When the patch comes out, will we have to reinstall GPL? What will we have to do to install the patch? Do I have to back up all my customized files? Will I have to reinstall all of my customized GPL things, like cars,programs,scenery, billboards, all those great things that people have made to customize GPL? Does anybody know? Randy do you know? Could you clue me/us in?

Do a search before you ask stuff. Randy posted the complete list of files to be updated on this forum. You should be able to deduce what you need to redo from that. To be safe I would make sure that you have the original copy of every file that is to be modified before applying the patch. Use the following link to see a reprint of the file list. http://www.grandprix2.com/gpl/11specs2.htm Jeff
No. If you've modified any of the files that I mentioned in a post a few days ago (searching dejanews for "rec.autos.simulators multi.lyt" should find it), you'll need to copy only those specific files off the GPL CD into the proper directory on your hard drive before installing the patch. (At least for the US patch, I don't yet know how the European patches will be packaged). Randy

On Saturday morning my US version of GPL arrived (DM 29 from Wial!). I need no stinkin' European patches... ;^) Until European game distributors realize that they will not win against the warez crowd and at the same time keep pissing off the paying customer by silly protection schemes (buy new CDRom drive, put in CD to play, etc.), they will keep loosing even more customers. 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!

Still a good deal, I say! ;^) l8er ronny -- Your mouse has moved. Windows must be restarted for the change to take effect.
