I downloaded the GPL disconnect fix from a link on GPLEA, but the zip was corrupted.

Does anyone khow anywhere else i can get it, or has any other suggestions

That's the same place i downloaded from, the download completes in 1 second, maybe there's just somehting wrong with the link to the download, i'll wait til they fix it.

ASCII Man · 15 Feb 2003, 12:42 (Ref:507520)

I just downloaded it from there and i don't seem have a problem with the zip file being corrupted.

pirenzo · 15 Feb 2003, 14:00 (Ref:507584)

oh, well i don't know what's happening then.

Do you have a firewall or something similar running? Sometimes I have download problems if I don't disable Norton Internet Security.

pirenzo · 15 Feb 2003, 17:30 (Ref:507721)

no

**Aysedasi** · 17 Feb 2003, 12:50 (Ref:509441)

Well, you've obviously got it sorted now P.

By the way, has anyone installed the bandwidth patch?

(I've just realised - this is my 4,000th post!

)

ASCII Man · 17 Feb 2003, 12:55 (Ref:509446)

The what patch?

**Aysedasi** · 17 Feb 2003, 13:13 (Ref:509466)

There is a bandwidth patch available which should get rid of those occasional "bandwidth mismatch" errors. If you don't have it, you won't be able to join races on VROC where the server has the patch installed. I tried it last night for a Spa race and couldn't get in. Trouble is, if you download it, the read me is complicated (runs to 4 pages) and involves manual alterations to your core.ini (amongst other things). As it didn't seem essential, I haven't bothered - yet.

I haven't yet got the disconnect fix, but it stopped the very frequent disconnecting (and it disconnected everytime i came across another car) when i got the cpu speed fix.

AHA!
That must be the reason why i couldn't join the race, right?
Or not?

Where can i get it?

pirenzo · 17 Feb 2003, 19:42 (Ref:509834)

Well i haven't got it and i could get in. What error did you get?

Was it "client/server bandwidth mismatch"?

Damon · 17 Feb 2003, 21:09 (Ref:509912)

Now I'm having problems

. I'm getting booted from the servers ramdomly tonight for some reason.

**Aysedasi** · 17 Feb 2003, 21:31 (Ref:509941)

Spud's server isn't bandwidth patched.

on a tangent to the original discussion in this thread, i downloaded the disco fix and it's done nothing really - except make my races on VROC a little longer...however i still get disconnected - and annoyingly, my frame-rate goes down to about 2p/s before i get chucked off - or i end up throwing the towel in.

pirenzo · 17 Feb 2003, 22:07 (Ref:509984)

good thing i can't get it then

Number Juan · 17 Feb 2003, 22:10 (Ref:509988)

it's better now - it was worse before: i used to sometimes only manage a couple of laps before suddenly being chucked off.

**Aysedasi** · 18 Feb 2003, 08:30 (Ref:510295)

In three months or so on VROC, I've only lost a connection mid-race once I think although I do get disconnected occasionally on my return to the pits just after the race has finished. Must be something to do with your connections. Anyone still trying to race on a 56k modem?

pirenzo · 18 Feb 2003, 13:25 (Ref:510486)

Nope, i've got broadband

Damon · 19 Feb 2003, 15:58 (Ref:511664)

Ok, I'm getting a little worried now. I keep getting kicked back to vroc randomly when trying to race online. It's happening a lot now. I've tried the papy dico fix but it doesn't seem to do anything. I've also tried the bandwidth patch to that just stops me getting in all together. I don't know what to do.

**Aysedasi** · 19 Feb 2003, 16:50 (Ref:511700)

I can't see any reason why it should suddenly start happening to you when it didn't before?

Damon · 19 Feb 2003, 17:21 (Ref:511738)

Thats the problem. If it had happened after I'd done something I'd know how to fix it, but as it is I don't

.

**Aysedasi** · 19 Feb 2003, 18:34 (Ref:511803)

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling VROC and vrocip.exe?

I'm clutching at straws though...

pirenzo · 19 Feb 2003, 19:17 (Ref:511840)

That was exactly what happened to me at the beginning Damon. Then i went and got the CPU speed fix and it all stopped. Now i get "10054:error with networking device" But ithink thats something to do with my wireless radio gear for getting the internet) My dad thought that it would be easier than drilling a hole up to my room for a cable, so it's all sent by radio from a transmitter behind the sofa downstairs, but in reallity, the signal frequently gets so low that you cannot get the net at all)
