Hi everyone. First up, I've been knocking around the 'Bude for a fair while but have only recently started getting seriously involved with updates and modding. This being the case, apologies in advance if the following question marks me out as a bit of a numpty!

I have been working on getting my copy of GTL up to spec so I can download and use extra cars. I have upgraded to GTL v1.1, got Auto Updater and, from there, got the 170MB Car Classes patch and then applied all the current updates supplied. While this all worked very well in itself, unfortunately it seems to have screw with the original Cup Challenge part of the game. Some challenges now have scores of eligible cars, giving oversize grids which crash the game. Other challenges have no eligible cars at all.

Does anyone know if this can be fixed? I started from a fresh GTL install. The only thing I haven't done is download all the cars available through Updater. Could this be a cause of the problem?

Thanks,
SM1275

Hi,

as the updates from the ABB add new car classes and new cars in general, the offline cup doesn't work any longer. If you want to play the cups, you have to make a second seperate (clean) installation of GTL.

But seriously: who wants to play offline, after joining the races here?

Regards
Georg

Well that's the question answered - job done! Thanks Georg. Will have a look at sorting another installation as still quite like trying to beat the computer at its own game now and again. In the mean time will finish my updating and try and get out there on the 'Bude for some action

Hi,

a second installation is no problem, just choose another folder. You can copy your old GTL/UserData/*username*-folder to the new installation, to have your settings and (hopefully) career in the new installation. You just have to sort the shortcuts on the desktop, so they point to the corresponding GTL-Installations...

Speaking about shortcuts: in autoupdater under commands-->create shortcut you can assign more than just one core to GTL, resulting in a nice boost in FPS, if needed.

And again: The AI drives -and brakes!- a bit strange in GTL. And even the hard AI is ... trivial compared to the races here...
