I put it on UKGPL_3

Wich version of the ATI driver did you install?
I hope not this latest "Omega"...
I recommend 14.4 as the last good driver for OpenGL Wink


Try these settings

Strange thing is, that the server runs fine on multiple occasions all over the week,
but on Tuesdays nights there are sometimes gremlins.
It was the first time I saw it disappear from the racelist, but still running Shocked

Clive I do understand that your PC cannot run Spa67 well, but other tracks should be not such a big load.
Maybe some tweaks in CCC and GEM+ for the graphics should make it driveable with 60fps.
Wich version of the ATI Catalyst is installed? What seems strange is that the GPU runs full speed in the HWINFO pic!
My HD5670 runs best with Catalyst 14.4
2839  UKGPL / UKGPL Races / UKGPL Season 28 (2015) - 69 Extra Trophy - Kyalami - Mar 15 on: March 10, 2015, 02:55:04 PM +0000
Season 28 – 69 Extra Trophy - Kyalami 67

For the first round of this series we move to the southern hemisphere & a Papyrus original track at Kyalami.
I’m sure most of you will have heard this before – UKGPL run the version with the metal Armco along the pitwall.
This makes the pit entry very tricky. Drivers without the pitwall will be DQed!

69X use the 60fpsV1 patch.

The race will be run under INT rules and you have a free car choice.
You can do 1 shift+r with a consecutive stop and go in the pits !

Handicapping
Drivers will have a free car choice
BUT
For the Light drivers: Each car can be driven only once in this season!

Driver lists and explicit rules can be found on the championship page


Race List =   IGOR
Server = UKGPL_8
IP Address = look at IGOR
Race date = 15-03-2015
Qualification Time   = ~20:45  UK time -> 45min
Race Time = race starts at 21:30 UK time
Track = Kyalami - Papy[/ftp]
Variant = 69X
Damage Model = INT
Race length = ~50 min -> 38 laps
Replay = you will get here

The red zone will be fully moderated for lap 1 only. For this event the red zone will be from the start to the exit of Sunset Bend on the first lap. Other moderation will be on reported incidents only.  However any incidents that occur in the red zone that are not reported by the drivers will be reported by the moderator.

Please restrict chat to emergency messages only including at the end of the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line.

The full time drivers can start to practice as soon as the server is available.  Reserve drivers can also join as soon as the server becomes available but must leave the server with 30 minutes of qualifying left, for a total of 5 minutes; this will allow any remaining full timers to join.  If there is enough space on the grid, the reserve drivers will be able to rejoin when there are 25 mins of qualifying left.

Check the “Disable All Enhancements” checkbox!

Yes this is a possible cause for stutters,
as W7 does not use the hardware acceleration of sound devices anymore, all is done now by software via the CPU Roll Eyes

Good old XP had a way better sound engine, but W7 made the cheapest sound chip working by massively reducing sound quality.

W8.1 and 10 go back a step with the re installation of hardware acceleration...

The answer to my mail about the IGOR disconnect:

apologies. 
a dump truck apparently ran over the transformer box in our neighborhood. power was out for about six hours.  i'd recently replaced the uninterruptible power supply, but it only holds the system up for about twenty minutes - not hours.

I think it should be OK now.

Yes, the Spa67 track is way more challenging - I love it!

If you got the groove after some practice, this is much more fun to drive than the Papy...

I will drive the Honda for the whole season, to learn how to keep a 67 car alive, as in S27 Works I did not finish a single race. Roll Eyes

The upcoming tracks will be more challenging to me and give the more experienced drivers a good chance to beat me  Smiley

I still can't understand that some drivers start an event without having practiced before...
2843  UKGPL / UKGPL Races / UKGPL Season 28 (2015) Friday Trophy - Hockenheim - Mar 13 on: March 09, 2015, 11:27:17 AM +0000
S28 - Friday Mixed Trophy - Round 2 - CanAM 71- Hockenheim 67

The next round of the S28 Friday Mixed Trophy finds us back at Hockenheim.
Using the 1967 layout the track has some long fast straights through the forest and a tricky, twisty stadium section.

If you have not yet installed the track: install "hockenheim.zip" and add Thomas Laechele's high or lowres version!

This first race is free of handicaps,
but remember: for the LIGHT drivers the most popular car will be dropped for the rest of the season!

ONE reset is allowed but the Shift R must be followed by a Stop & Go in the pit lane within TWO laps.
If you Reset on the last lap a 30 second time penalty will be awarded if you cannot s+g before the finish line in the pit lane.

Drivers must complete 50% of the race distance to score.
Please check the Season 28 pages for details regarding rules and the Friday Trophy pages in particular.

Race List =  IGOR
Server = UKGPL_8
IP Address = look at IGOR
Race date = 13-03-2015
GPL mod = CANM71
60fps patch used = 60fpsV2newmod

So is the Works server replay cap lost, Axel?  The link posted above takes us to the Privateers race.
Link corrected  Wink

Only the Privs server replay is lost, but it is substituted by my Pc's replay
2845  UKGPL / UKGPL Races / Re: UKGPL Season 28 (2015) Works Trophy (67) - Spa - Mar 8 on: March 08, 2015, 11:02:32 PM +0000
If you were unable to join the server tonight apologies, there may have been some settings overlooked in the configuration (like the bandwidth). iGOR's racelist going down did not help the preparation!

Same here Jethro, I am a totally newbie hosting this way,
so I did save the replay of my racing PC what avoided a bigger desaster as the server was frozen after the race...

As long as IGOR racelist is down you can join via IP to UKGPL_8 !

IP = 95.114.59.201


Practice will start at 20:45 UK-time, see you in IGOR chatroom

Bernie,
I do agree with Martin, that a FOV of 78° is the only correct way to see the GPL world as it is intended, on a 4:3 monitor!

Our dispute is about the use of a 16:9 monitor, wich would deform this world if you use the same 78° FOV.

Afair you use a 32" TV - monitor, so the size should not matter...

IMO
With the use of any other than 92° FOV with a 16:9 monitor, your GPL world will be deformed

PS
I learned that FOV 92° is correct after a research in the net and use it.
2850  UKGPL / UKGPL Races / Re: UKGPL Season 28 (2015) - Willow Springs - Mar 1 on: March 06, 2015, 01:54:32 PM +0000
Comparing Pic1 to Pic3 perspective: this is definitely not the same! So you are WRONG!

94° in 16:9 squeezes nothing! Compare 1 + 2... You can put P1 over P2 and nothing changes.

Of course our monitors are 2D yet...

END of discussion!

If you want it mathematical correct, just read here: https://www.quaddicted.com/engines/adjusting_fov_for_widescreen

Using this formula you will get FOV 92,092° for a 16:9 (based on 78° for 4:3)
Quote
Adjusting FOV for Widescreen

By default Quake uses a FOV (field of view) of 90. You can set a higher FOV to distort your view to see more to the sides of the screen. Setting a higher FOV also means that the center of the screen will be "zoomed away".

If you are using a widescreen resolution to play Quake and keep the FOV of 90, you will actually play with a zoomed-in view instead of a realistic one. Widescreen means you should be able to see the same stuff like before but with additional space on the sides.
