Re: Help With GPL On-Line Please.

Hi Chris, You need to make a backup of your GPL folder .. say "gpl.save". Then reinstall GPL to the "gpl" folder. Now copy "gpl.save" files over top of the "gpl" files. You need to do this because of registry entries lost during the reinstall of Windows. I'm going to have the same problem because I re-installed my system, but haven't gotten around to testing GPL yet. Jason. Chris Cavin wrote:

Howdy, Here's my story. I installed a couple of new dashes with body shapes into GPL last week. One or two of them obviously didn't agree with my hardware combo and GPL wouldn't load any tracks. Saved my extra tracks, season files and my driver profile, reinstalled GPL, did the 1.2 patch and the disco fix, then added in the extras and dashes one-by- one to make sure each one wasn't causing me any problems. Got everything hunkey-dorey and then GPL starts crashing out of race and practice sessions. Found out THAT was because of Win98. My computer started crashing from Windows and then stopped booting entirely about 1/2 hour later because of a corrupt registry. So... I formatted my C: drive and, after one format lockup and three Windows install routine crashes, reinstalled Win98 (did I mention that I'm really frustrated with Microsoft right now?). Installed DirectX 7.0a and all Windows recommended critical updates and the newest VooDoo drivers for my V3-3000 card. Reinstalled my DSL software and everything's OK. I've learned from Windows in the past so all my games were installed in a separate partition of my hard drive. I didn't lose my GPL installation or VROC. GPL works just fine off-line and I started up WinVROC and it works fine. Here's the rub: when I join a race from WinVROC, GPL starts, goes through the first start up screens then boots me just as the multiplayer screen should be showing up. I discovered that I needed the core.ini file because I'd not backed it up from my previous GPL re-installation. Turned the core.ini.sample into my core.ini, changed the "alternate ip address lookup" to 1 and gave it another go. Still nothing. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I may be missing? Would reinstalling GPL likely take care of it? -Chris- **Jesus saves sinners and redeems them for valuable cash prizes** Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Hey Chris, Just a guess, make sure it's CORE.INI instead of CORE.INI.INI....

Thanks very much Jason. I hadn't any idea that GPL wrote to the Windows registry. > Hi Chris, > > You need to make a backup of your GPL folder .. say "gpl.save".Then > reinstall GPL to the "gpl" folder.

Just about EVERY program writes to the registry Chris..in lots and lots of little places. You'd be suprised how many times a game can have lines and lines stashed away in the registry. dave henrie "Chris Cavin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:jooD5.11$[email hidden]...
