Update totally screwed steam up here :censored:
so am now busy reinstalling the lot (even more :censored::censored::censored

Whenever I tried to start Steam I would get the message "Your Steam ticket has expired" I re entered my user details but still no way was Steam letting me play. After searching on google I found the following solution

Make sure you know your password and Steam user name.

delete the file ClientRegistry.blob from the Steam folder (it will create a new one when you restart)

Start GTRe, Steam will update itself then update GTRe to 1.1.1.20

It worked for me :bananamario:

I managed to run 26 cars on the Nords without the error I got when it was first released, is this fixed for everyone?

If so we can finally run some Nords races

Valentijn Scholten · Oct 21, 2008

how to know the patch has been installed. Just booted steam, no update action for me?

EDIT:
Steam says:

Update News - GTR Evolution
Latest Update: December 31, 1969

Sounds more like Granprix Legens ;-)

Valentijn Scholten · Oct 21, 2008

Stronger FWD -> new PB's and track records to come!

That doesn't mean you have the update, you need to load Evo and go to the main menu and look in the bottom right.

Occured a minidump first run after the patch, and few time later a freeze and an exclamation point into my taskbar.

Config:
Athlon 5000+@6000+ (Black edition)
Asus ME2N-E motherboard
2 go OCZ ddr2 PC 6400
Nvidia 8800 GT 512

It seem that the combo Nvidia 8800gt+Forceware 178.24+Vista 64+1.1.1.20 patch don't work correctly (for me):nono:.
Backing up to the XTreme-G 177.83 Vista 64bit driver resolve my problem.

Sparks under cars are suddenly white. Don't know but it doesn't look really natural to me. Then again, Simbin released games I enjoyed a lot but if it's a matter of support etc. they have to learn a lot. I'm not really amazed.. and well.. I play just to have some fun.. but they can do at least bit of research and looking into the community..

Fabulous!

The main thing that was annoying me was that the STCC front wheel drive cars like the Volvo and Audi were slower than they should be when doing offline games so when I had an s2000 grid they were not getting into the top half of the grid. Now the Volvo C30s are about 0.8 seconds slower than the BMW at Macau, and are both capable of fighting for pole at places like Mantorp - thanks Simbin.
