hello,

i'm new to this forum and very glad to still find an active community on the beautiful game that GTR2 still is.
I would like to be able to play online with you (i am very angry to have missed the opportunity to drive in Aero 8...)
the problem is I can't connect..
my version is still a Simbin CD one but I cannot access the lobby (while my version is 1.1.0.0).
Is there something special I am missing there ?

please help !!!
thanks

schielchen OFFLINE Routinier [A-Team] Posts: 710	Hi Thibal and welcome Version 1.1 is the right one. I'm not sure if a noCD patch is necessary, but it is conveniant. Have you installed our updater and downloaded all the content?

Nobody OFFLINE Profi Simulant (A-Team) Posts: 1980	I can help you there. but not until 8 pm I'll delete you from the lobby. Then you can sign up again. I think you have made a small mistake. Mostly with the mail address. Update. I do not find you in the lobby with that name. Updater was finished? that sets your Gtr2 correctly. There is also an old SimBim lobby.

Can you look up the lobby section in your Autoupdater? You should find that under "Configuration - Settings - Lobby".
If it looks like this we at least know you´re trying to access our lobby and not the old SimBin lobby:

- If it looks different, then you should download the Lobby Patch here and extract the files into your main GTR 2 folder.
- In case you´re already trying to access our lobby, I´m unfortunately not the right one to talk to as Nobody knows way more about the lobby stuff.
