascar2.exe. Then install the patch. Rename back to nascar50.exe if you want the bat files that came with Nascar 50th to work. Thats all it takes. Works Great

I know this has probably been posted a million times but could somebody post the URL for the patch? I looked around and can't seem to find it. Thanks!
