Season 8 Race 1 Istanbul - Drivers meeting

[Jonas Lex]

Yes, that is possible, as a matter of fact the reason why those stats are missing for a few races is that you and Reik are not the only once that are lazy. But I know many like those statistics, so I will fix that tonight, as well as uploading replay to mydrive.

If nothing else the results at least are posted at PrestoGp.com for those who have not noticed

thx Nico looking forward to it

Did anybody else experience a delay in receiving the email? I think these things happens, it can be a hold-up on any server the e-mail travel through. Bob Lu. did not receive the email until later, but that was because I had forgotten to include him in the email-list, but that is taken care of now.

In such a situation one can (as Bob Lu. and Andy did):
-ask another league member
-post in the forum
-send the rd an e-mail

How did everyone experience the graphics at Istanbul? What I am thinking of is that we so often have problems with individual lag, graphic freeze etc.

The reason I mention this is that I noticed that through my practice and race and everything I never experienced any graphic problem of any sort, and I am curious if the same is the case for others?

 

[Jonas Lex]

The only thing I noticed was that all cars were suddenly standing for a second whenever someone joined the server wich Ive not experienced so far.
But that wasnt a real problem because it only happened in Practise, besides that everything was fine

 

[Reik Major]

All in all I had no graphics problems like I'm used to. I never get big freezes or stuttering, as long as my PC doesn't make any senceless things like programm updates or virus scans besides running the game.

I just remember a very small graphics issue on one or two cars. The biggest graphics issues with other cars I ever had, happend on Nurburgring (GP version and Nordschleife). That time many cars were invisible or some parts of them and sometimes I didn't see parts of my cockpit. Could it be a broblem with my PC having not enough RAM? I have 2 GB.

@Jonas: A little freeze when a car is joining is normal, because your game loads the skin then and in some cases they are much bigger than standard skins. That's why joining in qualy is a critical thing for others and therefore not gentleman like.

I use a HD4850 and 4GB RAM. I have had a few invisible cars on rare occasions. I can't remember something like that during any of our league races.
My plan is to replace the card soon and get capacity for three monitors.

To add on Reik's comment:
I think this can be adjusted in the option, if the game should load new arrivals/skins a) immediatly (causes lag)b) when you stop the car or c)when you are in garage.

I am guessing that in practice session these settings does not apply, since you say that you have not experienced this before.

Generally, no graphic issues. PC: AMD 4 core, 4 gig Ram, ATI 5870 1Gig. It is nearly always smooth apart from the normal car joining/ loading "jump".

I do see a small skip/ lag occassionally with Valerio, but otherwise I would say the overall internet lag has improved [reduced] over the years. i.e. overall it is far better now than when we first started.

At times in the past I have had the entire grid of invisible cars; never with a league race though, only the dreaded public race. Last time was Jim's Nurburgring Fun run 2011 with the open Presto server. I had to quit and watch that one.
