Indy Car Racing 2 Patch
Version 1.0.2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TABLE OF CONTENTS
I. INSTALLATION
II. CHANGES FROM VERSION 1.0.1
III. ADDITIONAL HELP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. INSTALLATION
This patch upgrades the full HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION of IndyCar Racing II for
DOS version 1.0.1 to version 1.0.2. It will not work with the CD ROM
installation of the game. It is recommended that you apply this patch to a
clean installation of IndyCar Racing II. This patch contains several batch
files that will help you to apply the patch without losing your setups,
replays and saved races. The recommended steps to upgrading IndyCar Racing II
are:
1) save your current setups, replays and saved races
2) reinstall IndyCar Racing II from the CD-ROM
3) apply the patch
4) restore your current setups, replays and saved races
Note that the patch and its batch files MUST exist in the main directory
where you installed IndyCar Racing II. This is the directory that contains
the INDYCAR.EXE file.
1) Saving your current setups, replays and saved races
You should first save away any settings files, replays and saved
races before applying this patch. You can use the batch file SAVEALL to save
your settings, replays and saved races. You use SAVEALL like this:
SAVEALL directory
where directory is an empty directory that you create that will hold the
saved information.
For Example: From your C: prompt type
MD ICR2SAVE <ENTER>
CD \ICR2 <ENTER>
SAVEALL C:\ICR2SAVE <ENTER>
This will save all of your personal configurations to the C:\ICR2SAVE
directory.
2) Reinstall IndyCar Racing II
Remove IndyCar Racing II from your computer. If you installed using the
Windows 95-based installer, you should use the Add/Remove Programs control
panel in Windows 95 to uninstall IndyCar Racing II. Otherwise, just delete
your IndyCar Racing II directory from your hard drive.
NOTE: Deleting your IndyCar Racing II directory will delete the patch and
its batch files. Make sure you have saved away PATCHICR.ZIP to another
directory before deleting your IndyCar Racing II directory.
After you have removed IndyCar Racing II, reinstall it from the CD-ROM. After
you have reinstalled IndyCar Racing II, you will need to re-unzip the patch
in the IndyCar Racing II directory.
3) Apply the patch
To apply the patch, change directory to the IndyCar Racing II directory and
run the PATCHICR batch file. If, for example, you installed IndyCar Racing II
to the \ICR2 directory on your C: drive, you would use the following
commands:
C: <ENTER>
CD \ICR2 <ENTER>
PATCHICR <ENTER>
NOTE: The PATCHICR batch file and the patch data files MUST reside in the
IndyCar Racing II directory.
4) Restore your setups, replays, and saved races.
Once you have applied the patch, you can use the batch file
RESTALL to restore the files you saved with SAVEALL. You use RESTALL like
this:
RESTALL directory
where directory is the same directory you specified to SAVEALL.

II. CHANGES FROM VERSION 1.0.1
Fixes a bug where set controls automatically detects your mouse and you are
unable to use keyboard or joystick controls, you must unload your mouse
driver in DOS. Please contact your computer manufacturer for details.
Fixes a yellow flag problem where the race order would become corrupted,
sometimes resulting in cars illegally passing one another under the yellow.
Fixes a weight transferrence bug that resulted in the driver's car
understeering after driving it. The longer it was driven, the more it would
understeer. This bug had been reported by many users as a settings bug
because it appeared that the settings were being lost.
