1.2 reverts to 1.1.0.3

I've installed the 1.2 patch for GPL but I found that Stewart's name and face had been deleted. Damn!!! So I reinstalled the Stewart patch to put his name and face into the game. I turned on GPL and, instead of showing GPL 1.2, it had reverted to 1.1.0.3. It's not a real problem getting it back to version 1.2 but then I lose the Stewart info. Is there a newer patch for the 1.2 version that puts Stewart's face in the game? thanks buzz

AFAIR it's enough to change the driver.ini (replacing e.g. Beltoise), and to add a picture of Stewart (in the proper format). -- Matthias Flatt

Weird, the version number probably can't be juggled around with that easily. In any case the Stewart patch you tried wasn't meant for 1.2. Perhaps the patch is available for 1.2. Ruud van Gaal MarketGraph / MachTech: http://www.marketgraph.nl Art: http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery

The reason it reverts is because it's all in the EXE...both the version and the info. I think you may be able to do it with a program called GPLSeason or somethin, but I don't know much about it... -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652 BRT #187 "It goes down the same as a thousand before No one's gettin' smarter, no one's learnin the score The never ending spree of death and *** and hate Is gonna tie your own rope" -'Come Out And Play', The Offspring

I use Stewart patch ver. 20 and it works fine for me, if you cant find it anywhere on the usual sites I can e-mail it to you (40KB). Mark

This is what I'm trying to find out. Is there a patch for 1.2? roy

I had the same problem, but I found out, what mistake I made: I installed the 1.2 patch over a "clean" 1.1 version (without any second party patches). Then I put "my" car-folder with the patched cars inside gpl 1.2 and made the test: Version 1.2.0.1. Then I installed my first aid 2.0 patch, the test showed the old 1.1.0.3 version??? The mistake was, that my first installation was not made over a complete gpl-folder, there was the car-folder missing (I forgot to save it in that clean 1.1 security-folder, because I thought of changing the cars anyway). I completed the clean security folder with the cars-folder from the original gpl-CD and then patched it with 1.2 and firstaid 2.0 and carsound and brands and dubai and the nascar-tracks-patch and now, all is working fine!!!! :-)))) Hope, it'll help Rolf Wesemann
