Problem with GPL

Hey guys, Just a quick question (i hope) when i try to run multiplayer mode GPL quits back to the desktop. Everything else works great so i was just wondering if it is a known issue. It is version 1.2.0.2 with just the cpu and d3d patches. Any ideas are much appreciated

It might also be worth checking for read-only files in your gpl folder. None of the files should be read-only. Malc.

I have marked this thread (watch) myself. I wanted to compare GPL to tptcc last night, then after few laps went to Winvroc... I can run offline, but maybe like DJ, for some strange reason, upon launch through Winvroc, CTD at about or before the amount of time it would start to make network conn. dunno, I wonder since the race list thingy that I usually have to Download everytime I bother to try online (about every 4 weeks or so) but since that file this time was ok, maybe there was something that I didn't see that is new to Download? Im on XP, ran fine over a month ago, course XP has been updated since then... (home version) "DJ" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bqple0$25of94$[email hidden]...

Any ideas are much appreciated What kind of multiplayer connection do you have? Cable modem? Winmodem? If you have a winmodem, lose it. It's probebly stressing your system online, and using up all the resources. If you have something else, post your system specs. There's just something that's causing a conflict with the network(video,sound). Someone here will be able to spot the problem given more information.

I don't think it's XP, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to run single player mode. Try disabling the sound card, and see if you can connect. That will at least confirm or deny that the conflict is with the sound card. Other than that, I'll have to punt. Hopefully someone else can throw out a suggestion or two.

You should manually unpack the 1.2 Patch and copy the files of the layout directory from the patch into the layout directory of your GPL installation. Marco

I think you might have it there, the 1.2 patch never wants to install but the game worked so i didnt bother, how do i manually unpack the patch? the patch file i have is gp12_us.exe

Have you got the budget 'sold out' version of GPL? If so, you need to use the patches on the CD.

I have no idea what would happen if you install a different country patch though ;-) Have you tried this? http://trackdb.d2g.com/all-in-one.asp Malc.

The complete patch was there all along on the cd, turns out i do have the budget version i wasnt aware there was a non budget version? Anyways it all run great now, thanks for all your help.

Thanks Stratton I just now read your reply (too busy dling mods for nr03 I guess), and it occurs to me that I battled with this before, oh a few days before, I tried to connect and failed. in fact it was after I had stopped running online one night, & after racing and chatting in an earlier session that week. I was reading some suggestions to the core.ini and lost my good one... Dang it. Any help here, this is what and why I was mucking around in the .ini and downloading other peep's and sample ini's.... for some reason GPL keeps turning on my MS-FF wheels Centering spring, and it feels as though it is at FULL force & Centering, even though it is turned off in the profiles... I wanted and NEEDED to rectify this... So, anyone got a good ini or know where I can go though the steps or DL the fix? I cant remember, and dang it I had a lot of help modifying this one that is now probably lost... "straiton" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1070676663.29507@teuthos...
