View Full Version : I'm new here YAUNDERSTAND 04-11-2002, 11:01 AM OK, i'm new here and I want to get into online racing but I have no idea of where to start or anything. I have POrshce UNleashed and when I click on the multiplayer thing it says I need to get a download for the updated version but the update never works. Where should I start? Do I have to join a group of racers or something? WHAT DO I DOOOOOOOOO!!!!!????????????=[ Wazza 04-11-2002, 03:03 PM you have to download the 3.5 update.. when I reinstalled Porsche Unleashed 4 months ago, it worked on the website, yet for everyone else it didnt seem to.. it is supposed to be auto update rather than manual... but there is a link somewhere, which someone should post.. i dont know it.. anyway a couple of tips for when you do go racing.. in a game room or pit... listen to the leader.. it is their pit, their rules... most people run with collision and damage off... meaning you can drive thru other cars... i thought it was weird first time. don't be impatient in the pits, such as yelling GO GO GO GO GO.... and finally.. HAVE FUN... and watch the pros... DC, XR, SK (meeee) LR, DR, UK etc... YAUNDERSTAND 04-11-2002, 03:08 PM OK, so I should still be able to race and stuff even though I have that nfs.car file that gave me the skid pad and took out the intro? YAUNDERSTAND 04-11-2002, 03:09 PM and where do I find these pits and stuff at? sorry I have no idea of wat I'm supposed to do or anything. Wazza 04-11-2002, 03:30 PM you can race the skidpad? i think that replaces a track such as MC3.. im not too sure.. but there is a cheat which u type in to race skidpad... SmashUp and its demo-derby style...

SmashUp and its demo-derby style... Yea I can race it all the time. It didn't take the place of a MC track though, the person who did it made room for it by taking out the intro to the game Kemperz 04-11-2002, 06:32 PM Where did you get the track, post the link to the download if you don't mind, I wanna race the skidpad!! Cheyenne 04-12-2002, 02:20 AM Hi, YAUNDERSTAND! :wave: I may have replied to you on this subject in another thread in the Main forum, but just in case, try this link to a thread in this forum, I believe it has the information that you need to update: Updates for online racing? (http://www.racerplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1402) Good luck to you. Hope to see you online soon! Edit: OOOH! Also check this thread for the message by "Chris", it's a gooder: I can't race online (http://www.racerplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1377) YAUNDERSTAND 04-12-2002, 10:47 AM Originally posted by Kemperz Where did you get the track, post the link to the download if you don't mind, I wanna race the skidpad!! I'll get it for you, hold on. Just remember that it takes away the intro to the game YAUNDERSTAND 04-12-2002, 10:57 AM u'll find it near the bottom of this track list http://www.nd4spdworld.com/?section=nfspu&page=track YAUNDERSTAND 04-12-2002, 12:26 PM OK, another problem. I downloaded that patch that ya'll gave me the link to but the thing still says I need an update patch. SuperDave9x19 04-12-2002, 04:56 PM I had this issue and solved it on these forums... | | | V http://www.racerplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1336 Kemperz 04-14-2002, 12:59 AM Thanks for the track YAUNDERSTAND. YAUNDERSTAND 04-20-2002, 11:24 AM so maybe should I re install the game over? DaveR 05-07-2002, 09:42 PM YAUNDERSTAND I don't think you need to reinstall. I registered and played for the first time last night, and at first had the same problem. Only, it was something quite simple - the updater takes a while to kick in. Approx. 3 minutes for me. I executed the auto update install in the NFS folder, which seemed to set up fine. But clicking the icon does not work - I got some weird error. So I ditched that idea, and instead went back to the game. In the game menu, after selecting "Multiplayer", "Internet Games", you will get the "A new version is available you must update before you can play" message. Select Update Now, but give it time to kick in. Like I said, about 3 minutes for me. You can check that it is "thinking" by looking at the "Task List" (CTRL+ALT+DEL). You should see an entry there for EAUpdater (or similar). And the file is approx 3.5 MB so depending on your connection, it can take about 15 minutes to download. Anyway, I had the same problem, but managed to get through it fairly easily (but with some patience). Give it a go. Hope it works. (And maybe we'll see you tonight?) The DaveR Muad'Dib 05-08-2002, 07:01 PM I did the same thing you did DaveR, but there was no server for me to connect to. What did you do after you got back into the game. TMiller 05-08-2002, 08:11 PM I know this is really off topic but I was wondering if muad'dib's SN came from the book Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune. I'm sorry if I bothered anyone by posting off topic. But I just had to find out. Muad'Dib 05-09-2002, 09:47 AM Actually my name did come from those books, but does anyone have a suggestion for my problem. Thanks, Muad'Dib |
