Mmm hoped the transit to the new lobby would solve it Tony. Too bad it doesn't seem the remedy. Is it possible to ask people to stay connected during the race, even if they are not continuing? Once again i get a frozen screen when someone leaves during the race. This time i was nicely in third when Hristo left and i was out too, a bit like last week at Istanbul. It is getting a bit annoying and it seems avoidable to me. Or should it be something to do with my pc? Well it was fun while it lasted.  Edit: well it seems we had random disco's, so sorry to Hristo who had a disco from the lead, when i thought you just left the game. Congrats to John. Great return! This problem of yours has got me stumped. I have no idea why that happens. Can anyone offer some advice here? I don't think that we can ask folk to stay on once they have crashed. They may stay to watch the race but if not they probably want to use the PC for other stuff. You didn't have a problem when Ivan left did you? So it's only when someone else has a disco, like Hristo. |

Hi ..... quote(It looks like Roger was problematic. I noticed you were getting track miss-match messages and also your times were always at the bottom of the listings in my XD even though they were faster than some others. I will remind all drivers that it is important that you download your track from this site to ensure that we are all running the same track version.) A BIG sorry if i was the problem, BUT i downloaded track and cars from your links Tony. Thanks for the race and grats to podium.

We are all getting fed up with disco's not only in GTL but also in P&G.
Matt has been running some races on a spare home PC and I'm going to look into doing this as well. You guys will still connect via the lobby, in fact you shouldn't notice anything different. But hopefully it may rid us of this disco fever (sorry, couldn't resist that).
I'll try and sort something out for next weeks race but my free time is limited this week so no promises. I'll post over at next weeks race thread on any developments.
In the meantime I really need you guys to keep the faith and help me test stuff. I can't do this on my own guys. Another grid like last night will be perfect for testing my home rig and broadband suitability. Our usual server will be running anyway so we can always fall back to that if required.

I'm sure you did Roger but you were definately the cause, albeit inadvertantly, of the results problem last night. These things happen and maybe I should have posted online last night when I saw the miss-match messages. But often these sort themselves out come race time and the messages disapear. Did you race? The replay doesn't show you on the grid. |

On the first lap you were showing up as being in 1st and after that you went into last place, however the time gap showed you should have been in 6th or there abouts. We are all getting fed up with disco's not only in GTL but also in P&G.
Matt has been running some races on a spare home PC and I'm going to look into doing this as well. You guys will still connect via the lobby, in fact you shouldn't notice anything different. But hopefully it may rid us of this disco fever (sorry, couldn't resist that).

The disco problem seems only to affect certain people. Are you all running with the same ISP? I have had no problems other than once, however that was a local issue my homeplug somehow lost connection but our wifi was fine. |

Well there was a terrible mismatch between the pit lap boards and Xd with as rogers states, he was shown as + not minus. Each time I passed the pit board Roger was shown falling back but then I noticed after part on a lap he suddenly jumped to a lower + time. He surprised me when he first caught up with me and passed me then he spun. On the 20th lap he tried to pass me into one of the chicanes and put me into the barrier breaking my suspension. So yes at the end there were only 4 cars running as I was out and shown on my position screen as disqualified.   Hope that helps Tony.  |

I'm certain that that's the last thing any of us want. The confusion isn't down to anything you've done, it's just one of those Internet sim-racing gremlin type things. Please re-consider. |
