How to switch from Simbin to Altbierbude lobby

[Knut Omdal Tveito]

Here is some instructions for how to switch lobby in GT Legends. I suggest trying the instructions for Digital version first, as this one has been tested and works both for Digital and DVD version

New digital version of GT Legends
Switch from Simbin to Altbierbude:

1. Write down your current Username and Password for the Simbin lobby for future reference. If you don't remember it you can find it in Userdata\"Name"\Name.PLR (just search for password in the file)
2. Move the "LOCAL_IP_LOBBY.txt" away from the main GTL directory and keep it somewhere safe. Also move backup files of LOCAL_IP_LOBBY.txt if you have any.
3. Launch GTL
4. Go to Multiplayer->Internet and click Register. Select a different Username and Password than your old one. Click the arrow (not login button) to register. If you don't get "Registration Successful" at first, try a few different usernames/passwords.
5. When you have registered successfully, you will be taken to the login screen. It will still show your old Simbin Username so you first have to replace it with your new Username and Password. If you login successfully you should then log into the Altbierbude lobby.
6. If it didn't work, try to register with a new username

Switching back to Simbin:

1. Move the file "LOCAL_IP_LOBBY.txt" back to the GTL main directory
2. Launch GTL
3. Go to Multiplayer->Internet and login with your old Simbin Username and Password

Be nice if all could go to the simbin lobby now that its up again so the confusion goes away.

 

[Tim Ling]

Randy Chamberlin we are mate, it's just that some of us seem to be having DNS issues, so we use the IP address for the Simbin lobby

It's a known "feature" of GTL. If you don't have the tracks that the servers are running, they will show a name of a different track you do have.

Anyway, if there is no RD server, you're in the wrong lobby.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

i assume you must be seeing the altbierbude lobby..
if you cant see the RD server..
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/115891207/New folder.rar
drop the LOCAL_IP_LOBBY.TXT in your main gtl folder where the GTL.exe sits..
this should take you to the simbin lobby..
ill be on in half a hour ..i cant get on t/speak at moment sorry. need to be downstairs on other pc.
delete all other LOCAL_IP_LOBBY.TXT if you have any inside the glt main folder

 

[Caramidaru Andrei Bogdan]

working,now i want to see if i cause any trouble to anyone.
i had moved the gtl out of steam,fresh install,run under xp sp 3 and administrator , dx 9 and all .plr stuff..i think.hope all ok
thank you, i will be back in about 1hour or so

I'm at work and just came across this thread. GTL would not let me into the default multiplayer lobby with various UN & PW combos. Not until I input the key code as PW with diff UN was U let in. Maybe the issue was the UN. Hopefully. Was wondering how the aforementioned steps would work if CD key is used as PW and if it's randomly generated. Hope my plea makes sense. Will try this eve.

I didn't want to start a whole new thread so i will just ask here. Seeing that there is no more GTL races here i was wondering if any of you guys are racing at someplace else on the days when not racing with HistorX?

If so, i wouldn't mind knowing where because i would still like to get some racing in with GTL when i have time
