Are you messing with my mind young 'un :rotfl:

Stuart Thomson · Apr 16, 2009

No Panteras, nor any De Tomaso's.

Both are banned.

Yes - both.

Fear my wrath.

Why you.... :shakefistingranpastylie:

Stuart Thomson · Apr 16, 2009

The Trendellator is patching the server now - stay tuned, patch-fans

Simon Trendell · Apr 16, 2009

Server is patched guys, hope all goes well!

Stuart Thomson · Apr 16, 2009

Gents, could who's all patched up someone test it please. :good:

Please go to the first post in this thread for the patch links - the patch will be required.

Sam J Simpson · Apr 16, 2009

works fine for me, Eck and Neil T Stuart, Amir seemed to have probs with the same MM Eck got before the server was patched.

BTW Stuart, what is the DS bandwidth setting at?, I only ask because I seem to get laggy performance a lot on our server and virtually none on others I use.

Sam

PS. it is a GDB mismatch, when we went on server pre-patch Eck got the same thing because he's been running 1.11 since day 1, lol, so it's probably because Amir doesn't have, or has wrongly placed, the patch

Stuart Thomson · Apr 16, 2009

That I couldn't say, Sam - I don't have server rights yet, so I'll have to pass that question on.

What is the "MM" you mention that Amir's getting?

Amir Margalit · Apr 16, 2009

after istalling the parch i tried to join the server twice. each time the track was loading and then suddenly the screen froze. i had to restart my pc, joined the server again and same thing happend. any idea how to solve it?

Stuart Thomson · Apr 16, 2009

None, I'm afraid.

Have you double checked you've patched the track correctly?

I only ask as it works for the others as expected, so we know it does work.

Amir Margalit · Apr 16, 2009

ok i finally solved it. i had to enter the track file and manually had to extract it from the game locations file and patch it over the old files. i noticed that steve has the same problem now.

Stuart Thomson · Apr 16, 2009

OK - cool - thanks for the tip Amir :good:

Sam J Simpson · Apr 16, 2009

Amir, and anyone else having problems, make sure you install the patch, either one, to the GTL root folder, also once you have intstalled go to your UserData/Log/Hat folder and delete the hat file (VLM_leMans77.hat)

It's doing 250Km on the strait must be fast enough ,but I don't sink you will do 16 laps without refueling.

Yep done the same Amir. All OK now :good:

oops. Just got into 1st place and completely forgot to pay attention to the track. Thought I was coming into the kink at the start of the long straight but it turned out to be a different corner... Acceleration into a wall isn't a great idea.

Was surprising how close it was getting around there. Very tense...
