Grand Prix Manager patches?

Hi -- I'm sure this has been answered before, but then I never had GPM before.. ;-) I FTPed the GPM patch from Holobyte, but every time I try to update the stupid thing it gives me an error saying, "Can't update <filename>". I've tried installing from different directories, from the GPM root directory... nothing works. I even re-downloaded the file! No dice. Any clues? -- IWCCCARS Project Coordinator http://www.xmission.com/~iwcc/project.htm Hawaii Racer ID: IWCCCARS

The biggest problem which is really quite simple is the fact of which game version you have. I tried to download the US English version but I later figured out that I don't have that version. Check the spelling of tires(tyres) in your game. If it has tyres download the UK English version which should be named enggpm.zip or something like that. I think to update you just unzip the files into your directory. -- Robert Knauber SRA Series Director http://www.erols.com/dknauber/sra/top.html
