I just installed VROC last night(the newest version) and also the fix for new version. Did a fresh GPL install and the 1.2 patch. When I try to connect to VROC all the races that I try to connect to say my version of GPL is incompatible. I KNOW that I have 1.2 installed. Is this a core.ini problem? Any suggestions? Also if I try to just run GPL I get the menu flickering and mouse pointer trails problem . I even tried putting the old glide 2.53 dll in the Gpl directory . Can anyone give me some suggestions. Thanks to those of you who tried to help me at VROC last night. Doug a.k.a. --Alfredo Fettucini. -- "Be vewy,vewy quiet......I'm huntin' wabbits"--- E. Fudd
I had this problem when I first installed WinVroc, and the problem was that I didn't have WinVroc correctly configured to find GPL. I went back and pointed WinVroc to GPL and it worked fine. Vroc/Options... then browse to GPL.exe. Hope that works. -Brook

I had this problem. It was the backup file from the 1.2 install. Copy it to another loacation, then delete it. > I had this problem when I first installed WinVroc, and the problem was that > I didn't have WinVroc correctly configured to find GPL.

This is from memory so might not be exact. As I remember it the 1.2 installer gave the option of creating a backup of gpl files. I said yes and it created a folder in the gpl directory named backup. The folder included the gpl exe 1.0 and I think winvroc sees it and gives you the incorrect version message.
