wrighty496 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 (edited) Is the 1.8 patch okay to install? http://www.texasspeedracing.com/index.shtml 5513[/snapback] yes and no - thats the correct version of the 1.80 patch, but if you install this and then try to enter Jolt you'll get an 'older version' warning in the server lobby that stops you from entering. Best solution is to keep 1.72e (our normal patch), 1.73 (upgrade) and 1.80 (final patch) all handy in a folder - you can install the required patch over the top of the patch thats in as many times as you want (i.e. you can go from 1.80 to 1.73 to 1.72e in that order) but whenever you join an online server, you need the same patch as the host installed. hope this helps ........

jamieg285 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 No, not yet. We need to find out what the purpose of the patch is and if it is beneficial for us to do so. If we do go with this, a proper UK-Dirt announcement will be made telling everyone to do so. Anyone installing the patch regardless will get cheat messages, or worse not be able to connect at all.

Dino Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hi Jamie, as I understand it The Mask was the driving force for this patch and seeing as he is a member of this forum it might be worth asking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty496 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 further to the above, i'm aware now of 3 people who've used the patch and its caused them real problems when theyve gone back to 1.72 so extreeeeeeme caution lads....... fyi, the patch was obtained from Luckys site, though i presume this is the same version as offered on TSR, and i think the problem was rooted int heir use of Norton av/firewall :S cheers .........
