Wow - this race sounds like a lorra lorra laffs

I bought a new switch/hub thingy and after some testing it does seem better with the multiplayer games I've tried so far. FIngers crossed, eh?!

If I have another disco its XP time. Then Fibre Optic time which takes 3 weeks to activate

Bara, were you having all of those connection problems while plugged directly into your modem?


Or were you using a Gateway modem? (Modem/Router combo)



None of you are true Sim Racing Gamers unless you race this one with a leather cap, pilot goggles, white wool scarf and a giant fan blowing in your face.

(Seriously, you put a mustache on that guy and he IS Dick Dastardly.)

But Dick was a bit more fair for sometimes

My house is on 3 floors - the phoneline comes in on the top floor (my office) and into the modem/router up there, then a lead goes down to the middle floor where I have the now new 5 port switch. This then splits it out to my game PC and into the bedroom for my laptop and my GF's laptop - and a spare for the PS3 but I usually run that wireless if I ever need it online.

I'm pretty sure its all plugged in right (its the way it always was when it was stable at least!). There is a WAN port on the new switch but I have just plugged all of them into the other 4 ports. Should I be using the WAN for the line that goes upstairs?

Thanks for your help

Not sure this'll help reliability Bara but I'm just in the process of switching everything in the pad to run over these babies...

Might be of some use if like me you live in a spaghetti junction of ethernet cable!

Hello to all members. It's been a while since my last race here. I might have the time to join you tonight. However, I have seen that turnout was very good in the last race, and I don't know what is the server capacity. I don't want to take the place of some of the regular drivers.

[psuedo]

Server capacity for tonight is 30 cars.

It is normally a little higher (36) but this track only has 30 grid places.

You are welcome to join in...pretty sure there will be room for you.

I'm sure we will not be that close to the 30 limit Davor so please join us. You will need skin pack, updated track and remember to be slower than us gents as well 

Also you, and all, will need this fix http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=4181 It stops the Mercs exploding all over the track and its been checked (ta Pseudo) for nasties. Remember, mismatches will not be allowed.   

[Wiltshire Tony]

I don't think everyone needs the fix, just the server?
That's what the readme says

Gutted  A great race with PR for fifth brought to an end by a CTD and what looks like a overheating gpu. O well I think everyone has suffered a dnf through no fault of their own now.

Really enjoyed the street circuit feel of that, hats off to all that finished. A real test Wouldn't like it every week though

Not quite sure what happened there!!... game shuddered to a halt, froze, no lost connection.. got back to the pits to see little people stuck in my speedo and all you lot driving round with advertising hoardings stuck to your cars ...most odd!!

Me too, bad acid?  Overheating gpu/cpu I think?

[Geoffers]

Well what started out as a good fun race turned into a nightmare for me. I comitted the unforgiveable sin of taking out the leader while being lapped. I can't apologise enough Dan.

Also apologies to Bill who I ran into earlier in the race, very sorry Bill.

Felt so bad about these incidents I couldn't concentrate & quit the race.


I'm a total idiot.

[Wiltshire Tony]

and I hit someone who had parked in the middle of the track round a corner. Smacked 'em a good un then race over. Night all.
