1.2 patch unofficial?

AH mentioned her surprise at the release of the patch. Another forum poster wondered how the pits got a beta patch. The read me is unofficial looking. Alisonnic... is this the real deal or a waste of time? JM

Yep, it IS pretty unofficial-looking, but it seems to work fine and I'm back in real-time again! Looks like my 1.1-induced GPL break is over; better get back to practicing. GF's not gonna like this at all..... Cheers, Steve B.

I don't mind, if it's official or not, as long as it works (it seems to do :-) Strangely the German readme doesn't seem 'unofficial' to me. Everything there about contacting Sierra, tech support and a whole bunch of stuff about legal issues. Peter Vienna, Austria

it will only work another hour or two. The beta expires Oct. 1. and yes, this was a leaked beta. dangit...(always remember to back up your .exe files when you overwrite them with a new version....) gotta listen to my own advice dave henrie

Why would you need to back-up a file that is on the CD? Marc.

The exe on the CD is the original gpl.exe non-patched version. Most of us are running the gpl.exe version 1.1 and also have modified the team names (Honda/Cooper), so if you didn't backed up your screwed unless you want to re-install everything. I know Im one of them, so I'll wait until it's official to re-install GPL :) Unless somebody post the gpl.exe 1.1 file with the Team name changes, and that would still be illegal ! -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

I do all that, too, but I also therefore keep the patches handy to re-apply if necessary. Since every popular racing game seems to be patched to the hilt these days, you have to be well organised! Marc.
