GTL with Windows 7

Guess what?

After months and months of fine tuning their brand spanking new OS to make it uber compatible with every known application on earth, Microsoft have gone and ballsed it all up again.

GTL will not install in windows 7, at all.

Setup runs fine, then when i go to reboot, 7 fails to load and it goes into auto repair mode which does a system restore to undo the installation.

I have read up and it seems this is an issue with starforce drivers not being compatible, i've tried removing them and updating them but it jsut says that there are no drivers installed.

Is anyone else running GTL on 7, or do they know of a solution to this issue? Just under a week until RDHGP kicks off, either starforce or MS better get writing some patches!!!!


Thanks in advance,
Tom

You just need to extract the GTL Light files directly into the main GTL program files folder.

GTL Light isn't the same as GTL 2008 - but I found that GTL 2008, which is a crack, messed up my sound. GTL 2008 is a copy of the game that was released in a German gaming magazine, it doesn't have starforce on it so the game will run with no CD and it will not moan if you remove starforce from the PC.

To clarify incase my rushed PM's were confusing.

Once you have installed the game and the V1.1 patch, do the starforce removal steps i detailed in PM, also in an earlier post in this thread.

Once you have removed starforce completely from the PC - reboot. If windows loads, your OK.

Once you have rebooted - extract the GTL Light download directly in the GTL folder - this will replace a few files and will allow the game to start. You can unzip it to the desktop and then copy paste all of the files it extracts to C\program files\GTL, saying yes it it asks if you want to replace the files.

This gives you a working game - but in German, just copy your UI data folder back in and this will restore your settings.

I hope this works, I'm not sure I have any more answers if It doesn't.

If your uninstalling the game to start again - delete the GTL folder, an uninstall doesn't remove the folder.

Thanks Tom Ill try it again :)
 
hi
Yesterday i buy new Windows 7 but tomorrow i sell this ........... of ......... :)
on ebay.I fight with this OS and GTL one day from 7:30AM to now and nothing.try everything but nothing help.Microsoft shame you :).I return to my XP.in this system everything looks ok.For me even Ubuntu is better than Vista or 7 because is for free and is a matter of time when we play in ours favorite games :) on this OS :D
 
extracts to C\program files\GTL, saying yes it it asks if you want to replace the files.

Im sorry but when you extract/copy paste it does not ask to replace ANY
file it goes right in..open GTL and its there.. GTLEGENDS under GAMEDATA ??

If you open the gtlegend file you see files same as if you open gamedata file... so am I missing something ?

Im lost on this one sorry :struggle:

ryan I tried this mate but it still didnt work...
if I do it again i will loose everything iv added progs an stuff or will I ?
 
Piotrek, the only thing I can add is that when I installed it using just GT Light, it didn't run for me. No error or anything, the game just didn't launch. I then used GTL 2008, copied back my UiData folder and it worked.

I don't know if I followed Tom's instructions exactly but the other thing different for me is that there were no Startforce drivers installed at all so didn't need to remove them.

Oh, I'm on 64 bit. Not sure if it makes a difference.
 
Ryan I got it working with the crack but online wont work so what and were is the file you mension for lower case ?? Im nearly there:)
I got to take boys out swimming now Ill be back around 7:15 ish
I should be able to make the race if I can sort it with your help
