GTL Registration Fix

[Ramon van Rijn]

I made a fix for registration of new online drivers also.
Warren pointed to me this was still not working.

I also found where in the code the referral to the old domains are, so might be able to work together with SB on a fix.

The fix is basicly the same as the normal fix but it uses domain www.gtl-server2.net as domain name with the same ip address. This domain is used for registration of new drivers.

Manually adding "81.3.59.61 www.gtl-server2.net" to the hosts file does the trick or use the attached cmd file.

I have informed SimBin about a GTL fix i can create if they decide on a new domain. It will be a proper fix without hosts file tricks

and when i go use the anti deco to start up gtl, this it sais, only one line:

127.0.0.1 localhost www.gtl-server.net

 

[Warren Dawes]

Bert, have you tried this method??

It's an alternative for those having problems with the Antedeco patch. I have been using this method myself, (although the antedeco also works for me), I just found it simpler.

and when i go use the anti deco to start up gtl, this it sais, only one line:

bert here is a file that will let you connect to the lan connetion. just put this file in your main gtl folder. it worked for me.

Try this, looks very promising.

[Bert Van Waes]

Ok, the hart is pumping again on a normal rate, these 3 alternatives look promising. Tx Warren, Sam and Amir!!
Now let me try this...:coffee2:

It's all about the same file you 3 guys posts. And it doesn't seem to work, i created it myself. Now let's try downloading it instead, maybe i did smth wrong...

(Still on the new pc btw, waiting to test it all on the old if absolutely nothing works. And i still believe myself the registering is still blocking the whole thing, even though it shouldn't go to the lobby when you press lan like you guys think, it actually does when no user at all is registered in gtl. So in my point of view, every person who buys gtl now can't use any off these helping hands simply because the game is still not registered to use online...)

 

[Bert Van Waes]

...Guess what... Games Not Ava*****!!!!!!! ahhhhhhh, i'm getting crazy here...

Oh well, last option then...

On to the old pc with a used to work online version so no need to register GTL. And first try these methods before the antideco.

Unless the community using it now could mean smth. I read you are looking into it Stuart in the other thread closeby this one. So maybe now i just wait another day and hope good news falls out off the sky. And test it also on the old one.

 

[Bert Van Waes]

btw, the host file i posted from my pc, is that what you were talking about when to delete smth in the host file Stuart, delete these GTL-servers? can i safely delete these?

what is this host file. Is it safe to mess with?

Sorry for all these stupid questions but man, these sides of a pc are totally new for me as i never before had to mess with such stuff...:embarrassed:

hi bert. if you want i will open a host game now. i will send you in pm my ip. just reply if you want.btw did you put the file i attached in the previus post to the gtl directory?

 

[Bert Van Waes]

Yes do it please

Is the test server not up?

 

[Stuart Thomson]

and when i go use the anti deco to start up gtl, this it sais, only one line:

Hmmm. That looks right to me. That's what i've got in mine. I'll be trying out the new 'lobby' fix soon as well.

 

[Amir Margalit]

bert ip sent. i opend a host game. so try to connect.

 

[Bert Van Waes]

I send one back... tx again for all these efforts!! but man, it's not working.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

OK - I've added the RD server to the new lobby as outlined in the posts above, I've just connected to it via a NON anti-deco GTL session, and using Internet rather then LAN/Direct IP.

Interested users, please try it out.

Mr Van Waes, my fingers are crossed for you.

 

[Amir Margalit]

it's working :good:.
i folowed sam's post( number 44) downloaded the file. then put it in the main gtl directory and had to register again. got conneted via the reguler internet connection and saw the rd server and many more.
bert ignore my previus post. that's the right way to solve the problem.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Will also test it out.
Edit: Works great. :good:
Hope it also works for you Bert.

 

[Warren Dawes]

I guess we can't all be lucky, it isn't working for me.

After putting the file into the GTL main directory, and restarting GTL, clicking Internet, it doesn't ask me for a new registration.
I get a message - Log in failed - General error

I've tried lots of things:
1. Re-boot router
2. Re-boot PC
3. Try to register again (it keeps coming up with my old registration details, even if I enter a new registration name)
4. If I ping the bierbuden.de address, I get a reply that all is ok
5. Tried entering the bierbuden.de IP address into the Local_IP_Lobby.txt (as advised on No Grip).

None of this works for me. All I can think of is to wait for a day or so in case the dns for Australia is slow to change. Do I have to remove any previous host files from my windows system ???

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Warren, after you've filled in the new registration, make sure you hit the ARROW to progress - I had the same issue until I worked that bit out.

 

[Warren Dawes]

Doh!!! It now seems to be working Stuart, thanks for the tip.

I was able to get into the main lobby, but didn't find any RD servers, probably because we don't have one setup at the moment (????)

 

[Stuart Thomson]

We did have, but the GTL server I left up for testing has been taken down so 2 Race07 F1 servers can run.

 

[Ben Tusting]

I dropped the file into my GT Legends directory.
I created a new account, and when i clicked search i could see the looby :woop:

I don't need to do anything to find the RD server do i?(change something else)
I know the rd server isn't up but i just want to make sure i have a working GT Legends
