I did some testing of PaZa8523's issue, and was able to reproduce it both with and without the refueling time fix enabled (through latest GPxPatch). That would suggest that that issue is not related to this fix. It's an odd one, though... it seems to happen every time for scheduled stops, and never for unscheduled ones (if I just hit Enter during my lap). Not sure how it's evenby MikhailM - Grand Prix 4
Confirmed that the current version of GPxPatch overwrites any changes made manually to this code unless the refueling time bug fix is disabled through the config file. Once it's disabled, however, the "instant refueling" change works just as well as with GPxPatch 4.44 (see above).by MikhailM - Grand Prix 4

I've not played GP4 in a while now, so haven't been checking this forum, sorry... @SDI: Awesome, thanks! I'll check it out. @TomMK: Hmm, and here I was thinking it was so simple. I'll test it in the next few days and let you know if I figure it out. In the meantime, can you let me know whether you're using one of the newer GPxPatch versions (4.45 or later) that alrby MikhailM - Grand Prix 4

The offset ending in 0 is the offset of the first byte on the line displayed. The remaining 15 bytes on that same line thus have offsets ending in 1 through F.

The "0x" just means "hex" (base 16) value. So if all your offsets are in hex only (either indicated in some other way or just assumed), itby MikhailM - Grand Prix 4

Thanks all! Sorry didn't specify which version; this is for the decrypted gp4.exe, version 1.02. I don't have a decrypted 1.00 version (didn't know that existed ), so not able to research what the difference is - could anyone point me to where I can find it? The fix will definitely not work with the original (encrypted) exe. SDI Wrote: ---------------------------------by MikhailM - Grand Prix 4
Hi all, As you probably know, there is a bug in the original game where, for a relatively small percentage of pit stops, the car doesn't stay in the pits anywhere near as long as it should, given how much fuel is added. This is most evident on 1-stop strategies where most cars will take 12-15 seconds to refuel but sometimes a car will be out in less than 7 with the full fuel amount. I wasby MikhailM - Grand Prix 4
