Why is everybody skipping qualy online?

[Patrick Giranthon]

Using qualification is a risk for the moment...

 

[Ivo Simons]

Works fine. Just dont use any warm up.
Set warm up on Track Default. And your all oke.

Why everybody skip the qualifs on servers?I ran twice with qualifs enabled and there was 2 crashes... (The first race2play race and a checkpointtv race).

 

[Ivo Simons]

Dont know, works fine when we did it.
Just Q was enabled and warm up was on track default wich means no warm up. And all is going oke.

Btw

GSC crashes when I disable qualifying.
There is a bug that causes that. We are working on a solution. For now, do not disable qualifying in any type of session - single race, championship or multiplayer.

You need to ensure that the session is closed.

Ok, it seems to work (tested with only myself on the server).
But I have discovered that the qualifications have to be done with race settings... Important detail...

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

Big issue yesterday evening...
We were 17. Game crashed after the qualifs.
2 days before all was ok.
This time some players entered during the qualifs. I think there is a bug here : if people come during the qualifs, it crashes the game.
Some people have already said this on the online servers... Perhaps it is why they skip it...

You need to ensure that the session is closed.

Closed as in people can't enter during qualification

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

I have read this but I can't find where is this option on the dedicated server... How can I block newcomers?

 

[Alex Sawczuk]

It's in either the multiplayer.ini or the plr file. I can't remember which off the top of my head.

 

[Frank Alexandre da Silva]

Closed MP Qualify Sessions="1" // if true, the session will be closed during qualify, so as to not disturb the participants

Its on multiplayer.ini

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

Many thanks...

 

[Renato Simioni]

The bug causing the crashes with open qualifying and warmup in MP has been fixed and will be addressed in the upcoming patch.

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

Ok, Thank you!

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

My multiplayer.ini doesn't want to keep my "1".
It puts 0, at each new WE...
Hope the patch will come soon.
