Championship Standings

Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see
cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules especially the
rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Race Room Racing Experience from Steam, and have the Euro and American Track Packs for this series (And maybe another
non pack track occasionally)
(4) Please exercise caution when pitting as some tracks have a speed limit.

(5) Please follow the SROUK guidelines for using kerbs etc. Please keep 2 wheels on the track surface (kerbs do not count as track surface)
Excessive cutting of corners will seen as cheating and the results may be altered to reflect this.

The game got a 2.2mb update yesterday. https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/05-04-2017-raceroom-has-been-updated.7659/ New content, new features and unfortunately a new problem. Signing in to a passworded server, always results in the PW not being accepted, even if you do get it right. https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/multiplayer-password-issue-missing-m6-liveries.7664/

Just incase no one knows, not even looked at our server yet.

I had a case of this yesterday with another league and made for some interesting racing with non members....  Hopefully they fix this fairly soon.  I should be able to attend, Sonoma is a great track lots of tricky elevation changes, KTM not my fav but happy to join tonight regardless.

[spanner]

I read it that the hotfix fixed that!

[phspok]

I can't connect to the server. or I sort of can, but get a black screen or it times out

[weatherman45]

to resolve the issue with the other league I raced in yesterday they just started their server without a password (not ideal) but seemed to load correctly.  However, I'm seeing lock icons on multiplayer server rooms right now, so might have fixed it ?

Hotfix released, to cover the issues above. https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/06-04-2017-raceroom-has-been-updated-hotfix.7678/

Unfortunately, I can't see the server atm.

[phspok]

I can't connect to the server to start it. I have set up a server on my home lab PHSPOKM2
but even though I have opened all the ports it wants it doesnt respond

EDIT: I have managed to log on to the server and start it, the desktop is very chuggy, not sure how the game server will run
but it's up now.

[weatherman45]

I'm in and seems to be running fine.

[phspok]

Server is hung again, I can log in then the screen freezes.
No results file (again) I can't check the ftp settings, please don't restart the R3E
server untill I can try to get a results file.

That was Carls race from very early on. We had, what looks like a close race. We both waited for one another, a couple of times, though.

Pete discoed from the grid, leaving just 4 of us. Got my usual start, Carl didn't get my start, only to see Mark come by with a better start. I pinched Carl (sorry sir) because I gave Mark too much room. Knowing this, I was going to give Carl the place, at the first opportunity. I saw him going for the inside into turn 7, gave him lots of room but he didn't go through. Eventually he did drive off but I'd given up third too, as Martin came past. Mark had quite a lead because of this, though he was just about to give it all (and more) back, with an off at the Esses.

Once I'd past Martin again, I set about trying to get on Carls tail. Martin then Mark left us to 22+ mins of just the two of us. Could've been mighty lonely, had Carl not waited for me, after my first off (don't grab 5th before turn 3). I still did it again later... bottom.

Grats Carl, gentlemanly to a fault. Sorry the others didn't have quite the same fun.

Been having lots of bad starts in last week or so, clutch issues I suppose, the bite point bewilders me now ?  Need to disassemble and clean my pedals, tune up long over due.  All the blind up hill corners are such a challenge here, kind of unforgiving, but fun for me.  Thanks for the gentleman's race Eck !  I saw others dropping out, and wanted keep things close, you had similar pace and was on me in several corners I knew you were faster through.  I made lots of mistakes, but still a fun race none the less.  Shame whatever happened to Pete at the start, lost connection or something his qualifying was quite good if I remember.

Server's working fine for me this morning but I can't find a results file I've not touched the RRE server.

Pete discoed from the grid

No idea what happened as TeamSpeak was happy. Just sat there on the grid waiting for Carl to join, I could see the car behind but Eck comes on TS to say I'd disconnected. At least it happened at the start I suppose rather than near the end.

GamingDeluxe announcements show there were network issues early yesterday evening. Guess I suffered because of that, also explains why the server is happy this morning.

[phspok]

I logged on this morning as well. I have left the server running for the moment, It doesn't seem to want to
export a results file, but I'll have play later.
