PC1 Will Project Cars have dedicated servers?

[Ivo Simons]

Its there any info when MP gets implemented?

 

[Stefan Mizzi]

Nothing much to add Nathan, I have the same opinion like you said above. All I'm playing at the moment is pCars as I'm enjoying it too much

Yeah, it would be great to organize something, until then, hope to see ye online!

Cheers

NOTE: All my graphics settings are on low otherwise I get crappy fps with 3 monitors and my wimpy little 6950. It still doesnt look half bad for low settings, but I just wanted people to know that this isnt the full direct x 11 maxed out graphics experience

Not bad for low settings.

For those who have not heard, multiplayer is now available for Team Members.

If you want to race with the latest tire model, make sure you start the exe with -seta.

PS: take it easy on the first lap

Have fun!

How long before they sort out the collision problems? Heard that if you make car contact you will go flying into space.

Yes, that is correct. In fact, that's the only thing which is bothering me now. Not sure when it will be fixed, but I hope soon.

I'm sure SMS is giving it priority, I'll check on the forum.

You make is sound like any contact will result in cars flying into space and this is simply not true. It happens, but not all the time.

Since SMS implemented the newest version of PhysiX it has become much much better. No more takeoff after contact.

 

[Stefan Mizzi]

Yeah, agree, contact has been improved but still, if you have a slight contact 90% of the times you're gonna be thrown out from the track........

MP is still fun, but first lap is a nightmare unless you are racing with experienced drivers.

If they would make MP available for normal members as well we could open a racing club and avoid the pointless T1 crashing.

But of course people first need to upgrade to team membership because of "load" issues. Would like to give a new definition to the word load by my lawyer said: better not.

Hope this alpha, beta, zeta stuff is over soon so we can enjoy a normal game without the marketing. Game looks great and I am happy that the physics are now also improving and I am tempted to see it in action here at the RD Racing Club but the fact that people are forced to upgrade puts me off again.

When will MP be available for all members?

What do you mean Nvidia Physx or car Physics?

Sessions are still open to anyone, no password protection, so I guess it wont be feasible until they implement that.

The BWM Z4 is totally awesome (with -seta and updated FFB xml) IMHO, I can't stop racing with it. There are a few others too which feel great...yet some others are not drive-able to me.

There is no mention when it's available to all, but I guess it wont be for a while until many things are ready. Team member is not even the full price of the game, I think it's worth it how things are moving.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Can you explain me then why team members don't find it a problem that "many things are not ready" but junior members need to be kept away from it?

If its a technical issue wouldnt the data you get from a massive multiplayer test with all usergroups be much better? Also if all junior members decide to upgrade to at least team member will the "technical and load issues" be gone all of a sudden?

Very good point Bram. They said there is no agenda behind this except the "load" you mentioned, but I guess only them and God know why...

SMS did it that way because it was more efficient to find bugs and do troubleshooting.

The more they could stablize the MP, the more it was opened for a bigger range of people.

IMHO that's a simple and logical process for QA and there are a lot of software developpers out there the work after the same schema.

The only reason is to force the juniors to upgrade, nothing more nothing less.

You guys make me laugh. And how do you know that? Do you work at SMS and have inside information? I'm not saying otherwise, but this attitude of "knowing" with certainty what's going as if you have a genie does itch me a bit.

You might be right or wrong, but I find it unfair to make such statements without absolute proof.

Ive been popping my head in and out and checking the MP experience there are still a few major issues that need to be addressed if it is to work ; collisions ; they are still all over the place , especially on the start line . Dead cars , if someone leaves or a connection is dropped the car stays there like a new chicane and is in that position until the race ends or it is hit out the way; which is a royal PITA ....; the cut track messages when your in the middle of the track are quite amusing aswell

Other than that its still pretty , the tyre model needs fixing/finishing but there are signs of improvement (personally i would like a much bigger FFB mixing pallet ). and some tweaks towards a more realistic handling model , i know im not that good of a driver that i can bury my foot and get away with it 99% of the time

But all in all there are some changes that are going in a good direction.

[Alessandro Gamberini]

to me they should allow all to enter the server
junior are already limited by the monthly update and in some days it could happen to the team members
moreover if any problem they can stop the network to improve with the huge amount of collected data
in other words a top down approach
