Put me in reserve, pls. Thx.

Premiums have priority @Geof. @K.Lang You're on the reserves list for now. In case someone signs out, you'll slot back in.

If anyone is interested for some practice before the race, I post this setup:

[Anthemius]

If anyone is interested for some practice before the race, I post this setup:

I just loaded the game and your setup and I was faster than 1.25 !!! Is it good or bad?
I know that we are not allowed to talk about lap times, in order to avoid frightening you. I hope I didn't!

 

[Vangelis Parginos]

Guys im not gonna make it, i have to work late.
Sorry if im late with the sign out but i just find out.

Have fun

 

[Eugene Abramoff]

Is anyone going to stream this?

 

[Norman Bruce]

I was taken out on lap 1 deliberately, a case of mistaken identity. It was not me that ran you on to the grass in turn 1 it was the other #23 car.

Might be worth a report Norman. If it was deliberate, that is a golden rule violation.

 

[BioForce]

I was the other 23 (in race2) I guess. Was taken out 2 times from behind. Don´t know who bumped me but if someone has replays I´ll check

 

[Marco Waechter]

Chain reaction in race2. Got a touch in t1 (because of other two cars battling and losing control maybe) and went off. Went back quite safely and got hit later at turn2 and spun in the middle of the track.. . But this was just for some testing and fun. First time racing online after a long long time (had been only hotlapping in single player modes recently). So it has not being a problem for me.
(Race 1 was better -P8- with a better setup for the track in race conditions, tried s.th. is race 2 which wasn't as good.)

Performance was ok, no freezes or whatsoever. I found out, that those graphic freezes only happen in hotlap mode. In practice mode the freezes are not there. Strange.., will report that on the official forum.

If anyone is interested: Here's the Replay of race 2

Are you running any unofficial app when hotlapping?
It happened to me before too, and I found out that the problem was a Rivali app, that continuosly was writing the log file, causing random freezes and creating monster log files of several gigabytes .

 

[Marco Waechter]

No (apps can be all off-, still the same thing), but a few minutes ago I found out ' freezes are there in practice mode as well when I run the CPU at its stock 3,2 GHZ (instead of 3,5 GHZ). So ' not only in hotlap mode.

In MP the CPU usage is 20-30 % higher, but the game is without freezes then, how goes that together from a logical point of view ?
It's there since v1.5 or v1.6, previously there wasn't such a problem.

However, PCs and Software are complex.., so those sh.te can happen (& you could search for ever and ever not getting wiser at it).
