Since d/l'ing and installing the patch (from the Codemasters website) yesterday, I've had problems with the game freezing? Anyone know what the problem is, or if theres a fix? I'm in round 13 (Croft) on the "expert" level of a championship and keep getting disconnected if I attempt to change the car set-up (freezes on the gear ratio screen?) and after completing the first sprint race the game freezes again, thus resulting in me being unable to continue the championship!!!! Nothing else has changed on my pc since installing the patch yesterday? And I've never had a problem with the game freezing before this time? BTW, I'm using an abit m/b with 128 mb ram with a 300a celeron (clocked at 450) with an 8mb Matrox g100 and 12Mb V2 card and a SB16 card, also using directx 6.1 8-( Peter G

Check out the forum at www.blitzsports.com/racing/TOCA2 Plenty of discussion about umm, episodes of real world "use" that didn't happen to the beta testers. ;-) There are some suggestions about how to cope.

If you address the problem in the forum be sure you've got yer 'at in yer 'and and be sure an' join in all the beta tester backslappin' wot wit' the jolly good jiggin o' TOCA2 Clive n Fergie and all the blokes down to TOCA2 Players Guide layed on for all us wreches that 'pear so ungratfull like. Be sure and check out the suggestion to drive slower so's to make the AI look better! Patch v1.01 will reportedly remove all outside controllers so you'll be driving with the keyboard to even things up...

Oh brother! patch too! It damn well aint MY job to oversee everything! I cant play but 1 race online without the game dumping me back into desktop. You dont sound too happy about certain things either.. Codemasters patch exists in the same world that saw Rally 99' delayed...Trans Am 69-72 delayed and then cancelled for the time being...the GPL patch? where is it?... its an imperfect world. But I can tell you this, tonight there was a post on our forum from one of the Toca2 Team talking about how its possible to make the AI corner faster (something that they still dont do well enough). Codemasters takes the weekend off. The patch came out Friday night. That means there has been no official reply to all the posts and concerns and complaints and blame. Tomorrow (Monday) and the following days I think that will change. Try to keep your underwear dry until then, I pray thee. MR Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know.

Does the TOCA2 patch remove any serious bugs (I haven't noticed any..) or improve gameplay in a drastic way?? Otherwise it seems quite unnecessary to patch a well working game... Tuffe

No bugs to squash! A lot of enhancements for internet play, ablility to tweak AI, and maybe a change to a section of Brands. Can't comment on internet play, not my interest, but everyone seems to like this aspect of the patch. In single player after a certain point the AI ceases to amuse and needs to show more speed to make races closer. Inclusion of AI scripting fiddlement helps here. Patch stability issues? Maybe. If you're interested, ya might want to check back in a few days.
