nkPro Fun - 26th May

[popabawa]

The 2000 is a bit too easy to drive, once you get the damn thing started!

I prefer the 1600/1800 too.

Ok - sorted. Come and create mayhem

Thanks Picnic c u there

Funnily enough I enjoyed that, 2 wins for Team Shark 

Sorry for the earlier problems, me not being able to type again. Spelt the car class wrong 

The 1800's are much more fun than the 2000's with their wings to hold everything together but I really struggled during P1 and Qual with the gear changes when we reverted to the 1800's. Come the race and it was all pretty good. Thanks for coming, hope you get the sound problems sorted SbG.

Well done to Picnic on the two wins 

Hard luck to SBG with the tech worries - I had the same problem until I put sound latency back up to 50ms.....dont know if you've changed it?
I had great fun anyway - no weirdness or warping, no bouncing cars or suspension parts, in fact I've played 2000km online so far and generally the game play is excellent.

The 1800 was a big shock to the system after the FRenault. One thing about NK is the setup - if its wrong it just doesn't stay on the track, never mind give good laptimes.
Here's what I smudged together on the spot.... think its pretty ok

Thanks for the server Picnic, and well done again.

Thanks for going the extra mile Picnic  . Enjoyed that, well the first bit anyways.

Tried that Mo, and reinstall, but nothings fixed it. I still get constant banging sound with 1800 cars whether online or offline. Oddly,  only appeared after I tried to alter set-up in 1800 after reinstall and gets louder, and faster, the lower I set up the car  . The car is also impossibly difficult to drive (massive oversteer) and am sure you must have had fun in a very different vehicle, sure it was different before patch. Totally exasperated. Am I the only one with X-Fi sound card? I know there are some issues with it and games.

Clearly not the necessary interest in Nk here, but hopefully some fun races will still take place. I enjoy it so much that might have to look for a league, just as long as they don't involve the 1800's  .

To me it sounds like maybe one wheel is stuck underneath the road surface. I get banging sometimes after fiddling with the setup on a damaged car, but it rights itself after "fixing" it. I wonder if you could launch yourself off a hill and maybe get it free?

I really enjoyed that too

Thanks to Picnic for sorting the server out and congrats on the wins.

Shame there were on 5 of us

Sorry all- forgot about a gig I'd booked a while back- annoyed to have missed this. Sounded like fun and certainly offers something different from the usual ISI based fare.

Sounds like you have a corrupted setup maybe, or something with the tyre physics has gone haywire.
Does the problem still exist if you load a different setup before starting the session?
Have you changed tyres? You've always got the same tyres even after a reboot, and even after you re-paste in the original nk install AFAIK, because the current tyre file is only created after you drive (not in the install).

Try these and let us know how it goes...
Cheers,
Mo.

Thanks for the advice chaps. I downloaded a 1800 set up from RSC, used it and problem solved. Points to corrupted set up file I guess.

Now I see why you wanted to use the 1800's. Can we do it again?

Glad to hear you've got the issue sorted.
Even though the new setup solved it I still think that its a sound latency thing that causes it in the first place.. I had all sorts of problems, including constant banging in the 1600/1800 cars, until I put the sound latency back up to 50ms. Sometimes I got the problem when starting the car too - the starter sound would continue forever.

I'm sure we can convince Picnic to come back and defend his unbroken run of wins

No chance, I'm quitting while at the top of my game 

Sure we can, I'll sort out a slot when Shark has left one free, except not this Friday as I'm out

[ginsters sponsored]

Please sir, can we have one more? Or a date when a few can make it?

Been doing a few league, and public, races and having a blast. Just a shame the games a bloody mess and I ain't to hopeful that it will ever be fixed.

[popabawa]

I'd like another crack at it too.

It does feel like it will never get fixed but there's definately another patch coming, we just don't know when... or what it will fix...
