Ummm, what if your box went in the garbage long ago? I don't keep game boxes?

My point exactly - I read all this thread hoping to find out!

I have only the disc and number (and my online log-in details).

Guess I'll just continue using the GTL mod for GTR2.

I'm sure you can just photograph your DVD or whatever you have! Try it!?

Well, since I own a copy of GTL from when it originally came out I thought I'd have a go at getting the replacement version.

Got the cheat to circumvent the silly unlocking dance and found that if installed to program files x86 the forcefeedback sucks, much better if installed to any other directory. Run as admin of course.

These days I can run it with all bells and whistles at max graphical detail and of course dx9 is not dx11 but the graphics I feel are more honest than anything I've seen in newer titles like NFS, especially considering that the tracks in NFS Shift and Shift 2 have been tarted up with fantasy trackside objects because the real tracks weren't pretty enough.

When I look closely at the graphics in for example NFS Shift 2, I see some areas where the graphics to my eyes are horrible because all the attention has been dedicated on making the car look very shiny, and a few loud glimmerati effects in the close vicinity of the car.

Physics are imo way better than even the latest NFS shift effort.

I probably still prefer Power & Glory for GTR2 over this. The P&G mod group have spent an amount of time, research and energy on getting their creation as accurate as possible, to a degree that a commercial venture can rarely afford to do.

I just did it last night. I don't have the box anymore, of course, but I had the manual and the jewel case with the CDs and the SF and MP codes on it. I took a pic of those with my RR name and the date on it, created a trouble ticket, and sent the pic as an attachment.
It must have been no more than 2 hrs till I got an email with an activation code and another with a link to let me DL the 2.5GB installer, no money paid. I have yet to install it (tonight if I can) but I must say I enjoyed playing GTL SP more than any of the other simbin titles I've owned. Individual races and all are fine no matter which one, but I found the "cup" races in GTL more engaging (although the "race a crappy car against a field of better cars" didn't appeal to me because there's inevitably a track where your car is too slow for the straights and the corners don't let you make it up).

Glad I did read this topic now. I had submitted a ticket yesterday and didn't hear back from them.
But I missed the part about the codes that had to be in the picture. I thought it would be to easy to get many copies with just a picture fom the DVD box. duh

If they want to pretend to be all cool digital distribution, they really need to upgrade their servers.


Has anyone downloaded the digital version of GTL lately from SimBin?

I bought the digital download last night. Since I also saw that the file size is stated at 2.5GB I decided to download the game on our iMac at the lab (we are an mac-only lab) and take the file home to install on my PC. However, the file that downloads is 955.7MB and named 'gt_legends_installer.zip'

Is this the correct download? confused seems odd...oh well, I will take this file home and unzip it on my PC and see what happens (i hope we get multiple downloads with our activation code?)
