DVD Version on Windows 7

Note: There are different installation media available

• DVD with V1.0 and Starforce-protection
• DVD with V1.1 ,without Starforce-protection (often referred as CBS-Version in the Forum)
• Steam-Version, probably like the CBS-Version. (the author knows nothing about the steam-Installation, if someone can edit here and give installation hints?)

We start from an unpatched, naked DVD Version 1.0:

• install the game - do not start the game yet!
• it can be a good idea to set the access rights of the GTL-folder to "all", as well as set the linkage to start GTL (and autoupdater) with admin rights.
• install the official patch 1.1 - do not start the game yet! (this isn't necessary if you have already version 1.1 running, of course)
• open the autoupdater, go to "tweaks" and "GTL-patch", install it [[1]][[2]].
• now your installation is ready to run.
• start the download of cars and tracks via the autoupdater (around 20GB)
• you can unlock all tracks and cars via the autoupdater "tweaks" (create TG2001.DYN) and set new car-prizes. Please do not set the prices to "0", as you can't sell the cars afterwards.
• for the mentioned TG2001.DYN to work, you have to create a new profile within GTL. (hint: if you want to save or reuse an old profile, save your UserData-folder, delete your old profile and recreate a profile with the old name, then copy the old UserData-folder over the newly created)
• if you use Win7 64-Bit with more than 2 GB RAM, it's a good idea to go to the autoupdater "commands" and install the 4GB-Patch. GTL is now able to use more than 2 GB of RAM.
• create an online account and join the races!
• as there are obscurities sometimes: The online account within GTL has nothing to do with the Altbierbude-account. Nevertheless it's a good idea to use the same Nicknames on both accounts. To create an online account within GTL: click on the left button of the online-screen. Fill out the form. click on the right button to continue.
