Noticed a lot of people are having the same problem. I've been running the Europe free trial for the past couple of days and everything has been fine untill the update. I realise a lot of other people have had similar problems, but I'm another in slightly different conditions, so thought I'd put it out there.

I'm using windows XP and am recieving the following message with the euUK trial version:

I'm using adminastrative rights, I've tried it in safe mode with networking, but that didn't work. I tried unchecking "read only" but that didn't work either. What's funny is that the US trial worked all the way up to the point where you download your race and it crashed.

Any info would be apprciated, kind of dissapointing to be offered "10 days" to play the game, and not only miss out on time but have the whole trial messed up because of it. Even if you don't have a solution, insight into what might be going on is more than welcome.

Its because the patch your trying to apply isnt for the version of the game youve got.
Which means one of two things.

The patch youve downloaded is out of date.
Theyve not got around to making a patch to update the Trial client yet

The US version seemed to patch fine from what I tried... Well that's BS, way to treat your potential customers. Saw the advert on TV the other night, thought I'd give it a try and after arranging time to spend with the game this week, I can't. Would have been much happier if it said "almost 10 day trial but don't count on reliability." It's sad but it almost makes me not want to buy the game, simply for the mear fact that both my real and virtual time has been wasted and didn't live up to what's advertised, two days in! I'm more than patient to wait for a fix but damn, what a first impression...
