Hello, my GTL DVD seems damaged and effectively game doesn't start.
Is it possible to play through a different way, perhaps te autoupdater?
Thanks everybody

Hi Piero,

Have you tried cleaning your disc drive and CD?

If your CD is actually damaged then you need to buy another copy or find someone who can send you CD a that has GT Legends CBS on it.

This is a version that installs the game fully onto your hard drive and is around 2.5GB.

Cheers,

I think, if your DVD is damaged, you need to buy a new one. In Germany, Swiss and Austria, there is the possibility to buy a game magazine, which includes a "non-CD"-version of the game. But its just for those three countries, I think.

The game costs 10 € at Amazon at the moment.Some partners offer used, but perfect working version for just 3 €.

Thanks, but what's GT Legends CBS?
In case of new cd I have to uninstall and reinstall the game, so I'll loose all data?

CBS is a Computer-magazine in Germany.
Computer-Bild-Spiele...
First you have to save your gamedata & your PLR files..
after reinstall put it in your new game and all your datas are in the game again..
Cheers Thomas



Edit: Welcome to the Bude

I thik is easier t buy a new one, isn't it?

Hi Piero,

If you buy another GTL CD or install the CBS version you will not lose your Bude downloads but it is best to make a copy of your UserData folder just incase.

Get what GTL is the easiest and most convenient for you would be the best policy.

If I attach my actual user data folder in GTL game after reinstallation with a new cd, can I play with my old nicknames (33 stradale & swish) without re-registering again?
Cheers

Yes it should work OK as long as you have all the same GTL elements of the game as before.

You should try the running new GTL disc when you get it and see what happens. Maybe it will all work fine.

If you are going to reinstall by using a new GTL game CD then use the uninstall feature on there first if it has one and uninstall GTL.

Then reinstall it again and don't forget the 1.1 patch.

Gee

Well, I've found a GTL dvd from a frien, reinstalled the game and.. haven't lose any data, any setup, NOTHING!!!!!!!
Many thanks everybody!
Cheers

Google: gt legends no cd I't a patch you apply once the game is installed which allows you to play it without the cd.
I only bought the game last week and found it easily enough, dunno where from now but if you cant find it email me i saved it.

Hi Wity and welcome to the Bude m8,

The GTL without a disc is not a patch and cannot be e-mailed as it's around 2.5GB.

You either need to know someone who can mail a DVD with the game to you or if you have access to a FTP server that you can upload/download from & to then it may be possible.

I see your Avtar is of the infamous 'Andy Capp'. Are you from around the North East of England perhaps and keep pigeons? He he.

We are on about two different things Geedee the patch i'm on about is a no cd crack some 48.1 meg available here:
http://www.megagames.com/fixes/gt-legends? tab=downloads

along with another that opens up everything and give you loadsa money. Just the job for those like me that cant stand the "game" element.


Both work perfectly, my game was installed a couple of days and i'd added some tracks when i found and applied them.


Newcastle's a four hour drive from Wolverhampton. Andy's pigeons can get there quicker i bet.
His other famed pastime is of course snooker which i'm addicted to thus tha Avtar.

There again he's most famed for bashing his missus, cant say i do the same though I threw mine out years ago, hell i had ten years of marraige you dont get that for murder nowadays :d

Hi Wity,

I didn't know about that no cd patch and it works OK you say.

There is a possibility that it may not work so well in the future as the Bude are hoping to switch to a no disc version by CBS if there testing of a new car classes system works well with it. Perhaps someone knows more about this and can tell us.

Anywhooo, I have been married now for almost 36 years so I guess I'm a 'lifer'.

Maybe I'll see you on track soon m8.

Cheers,

Gee-Deeman

Yeah it works fine as long as you run the bat file once you install the patch to remove the starforce encryption.

I started reading this thread at no grip and after the first post looked for the no cd patch as indicated but could not find it so i googled. Should have read more it was mentioned later in that thread at post number 47.

About the car classes system you mentioned..

I've not looked into the filing system as yet but methinks it might be pretty easy as it's what i did for SCGT. Maybe the same process will work. In that game also modded quite a bit when i bought it they had added a file called "patch" to which the main file of an add on car was added. With so many add ons some good some bad you could be racing against almost anything so the answer was to create a new executable. Only one or two had cracked how to copy and what to edit in the original exe and to be honest they had done a pretty poor job of it then deserted the game for the newer sims that had come about. I looked into it and came up with the answers and hosted a dummy called easy.exe with instructions which meant from then on each new carset made had it's own exe with 4 classes in it and anyone could put any car in any exe in whatever class they chose.

Still used today though the following of SCGT is almost extint nowadays see:

As to online racing I think it'll be a while yet right now i'm learning how to drive all over again especially with my wheel as i've spent perhaps no more than a couple of hours in 5 minuite stints over the past 5 year on gran turismo. Me snooker has got lots better though

i'm back in action after my gtl dvd exploded into my lg dvd reader....... yeah that's bad.... but now new gtl dvd copy just arrived. ofcourse i had to pay again for it, but gtl is a must have for me ... so im not sad of payng another 13€ for it.

i've tried the no cd with seven, but after apply it modded cars wont work annymore. even if i load the skyline for example it will pop up the trial with the gt40 :|


so ive gone back to vista

see u in race!!

gtl wont start... the new dvd give me error..... i tried reinstall but same error. dunno if it's because i have only 1 sata dvd burner.... (before i had a ide dvd reader, but after dvd blowed up i cant use it annymore.....

hi, tnx for reply. some times ago i installed 7 64bit and try play my great gtl game but...... no way to play with the sf protection, so i tried that no-cd and ... each car i choose it give me the gt40 or wrong cockpit and so on. i choosed then to come back to vista 64bit... and played well gtl till the dvd game blowed up inside my dvd reader.

now i've seen that the old and new dvd got the same exact dvd key..... so dunno why this wont work.... maybe starforce wont let u play with a sata dvd burner?

The Original-DVD with Starforce-shit is not running on win7!! sorry about my bad english.
Cheers Thomas

No, it should not matter which kind of dvd reader or burner you use. And I would recommend Win 7 with the no cd patch.

If you just have only the GT40, it's maybe a problem with your online key. You can send me a pm with your lobby name. Then I can check, if it's a problem with your online key.

Cheers
Andreas

i have windows vista 64bit now and played gtl till some months ago when my last dvd reader and dvd game were ok...

Edit: i think the problem is the sata dvd ... tomorrow i'll try with an ide drive and let u know.

tnx guys for the help

finally i've solved the problem by putting an ide dvd burner and games now start again well
