Next Fridays [02.05.] Update speculation thread

[Ralf Ääro]

No speculation thread. Whats up here?

My speculation is, we might get some sort of MP. Would be bad for me, because I am at a real racetrack that Weekend and can not try that out.

And on top of that, I think we get more damage.

PS: is there a lotus left, we might get?

What "ping" stands for?

 

[Jonathan Gould]

You normally only need to open ports if you are hosting a server as these will be "inbound" requests. As most of us are clients "outbound" requests are permitted by default on most if not all routers and Windows PC's

 

[Jan-Olov Johansson]

What "ping" stands for?

In short: The respons time from between you and the server, how long it takes for a datapacket to go from you computer to the server and back again.

Yes, I should have been clearer on that as it's for hosting purposes I asked about it but seems to have been misunderstood by some...

Thank you for your response,
so is important that I choose the server with the less ping to have less lag in game?

Yup!

Hi Jan, I too would be interested in this. I am hoping port numbers would be specified in a config file (.xml or something) with the release of the dedicated server tool.

Yes, lower number, less risk of anoying lag

Hello, yes since we have so little info yet about mp and even less of how to set up hosting, but I assume it will be possible for anyone to setup a server and then we will need that info.

I'm sure we will find out soon, sure will be interesting to poke around in tonights update...

 

[Paul McCluskey]

There is a lan icon so private servers should be good too go or in another update which hope not. But no mention of hosting a room in those instructions

 

[Patrick Panton]

Is it certain that we will be able to put up dedicated servers ourselves in this update?, I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere, maybe it will just be the official servers for now.

oppps beaten to it by paul lol

If we cant host a room..I fear booking a slot is going to be akin to getting 1D tickets (for our daughters) when they go on sale

 

[Lars Koldeweij]

It was announced on twitter that dedicated servers will be possible too.

What's a 1D ticket?

@KunosStefano Assuming (I know) that MP works today, will we be able to host own lobby?

@KunosStefano Ciao, when, if ever, you think the MP will be released today? Just to avoid looking for news every 5 minutes :-P

@MaBo974 Probably later than usual. Still lots of testing a fixing going on right now.

Well, that might just save our skin for these club races in the coming days
Logically we should be able to password protect them to prevent unauthorized access, but who knows at this point. *Fingers crossed*.
