GPxPatch 4.52 [Released]

Actually I am not entering any performance files with this latest batch. I just leave that unchecked.

OK - if you run a 100% race using the default 2001 game - no mods or custom tracks - how many cars finish a race typically now after you updated to 4.52?

@ParisHL, @AustinF1: If you replace GPxPatch with an older version, does it change anything?

Could I trouble users for some advice - the hoary old problem of GP4 running on Windoze 10 ...

I have been kicking this problem around for ages. I started with GP2, then GP3 and GP4. I have followed the instructions for using GPX (v4.52), I've set GP4.exe to be run as administrator and have set the .exe to run in compatibility mode (XP, SP2 and 3 tried).

But I just don't get anywhere. Here's the log file created by GPX:
Starting log

Clueless ... I might know how to write a book and publish it or build and design a website, but sheesh, trying to get GP4 to run is really beyond me. So if anyone can help I would be most grateful.

With thanks.

Haven't tried that, yet. But will this week and advise. Thanks

Try to upgrade to 1.02, and if that doesn't help, using the decrypted GP4.EXE should help.

Thanks René, I'll let you know how I get on.

EDIT: Excellent - all up and running! Many thanks.

My issue turned out to be nothing to do with GPxPatch v4.52, it was MD settings. I'd still like to know where to go in the Patch to set the CC errors chances. Thanks

Just a short question really, is car specific teamnames something that might make it in soon^TM, or still rather far away? Seem to recall I requested that feature a while ago for older seasons with 1 car teams, so just wondering

Probably never, it's too much work.

Yes, it's there (https://bitbucket.org/sdidit/usr/issues/157/performance-file-2-names-for-one-team), but as I commented there it's not trivial to implement.

Hi René !

I've noticed something odd.
CC car performance seem to be influenced by the player car team dependant option. I got different result depending on "old behaviour" or " power and grip" selected. The latter gives greater variance of cc cars laptime. I think this option should not have influence cc cars but it seems to be. Would you have look please ?

I thought that the car power team dependant option is for all( both CC and player) and so on.

Oh really ? Hope René will clarify this

I suspect that's because of Belini's grip patch that I incorporated in GPxPatch (unless you select 'old behaviour'. It affects both players and CC's.

Thanks Rene !
So the proper use is within gpxpatch.
Player grip performance file+ old behaviour in gpxpatch
OR
power and grip in gpxpatch only

player grip + power and grip cannot be used together ?
Thx

They can be used together. Player master grip changes a different grip value. Both grip values affect the final grip.
