Sports Car GT:ea vs gtinsider patch

There seem to be two patches available for SCGT. The first in on the ea ftp server at ftp://ftp1.ea.com/pub/ea/patches/sportscargt/scgt_patch.zip. (the www.sportscargt.com site points to the wrong server so the links to this file does not work from the sites page...) The second is available at www.gtinsider.com at [link lost in import] There are several differences between the two including the dates and sizes of many of the files as well as the contents of the readme files. Does anyone have any information about which one is authentic? better? preferred? Thanks, Curt Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

When I did the earlier one, it didn't put a few of the files in the proper directories, and they had to be moved over manually. I wasn't the only one, either. Maybe (hopefully), the "a" version corrects that. Tim

The ea patch does put the files in the proper location because the correct directories are contained in the zip file for each file. The confusing part is that the files in the zip are different....the ea patch even has an extra file. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

If you want to really improve SCGT, try the "Alldash" patch at GT Insider (http://www.gtinsider.com), and add a bunch of the cars and performance patches at Techware Motorsports (http://techware.4mg.com). I finally got around to installing them yesterday and in combination with the EA patch the sim is a lot more enjoyable. > > >Does anyone have any information about which one is authentic? > better? > > >preferred? > > They're supposed to be the same patch.
