As Bernd said earlier, the Patch Inspector reported you did not have the required sound files for the sound patch. If you apply the sound patch you must install the additional sound files required for the 67 cars. Have you done that yet?

OK,i have done,but can explain me what appens if i change only the GEM in my installation?I have only disinstalled the old version and installed the new,I have changed nothing in the soun and before wass all OK(65,66,67,68,69).I have senn one thing,like I have explained to Bernd earlier.
During the installation of the new GEM ,when the installer ask for a path to gpl,if i choose my folder GPL67 i have a displacement of the button in GEM and after this if  i load my gpl.exe in the folder GPL66 ,I have this error:(I have 3 disk)base exe G:\gpl67\gpl.expath1=G:\gpl66|does not exist.
In any case at the moment the 66 is returned OK.

Francesco, we are as puzzled as you what is wrong with the latest GEM. We need to ask Paul Thurston what he changed because you are not the only one to have this problem. I'm sorry I can't answer your question, all I know is what you need to do to get GPL working.

[Bernd Nowak]

Paul hasn't changed anything.
The difference is that the installer ask you for the GPL path and set the first installation for GEM to this.

You have to check the installations in GEM via the Installs button.

Unfortunatly I can only offer sound patched GPL.exe files which all require that the sounds are installed too and not the one included in the sound.dat file. Even the Carsound option need those files.

I had no problems installing GEM with the installer on XP/Vista but the difference is that I use the GPLPS installer or the All In One patch if something goes wrong. Only need to make a backup of core.ini, gpl.exe and app.ini before applying the All In One patch.

My only problem with the GPL 67 problem is why you haven't made a backup of the GPL.exe, core.ini and app.ini and applied the All-In-One patch to the GPL directory which don't work ? Apply the patch and start the GPL.exe in this directory. Should work. Oh, maybe if you have changed AI files make a backup copy first too. Or download the latest CPU FIX and extract the installer file and use this GPL.exe file. It's clean but is the latest one. Use UniExtract to unzip the installer.

I do work with PCs and server now for 20 years and there are things one don't have to understand. The problem for Paul, me and others is that no one has the source code of GPL so we all do only binary patching.

It would be useful for some of us to understand what GEM+ actually does to our executables. For example, my gpl.exe gets changed (comparing with gplc67.exe) even if I untick every option so there are some default patches applied silently. Also, my 60fps client/server matching patch is not applied correctly by GEM+ and I don't know why. Then there is the question which patches are applied first, those in the Options folder or mod patches?

But after a recent GEM update (for the 66 mod I think) some other people, like Francesco, suddenly needed to install the sound patch, even if they left the option unticked in GEM. They did not need to do that before. Like you Bernd, I have had the soundpatch installed for quite some time so it did not affect me. But something surely has changed somewhere?

[ginetto]

I don't know if this is the right place to post my problem which is with setup manager;
if I open a 65 mod setup it tells me that it doesn't recognise if is a 66 or a 69 setup then it asks me if is a 66 setup, I answer no and it doesn't open anything sayng that i don't have to mod installed

Does somebody has a solution for this weird behaving?

thank you

I was looking for a new post but couldn't find one, now I know why

Hey guys, sorry if this has been asked before (and I'm sure it has).

Had a HD crash the other day and lost heaps of data, but luckily all the important stuff is intact (read GPL). So I have re-installed windows XP. I know that GPL should be OK but Gem will not load.

Can I just reinstall Gem/iGor over existing files or do I need to delete the GPL Secrets folder. Thought I'd better ask first, have had enough stress already trying to recover everything else.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
rob

I would delete the GPL Secrets folder just to be on the safe side. This is only my advice and I am by no means an expert, I just think that it would be best seeing it isn't working for you anyway.
