GTL "New Lobby" Fix - The definitive RD guide.

[Stuart Thomson]

As requested in another thread, here's a simplified and collated version of the "new lobby" fix, which is what we'll be trying to use going forward.

The new lobby requires a new file and a small registration process.

1. Download the file and drop it into your GTL installation folder - download
2. Open GTL
3. Go to Multiplayer -> Internet
4. Click on the "Register" button

5. Enter your details - please note that this does NOT have to be your previous user/password combination. It will not affect your name online, as that is taken from the profile name.

6. Click the Orange Arrow - NOT the Log-In button - You will get a "Registration accepted" message

7. You'll be taken back to the Log-In screen, click the Orange arrow

8. At the new lobby, select RD game as normal.

Yeah i will take a look this week. Hope i can fix it. :smile:

 

[Stuart Thomson]

You will :thumbup:

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Did a clean install but with this fix i can't get GTL working for some reason. Ill be repeating the steps once more.

Username already excist is the message i get I give up, i have been busy reinstalling and trying workaround the Win 7 stuff but no success.

"could not connect to the server" is the message i get now.

Post merged.

I give up, uninstalled and moving on!

I have a question..
I typed bad ONLINE key before and now (I reinstalled the game, deleted everything with tacle or simbin tag) it doesn't want to type ONLINE key and it only says during the registration proces "invalid cd key" (it means online I guess) but I don't know where do I have to type it? Another reinstall didn't helped me..
thanks

Had same problem and deleting registry entries containing 10tacle, and GTL helped. Maybe You missed some keys in registry?

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

nonono I deleted everything there is nothing with simbin, tacle or legends tag

 

[Michael Herrmann]

Ivo i have the same problem and got it solved with going to a offline track befor i try to join the lobby dont know why it is so
but atleast after i was on a track offline the lobby works again

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

ok I ll try

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

nothing I have to type correct online key but the problem is I don't know where? I reinstaled it again (deleted even registers which wasnt gt legend's) and still I hadn't any chance to type it... : (((((((((

 

[Roman Kruszewski]

I did it like this - I run win 7 64 bit

1. Uninstal GTL
2. Remove GTL directory completly
3. Cleaning registry
4. Reboot
4. Checking registry once more
5. Installing GTL
6. Installing GTL Patches
7. Installing Lobby Fix
8. Reboot
9. Started GTL
10. Created completely new driver profile - nothing from old one
11. Followed instruction of New lobby fix

Do you copy Your old driver's profile or do you create a new one?

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

with what are you cleaning registers?

 

[Senad Subasic]

I did it manually, ran regedit, and searched for GTL and 10tacle, and deleted everything related to the game.
Create a backup first if you're going to poke in there manually too.

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

yea I did too but without any result maybe some software will be better
edit: or for which registers I have to look? it didn't find any "tacle" or "simbin" or "legends" register

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

I deleted every register manualy, then I used AML Free Registry Cleaner & RegCleaner, more then 400 problems were solved (and some GTL registers too, because during the installation it didn't remember install path from ago)... but still there is no way to type online key... I am out of ideas, I have 9 days to solve it, so please I will appreciate every advise .. I trust that we can solve it together
there must be another way to put my online key into the game, maybe in PLR something or something like that
I wont give up

and yes, I did and I create totaly new profile (not copy)

I did it like this - I run win 7 64 bit

1. Uninstal GTL
2. Remove GTL directory completly
3. Cleaning registry
4. Reboot
4. Checking registry once more
5. Installing GTL
6. Installing GTL Patches
7. Installing Lobby Fix
8. Reboot
9. Started GTL
10. Created completely new driver profile - nothing from old one
11. Followed instruction of New lobby fix

Do you copy Your old driver's profile or do you create a new one?

I can even supply you references of install process (uninstalling, cleaning, etc.)

You still have 9 days

BTW

Igor Drotár - Ano paňe!

I very like this sentence and his way of driving
I also remember one sentence from his onboarad

Igor Drotar asking his co-driver approaching corner "Five left or right" and after two seconds he talks again "Dosen't matter!"
"Piec pravo czy levo" - "A to jedno"

I have the old getting online issues with win 7 and have not fixed it yet, but was searching around for where GTL is reading my .plr file ... not where I would expect it and "found" it in this location (god bless Mark Russinovich and his Sysinternals tools without whom I would have been seriously screwed many times in the past ) ...

C:\Users\[windows username]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\GTL\UserData|[profile name]

EDIT: BTW ... would have expected it here
C:\Program Files (x86)\GTL\UserData, but nothing is created there when I start GTL and make a new profile ...


... will keep checking things out, and sorry if this is a duplicate post but thought this might help anyone looking find out where GTL might be getting its settings from :wink:

 

[Michael Herrmann]

my plr is located in a totaly different location its into the gameinstall folder under userdatas i checked if there is maybe a 2nd one under the
location you described but no there is no GTL entry

 

[Ivo Simons]

Yeah i am back!
GTL is working for me again.

I complety did a other install with not using my GTL disk.

I downloaded the Legal version with the torrent where you not need the starforce patch etc.
Installed GTL
Installed the lobby fix
Went online and he asked me for a Serial number but didnt use the one from the CD but the codes from autobild
(http://www.racedepartment.com/gt-legends/31297-free-keys-for-gtl.html ) filled it in registered and all was oke.

Corvette here i come again in S5.
