Hello all, I have my son playing (and loving) the game on his computer which came from a starter pack that included "bones" and "drift". The game works great except it doesn't recognise drift (I assume because it needs an update). Therein lies the problem ...
Since his computer is not connected to the Internet, I'm wondering how (if) I can download an update to a memory stick and then install it on his computer?
Also, how do you know which version (or update) you're running? I've read that the CD which comes with "the package" will of course only have the most recent update at the time.
Helpfull Dad (I hope)

Hi Dawson, I'm surprised that your starter kit's disk didn't have the version that will recognize Drift, but it also doesn't surprise me! You can copy it onto a disk from another computer (not sure how much room are on memory sticks, but now that the game is up to version 4.5, it's getting large). I know it will fit on a CD-R, 700 MB, because I had to load the game from a disk recently.
I'm not sure if there's someplace you can look on your computer to know the version you have, but here is the order of the updates we've received and what was new with each update:
? Funkiki Island (couldn't find the version anywhere) ? Speed Racer 2.6 Henchman game 3.0 Dream State (Nightmare Rift portal) & Chat features 3.05 Installed the Dot Spot 3.1 Daydream Oasis Portal 3.2 Exclusive Characters update (and quests, I believe) 4.0 Hidden Realm 4.5 Funkey Trunk update with Angus

You might also try calling Mattel (the number are listed in this forum) and they might send you a disk.
I was thinking about this & think they would have to offer an alternative way to get the updates. I don't think there's any requirement on the package saying that an internet connection is required.

Hi Robyn! Thanks for the response. Do you know a link where I can copy and download updates?

That's the link!
Also, Dawson, I sent you a PM about a disk I have, not sure if you saw that. But as long as you can download to another computer and then transfer it over to your son's compyter, then that's the way to go since it will be an ongoing thing with every update in the future.
I hope that works out for you.
