GPL 1.2 patch question.

....same here......, what is the hookup? Maaki "got his green button back" Stiepel

I tried installing the new patch from the Papy site, but got a message that I didn't have a valid copy of GPL installed. Is this because I used the earlier leaked patch? Do I need a clean install of 1.0? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks! Kurt

You need to install of GPL 1.1 before you can install GPL 1.2. In other words, download the GPL 1.1 patch (if you haven't already) and install it over 1.0, and then install 1.2 over 1.1. If you've applied a patch to 1.1, such as the sound patch, you'll need to revert to the original executable from 1.1. Alison On Fri, 5 Nov 1999 08:14:57 -0500, "Kurt Steinbock"

I did a clean install of 1.0, then installed the 1.2 patch with no problems. Intro screen sez I'm running 1.2. Alison? aka Alison "Hotlapper" Hine :))) Rick

Same here as well, did a clean GPL install from CD, then only the 1.2 patch. What's interesting is that there are both a 1.1 readme AND a 1.2 readme in the GPL directory now, but I KNOW that I didn't have 1.1 on this system ever. Trips On Fri, 5 Nov 1999 15:51:32 +0100, "Markus Stiepel"

This applies to the US version. The UK version was only a self-extracting zip file, no install wizard. So UK version owners need not worry about pre-installation version... They still need the CD in the drive, though :-(((( I hate that... ---Asgeir---

I had a different experience. I originally loaded 1.0, upgraded it to 1.1 and, when trying to upgrade to 1.2, got the "not a valid copy of GPL installed message." I reloaded 1.0, then installed 1.2, which worked fine. So, in my case, I could only go from 1.0 to 1.2. FWIW, I did not ever install the leaked 1.2 patch. John

I use Virtual CD-rom. Works great! (you need a big HD, thats all) -- Groetjes Kees

I don't know which version I have, US or UK (I bought the game in Sweden, it's in English - why on earth do they make different US and UK versions?????). Anyway, when I apply the US patch I get the same message. I can install the UK version, but then it asks for the CD to be put in the drive (which it did not before) when I want to play. I have a clean 1.0 version patched to 1.1.0.3. Bwah. -l

The US version doesn't require the CD. I believe trying to start again from the 1.0 exe will help. Ruud van Gaal MarketGraph / MachTech: http://www.marketgraph.nl Art: http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery

Ruud> The US version doesn't require the CD. Then I used to have the US version, or have, rather. Ruud> I believe trying to start again from the 1.0 exe will help. Yes, it did! Re-installed from the CD, and then applied the patch. Have been driving around Monza for the last half hour. The ai has been reset to normal levels though (I'm very bad so used AI tweak to make them a little slower). Back to the track. -l

I don't think you have to go to the trouble of reinstalling - I didn't anyway. Just copy the file gpl.exe from your cdrom to your GPL working directory, then run the patch. Worked fine for me.

Alison, I used a new copy of the gpl.exe 1.0 and the patched worked just fine. JA Willstein

yup, worked for me, too. Thanks, all. Kurt
