GPL Patch

Is the GPL patch going to have better GL siupport? The beta patch is ok, but I prefer to have real-time mirrors :) and the game won't let me restart a race when I am using OpenGL. If I leave a race session and try to come back in, I get a screen that is the same size as the replay window, while the other 2/3 of my screen is black. just wonderin'......

going on the 7th month I believe.

I guess I mistook the talk for "probably going to happen" . :) >going on the 7th month I believe.

There's talk about a v1.1 patch for weeks now, or was I dreaming...? But as Papyrus patch info released early would probably endanger national security, we'll just have to wait until it's released... l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm> |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

It was "just talk". But the talk was from Papyrus's Randy Cassidy as in "this or that will be included in the GPL 1.1 patch". Here on RAS. Back to February 23 or so, 6 *long* weeks ago. :( OTOH, ICR2 took eight months to get patched, and that had a fairly serious bug.

says... Dave Kaemmer also "talked" about it recently. The main point it's supposed to address is online play.

It came out in late September didn't it? Or did it? Cause April will be the 7th month when it is over (going into the 7th month)

I don't know where (or when) you got *your* copy, John, but GPL became available September 30 in the U.S. :) "But in a way, fear is a big part of racing, because if there was nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark
