ARCA SIM RACING UPDATE SOFTWARE v2 RELEASED

If you have not updated since you installed from your DVD, you will need to do so to stay current with the online lobby, as well as take advantage of track updates and new features. We have a NEW Automatic Update System V2 which is very easy to install and use. Thanks to Seil for his great work on this client.

This system will bring you to the current build regardless of what build you currently have.

 

ARCA UPDATE SOFTWARE v2.0

ARCA Sim Racing 08 Patch Update 1128C Instructions:

With patch 1128C we are implementing a slightly different patching structure. The new structure was designed to eliminate the issues seen in previous patches. The most significant change is the introduction of a new Auto Updater Client.

Once you are patched to 1128C you will not have to mess with any of this again. However in order to update to 1128C please read the following directions carefully:


Step 1:

Download the new Auto Updater client and extract both the ARCA_Updater.exe and ARCA_Updater.dat files to the ARCA Remax folder where your game is installed to.

You may delete the old updater files.

Telling the difference between the old and new files:

Old Auto Updater:

Name: ARCA UPDATE.exe and ARCA UPDATE.dat
EXE Icon: Globe Icon

New Updater:

Name: ARCA Updater.exe and ARCA Updater.dat
EXE Icon: Sim Factory Icon (Same Icon as ARCA.exe)


***NOTE*** If you were one of the people who got the updater to work already before this announcement, even if it looks like you have the new updater files, you need to remove them they will not work.


Step 2:

Run the new updater client. Client will download 1128C and patch your game.

A direct link to the patch should be available shorty after the patch is made public for anyone that cannot use the Auto Updater client for whatever reason.

This patch will update the following versions of ASR08 to 1128C:

1.0 (Fresh DVD Install)
1128
1128 -With Manual Daytona AIW Fix
1128a
1128a -With Manual Daytona AIW Fix
1128b
1128b -With Manual Daytona AIW Fix
1128C (pre-release) -With Manual Daytona AIW Fix
1128C (pre-release) -With No Daytona


Every version mentioned above was tested and worked 100%

If you have any other issues, for instance issues loading tracks other than Daytona or otherwise, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO RE-INSTALL FROM THE DVD.

If you have ANY issues with the Auto Updater client or the patch and are seeking support please zip all log files with a 1128C marking and submit them with your support request. I am unable to debug a partial log file.

I have done as much as I can to keep users from needing to re-install their game in order to patch to 1128C right now. If there are any cases in which a reinstall is required, be sure to get the log files from your original attempt to me and let me know if nothing worked other than re-installing. I can assure you all that the more log files I receive specific to fatal errors where a patch could not run, the less that reinstalls will occur in the future.

Thankyou and please enjoy!
