Advanced options and SCGT

3 posts by 3 people · 29 Apr 1999 - 29 Apr 1999

I heard somewhere that this new "option file" caused a lot of problems to people's pc. Is it true that I can cause damage such as loss of all sound? I tried to install it the other day. The install program tells me that it will install shared files (dll) and those files can cause problems. Is this the case? Philster

No. The sound problems are in the game not the (PC) system and are caused by a file conflict between the GT1 sound patch and the Advanced Options editor. Install the Options editor but not the sound patch and there should be no problems.
I think the major problem is that folks do not read the README file. You see, if you use PKunZip, you need to use the -D option, or if using WinZip you must use the save directory info option. Reason being is that the files in the zip MUST go to certain subdirectories, not just the main SCGT directory. For example, there are WAV files that need to go into the subdirectory of SOUNDS/22HZ. If you just zip the files into the main SCGT directory, you won't get the sounds then.
