RsRbr 2013 out on Sunday 16/12/12 Patch 2 out 25/12-12

Jeff Feaker · Dec 26, 2012

Patch 2 made my anti virus go off. I can't open the Menu but if I go into the 2013 folder and click on the alone, public or champion icon's it will open up the interface... idk what to do, tried to reinstall the patch but it didn't help. Also made an exception on AVG and it still nothin.. any idea?

Jeff exactly the same as you! Can use individual icons but not the main RS centre one, AVG, Trojan horse.
I noticed this was the same before patch one, but worked after the 1st patch... I guess another patch will be out soon.

Guys, please make sure to post your "bugs" reports at RallyeSim.
Just in case they haven't been reported yet, or there are solutions available.

Hmmmmmm had downloaded both patches not a problem
runs real good no problems
BUT
Just cant download the new tracks

got everything else
maybe the problem is with the track download ?

I can't say if it did this before the first patch I installed it before I even tried to open the game but hopefully with the next patch it will fix it. Not the end of the world by any means I can still play the game.

John Cunningham · Dec 28, 2012

I got nice response for the error, have a read. Does anybody have a spare RS exe as mine has been moved and deleted by avg and I cant seem to get it back or to run it. I am also scared to ask at RS lol

Well, MOST of the guys at RallyeSim are friendly.

There is always one hey, John.

I was originally going to suggest creating the Exception rule in your AVG settings, but Jeff said he had tried that.

So, I'm not sure now. Obviously there is no trojan with the file, so restricting AVG from checking it should work.

Which file specifically do you want John, I haven't installed RSRBR2013 (yet) but if noone else can supply it, maybe I could later on?

BTW: I gave up using AVG after getting heaps of these sorts of problems. I use free Avast now, problems solved (so far).

Ole Marius Myrvold · Dec 29, 2012

Heh, just updated, I'm not able to access the RS.exe either, however, I don't use any antivirus, and, generally have extremely low security on my PC. So, it shouldn't be restricted at all.

Patch installed and runs without problems for me too.
(ClamWin antivirus here)

John Cunningham · Dec 29, 2012

Warren, its the main RS exe (Menu file). but I can use the separate exe's in the main RBR to run the individual menus (alone, champ, public etc) so its no biggy. I will look into avast as I tried to make the exe an exception with avg but it threw a hissy fit and kept blocking it.

Doubt I will ask again at RS.

John, I've sent you a PM with a link to my Menu file. Hopefully, that sorts it for you.

I followed the RallyeSim instructions and the install went ok, no issues for me yet.

It appears that it is a known bug, RallyeSim are planning to fix it in the next Update.

Warren Dawes · Dec 30, 2012

And one more question for me, maybe someone here can answer.
I have had a brief look at the RSRBR2013 Menus / Options etc, and I can't see the previous option to set my timezone to synchronise with the RallyeSim Server.
This seems to have disappeared (or I'm going blind).
Does that now mean that my timezone is automatically recognised by the Server? If so, that is a great improvement.

Or does it now mean that I have to reset my PC clock to the French timezone if I want to join a Session? Hope not.

John Cunningham · Dec 31, 2012

Tony, Warren, the stellar chap that he is has already sent it, I am going to try and find some time to get 2013 up and running today. Though beers may become a factor..

John Cunningham · Dec 31, 2012

demmit just cant get AVG to like that exe, still working on it but it could be the unfixable UTS issue I constantly struggle with...

John Cunningham · Dec 31, 2012

Okey dokey, I am up and runing.

The AVG/RSmenu exe fix was:

With avg turned off
I copied the Patch1 RSmenu exe to a separate folder when I installed Patch one.
I ran patch 2 and then replaced the RSmenu exe with the one from the Patch1.
Turned on AVG

(I dont know why any of the above worked, but it did...)

All working great.
