Patch ahoy!

Just got this e-mail:


Hallo Grand-Prix-4.de Mitglieder!

Ihr seid die ersten, die es exklusiv erfahren: Der GP4 Patch erscheint nächste Woche! Dies bestätigte uns Infogrames in einem kurzen Statement. Hoffen wir, dass der Patch die vielen Bugs behebt und ein voller Erfolg wird.
Denn sollten auch nach der Installation des Patches noch grobe Fehler auftreten, ist das Spiel wohl völlig am Ende. Andernfalls könnte es eine "Wiederbelebung" der Szene geben.
Wird Infogrames das einhalten können oder ist es wieder nur eine "leere" Versprechung? Diskutiert darüber...

Eure Foren-Admins!

Hello Grand-Prix-4.de members!

You are the first to be informed exclusively: the GP4 patch will be released next week! This has been confirmed by Infogrames in a short statement. Let's hope the patch will be a full success and remove all the bugs. If there should still be severe bugs after the installation of the patch, the game would finally be dead. Otherwise it can be revived by the community.
Ids Infogrames gouing to keep there promise or is it just some other idle talk? Feel free to discuss it.

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

:D!

lets hope its better than the last one

knowing infogrames/geoff it probably screwes up all the editors already made by changing the whole game around


j\k =]

Looks real enough. Have a glance at what I snapped from <www.simracingworld.com>

Geoff Crammond has passed on some more information about the current status of the Grand Prix 4 patch to SimRacingWorld: -

The latest on the patch is that there were some issues which arose during testing which led to another version around the 4th of November. Consequently I think the earliest we might see the patch is during the week commencing 18th November. However, it is up to Infogrames to decide when it is ready for release.
Thanks to Geoff to keeping us updated.

Can't help being slightly excited...

Can't help being slightly excited...

one thing to remember though, how excited were you when GP4 was coming out?

i'm still a little aprehensive, and feel that the patch is'nt going to correct the correct things






LS's Tip of the week
ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

Do u think they would have improved the performance of the engine to get better fps, particulary with xp?



Band of the week: Muse
Game of the week: Call of Duty

AMD XP 2700+ | Asus A7N8X nForce 2 Deluxe | 1 GB PC2700 RAM DC | ATI RADEON 9800 | WD 120GB 8MB | NEC 16x DVD | Lite-on 48x24x48 | XP

Maybe Microsoft should come out with a patch for XP! :P

My fingers, toes and everything else are crossed. Certain other parts of me however were too painful to cross, so they remain uncrossed.

some cheese parts maybe ?? ))

They'll only sort out the performance issues if they're relatively simple to correct. If not, xp users and all other people with poor performance will have to wait untill GP4 2002 or GP5 (If they come about).

Hey lets not bitch-slap the patch just yet.

I am as dissappointed about the way GP4 turned out as the next guy. I think it sux that they released the game 6 months too early. But at least they are producing a patch. One thats even tested. Yes, it might be bad as @!#$. Yeah, it might do nothin about performance. Yeah it might even degrade the performance, and add more bugs to boot.

BUT...

We have not seen it! But commenting on what it wil do, or doesn't do?!? Thats just plain silly. We might as well be taking bets on what the login will be for the next person that registers on the forum will be. Or what shape the next cloud that passes the Mount Everest might have. Or whether not we will experience nuclear war within the next 25 years. Not very smart really... :p None of us know JACK about that!

I suggest (and have done so several times) that we take the patch when it comes, and try to figure out what we think about it in an organized way. I, for one, put in a lot of time and effort into getting it going, and I would like to know if it was worth it.

There will be plenty of time to bitchslap the patch, if it sux... Actually you will have the rest of your life to do it. So lets wait a week or two, before we begin, and lets make sure we know what we are talking about when we get there, okay?

every1 wants an edit button and it has been said so many times.....

keep pushing for that edit button guys ;D

You have a right to say whatever you want. Just don't think that your right of free speech somehow makes you excepted from being slammed, if someone else can see that you opinion isn't all that qualified. The right to free speech doesn't make everything as true as everything else.

I believe there are low chances that first patch mistake will be repeated twice.

On the other hand at the moment we could be only excited to wait 1 or 2 or 3 weeks to see what will happen after the installation of the upcoming patch !

Then,after couple days of testing we could as well release our opinions.

For the moment,I repeat ,for the moment,by now,till today...etc.. I can say thanks to IG to support ,even if they are so late and they are so comunicationsless. < ( I invented this word ) <

The future will judge the patch not the present.

Boomy

comunicationsless. < ( I invented this word ) <

Could we have a description?

It means the opposite of non-communicationful
