VWSR S3: Virtual World Series by Renault (F3.5)

[Martin Bulgin]

In the anouncement thread Marco you have linked to the new mod and tracks but not Poznan v1.0, when I try and install it says I need this track, cant find v1.0 on RD but I found it elsewhere by googling.

I joined the server everything seems ok

 

[Simon Christmann]

Here. Link to Poznan 1.0

 

[Andrew Ford]

I support option 1 but no points for the "test race".
We are ready for Bahrain and it would be nice to have a race there anyway.
So its just a consolation race, official practice and helps us all test and use our previous preparation to good purpose.
I think that its a track that will give good close racing and close the field up a bit so it would be a shame to drop it.

I also suggest that since we are all primed for Bahrain that the very next official race as well should be Bahrain. Simply move the calendar along one and run Bahrain in April then Poznan and so on. We have a tba track so it gets filled in that way. Or if its to be Nurburgring we vote on which to drop. We have prepped for Bahrain but not other tracks.

The underlined bit is what I was suggesting on teamspeqk but may not have come across well. It just means we would save time practising again as the track would be fresh. The standard would also be higher and closer racing.

Edit..sorry, just read above two posts.

Added the link to the post. THanks, still had to do that. Was a bit busy .

 

[David Jundt]

Well, I'd love to do the test, but I can't, other committments in the way.

 

[David Jundt]

I am wondering I should download some other skins to test if my own skin isn't correct(I guess Robert wouldn't like to hear that) or if my installs just don't recognize skins at all.

Should I always create a skin folder via the create button in the game or can I do it manually(fr35_car->FR35_18 for example)?

 

[April Dillon]

You can do it manually, that will work. But be warned, it requires perfect spelling Which is why the button's there in the first place, I guess.

 

[April Dillon]

I assume the test will occur in the VWSR3.5's typical time slot? IE a Sunday evening?

 

[Marco Bijl]

I would propose the following steps for you if you want to test that:

- Open Internet Explorer
- Go to Racedepartment.com, to download some skins
- Open your windows explorer
- Go to the DATA folder of your install, and browse into:
\Userdate\{profilename}\Settings\
- Open the rfactor2 game
- Select All Cars and Tracks
- Select the car class you downloaded the skins for
- click on Tuning (Middle bottom of the screen)
- Click on the Create folder button
- Switch to your explorer. Note that the game made a subfolder here with the class name
- Enter that class folder
- Note that there is a folder now with the corresponding car number you had open in the game
- Place the skin here. Make sure it has the ALT word in the filename, and that you do not have a .zip file by accident
- Go back to the game
- Click the reload button
- Now click on the arrow next to the skinname in the right bottom.
- The skin you just placed in the created folder should be selected now.

I might have missed a step, as I made this list from my head and have not checked it in the game. If you still have issues, let me know. I will send you a working and tested skin so you can eliminate that as a possible cause.

 

[Marco Bijl]

Yes correct. It will be a little shorter then normal, as we are doing a single race instead of a double.

1 race, 45 minutes. Start times will be the same.

I will make a post of it today, or tomorrow the latest with all details in it.

 

[Marco Bijl]

Ok, new build is released, and, 2 impotant updates in it:

Fix for issue where a vehicle is constantly loaded/unloaded in multiplayer when they have a special skin
Fixed join button greyed out issue

So, I will be updating the server later tonight to the new build. I will also make a post for the upcoming event for sunday.
Although the number of votes is a bit disapointing, there is a clear winner .

If you find any issues with the updated software, please alert me asap. Tag me, send a PM or whatever, but I need to know if you find errors or potential problems, so we can address them appropriately.

Thanks.

 

[Martin Bulgin]

I'm downloading it now, hopefully HDR is fixed for multi gpu setups.

 

[Marco Bijl]

Server updated to new build!

Mind to update your game as well to the newly released build. The password for the server has changed as well, get it here.

 

[Marco Bijl]

@April Dillon
I removed the ban again from the server as well. Can you see if it all works for you now as well please? I want to make sure you have no issues when you come in again

 

[Marco Bijl]

I'm downloading it now, hopefully HDR is fixed for multi gpu setups.

If this is it:
Fixed bug with HDR lum histogram when in SLI mode

Then it should be fixed .

 

[April Dillon]

Just finalizing my 590 installation, will test in a few minutes

 

[April Dillon]

No luck, I'm afraid. I'm getting "connection failed" messages when I try to connect.

I am able to connect to other servers. I'm also aware of the password change.

Does the problem exist even after several reboots? Very strange. I had the issues with entering the password wrong once and then being not able to join until the next reboot.

 

[April Dillon]

I forgot about the reboot thing-- After that, no problems, I'm in and all looks good

It's not fully fixed on a 3 card setup, I posted on the ISI forum they said they dont have a 3 card test bed but the Dev's will be in touch with me, perhaps they want me to do some testing.

Just checked my email and they said "
The dev said he will be able to tackle this in a couple of weeks. Can I ask you to stick around and we'll have you test an unstable build soon?
Thanks!"
