GPL, any reason to go to 1.2 (off-line)?

Is there any reason for an off-line racer to change from 1.1 to 1.2 ? I know there should be some real-time/sim-time problems in 1.1, but I have never noticed those. I read the readme, and didn't see any reason for changing there. Arto PS Yes, I am too slow driver and lazy practiser for on-line races... And I am happy that only AI-Clark and other AI-fellows can verify that... ;-)

>PS Yes, I am too slow driver and lazy practiser for on-line races... > And I am happy that only AI-Clark and other AI-fellows can verify > that... ;-) I'm fairly recent to the online racing world (I bought the game the day it came out), but let me tell you that it is fantastic. You are seriously missing out if you don't try it. I didn't think it could get much better than the offline experience, but let me tell you, it's a different world. I never play offline anymore. Seriously, download some decent setups, give an easier track most of your time, and try an on-line race. You'll never look back! And to answer your question, as far I can tell you might as well upgrade. Things should be no worse, but will stand you in better stead should you wish to take the plunge! Cheers, Mark Reading, UK

None whatsoever. I have 1.1.0.3 and that's the way it's staying.

Make a copy of your exe file, and at least try 1.2... it works perfect for me, you can allways go back... and with 1.1 you won't be able to race online anymore, since allmost everyone has 1.2 installed now. The online racing was bad the last months, since the beta release of 1.2. The hotlappers competitions mostly stopped because of the slowmo problems. All those different versions that were available (1.1.03, 1.1.0.14, 1.2) didn't really help. I think it would be a very good thing if everybody would update to 1.2 now, so that we finally all have the same versions again.

I second Andre on this one too! I had no problems at all upgrading (from 1.1.0.14) to 1.2. I have the feeling 1.2 is much more consistent in performance. No problems at all using it. Even GSB works fine for me so far. I personally think that people who are having trouble getting the new beta of GSB to work should clean-up their registry (using regedit or some commercial product): Search for GSB-entries and remove it (after deinstalling GSB the proper way via Add/Remove Programs of course) and then install the new GSB.

I would love to update to 1.2 but when I do my video gets so jerky GPL is unplayable, when I use the 1.1 gpl.exe it is fine again.

Glad to find its not just me - I was playing with 1.2 last night (offline) and noticed extreme jerkiness at times - much worse than anything I ever experienced with 1.1.0.3. However at the time I was running with my PIII at stock 450Mhz - restarting after bumping speed up to 550MHz (SoftFSB is great!) seemed to cure the problems. May be that the new and improved new and improved synch system has problems when available processing power is marginal. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
