Tried to connect to the only 1.2 race on VROC tonight, Alison was hosting, but I got a "server is incompatable" message. Any Ideas? -- don [|]-(_)-[|]

It is in the readme.txt. You can only connect with other servers that are hosting 1.2 But if Eagle Woman was hosting a 1.2, then you should have been able to join. Possibly VROC needs an update. dave henrie

Dave is correct; GPL 1.1 will not connect with GPL 1.2, and vice versa. You need to be running the same version as the server to join a race. VROC supports GPL 1.2 through the VROC applet. Using a recent version of Netscape or MS Internet Explorer, simply go to http://vroc.net. Click on the GPL 1.1 race room, enter the path to your GPL folder in the appropriate box, click on the MOTD button to see a race list, and join a race by double-clicking on it. Extensive details are available on the VROC New User and Help pages. We are working on a version of the VROC applet which will distinguish between 1.1 and 1.2, to make it easier for you to find races hosted with a version of GPL which is compatible with the version you are using. We hope that a version of GPL Spy Boy which has support for GPL 1.2 will be available soon. Apologies for any confusion or inconvenience. The release of GPL 1.2 at this time was something of a surprise for the VROC staff. Alison
