Btv, some medicine for these freeze?

Btv, some medicine for these freeze?

Close/exit anything that isn't needed in your taskbar. Disable autoprotect or use a silent mode for your antivirus software. I personally turn off auto updates for non important stuff.

Are you using a wireless connection to your router? if so, don't. Try to hard wire or, if like me, you can't. Use a powerline adapter to run a wired network.

 

[Nelson Ullinskey]

I am liking this new format! Put my name on that list please

EDIT: Are we racing only three days of the week now? That is too bad, but if it helps grid sizes then I'm all for it.

Also, on some occasions, starting the game, joining the server, take a few laps, exit server, quit the game and immediately start the game again (count to five so it can shut down the first instance, otherwise you get "game already running "message" from steam)... It'll give you plenty of data that is needed on that race available in caches (and prefetch etc ). Second start, load times are super fast as everything you need was loaded to RAM in the first start. This trick works on a lot of softwares, BTW.. Using DAW, video editing or similar stuff, it's usually more stable after on restart.. Sometime you can get choppy FPS on first launch, game restart will cure that too.

The first or second lap freeze is unfortunately very common, i believe it's the dedicated server side that does it, not the client.

Also shut down ALL steam autoupdates, ALL community functions, make it as silent as possible.

Thanks all, nice event
Race: after start in lap1 between turns I see a red cars blocked in middle i take but was only lag in lap 2 again in back straight a motionless black car in middle I tried to avoid but in true not too seriously I thought was again lag NO this time was solid car so I hit on side and damaged suspension forced pit repair and go on track push hard for do some nice PB and along race I understand that with more pressure may gain some position so after mandatory pit I see that some chance, was possible pushed and at the end I gain two place and If I do some calculations it's not bad

It's was Toni who had a HUGE shunt. He was following very close to my tail, did miscalculation (brainfart were his exact words), tried to take it waaay too tight and ended up in the wall on full speed. Lucky he didn't spin on the racingline, that could've been a mass extinction of cars..

 

[Reik Major]

First of all I'm very sorry I missed had to pull out close before race start. Was never supposed to have to leave home that early. Looks like you had some good fun and I would've liked to be there too.

However it looks good I'll find the time again for some Mini Friday fun - not every Friday but here and then. (Honestly I like 40 minutes race more than 80 minutes and forced pit stop allows for some tactics)

Well I hope it sends out the right information. Björn Golda and myself had the least cuts and we finished 1st and 2nd. There's a message there!

I agree. I made a just for fun vid of my pole lap, which should be a prove and maybe some are interested in the lap either way

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

Yes yes yes! aka sign me in.

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

Is it?



I only really play V8 Supercars and DTM on Race07. Must check!

In that case i am in. Probably won't make qualifying due to work, but should make the race.

It is stock Race07 content. Good track/car combo, the first turn is gonna be a hoot.

 

[David Kingshott]

Yes please some more Mini fun

 

[David Kingshott]

Sign me up please should be ok

 

[David Kingshott]

I love these cars should be good for this

Okay! Here is that race report that I promised everyone ('cause we all know a race as epic as this deserves one of these )

First, a little back ground. As some of you have seen, I joined with only 10 minutes left in practice 2. Prior to this I had no practice and did not even use an old setup. I changed the camber and set out to run some laps. Fifteen people were originally set to take place in this, but sadly Reik had to leave . Because of this, what had been a third place qualification result meant I would be starting on the front row along with Justin Swan .

When the green flag flew and the lights went out, Justin got the run into T1. I was faster than him, so I kept after him and stayed right on his tail for much of the early race. However, before we reached the first quarter of the race, things got a bit hairy going into the first 90 degree left hander. Justin went off, I slammed into the wall and dropped back to third .


After I dropped back, I was ready to climb to the front because I knew I was fast enough. Had some great racing, but eventually other cars got around me and dropped even further back . Decided to pit earlier than usual to try and get a clean track by myself to go faster, but I had some issues entering pit road . What else did not help was the fact I missed my box by a meter or two and had to back up.


After this, I was able to pass a few cars but ultimately messed up again . I was carrying too much speed into T1 and flew over the curbs. I lifted immediately, but the sudden weight transfer was bad for my Mini and I rammed the wall . This pretty much sums up why it is a really really bad idea to cut at this track even if it is unintended. Also, I am a bit surprised that those people aren't even flinching as that happened !

But that was not the end of my race! Still plenty of action left as I dropped back to fourth. With aero and suspension damage, the car was feeling weird, but it also felt stiffer so I did not have to worry about oversteer any more . Coming out of the last turn, somene hit the wall and spun wildly (I think it was David Kingshott) and Kennet was all over me for the position . Truly a wild and fun race which I proudly finished fourth. I think I could have finished on the podium if I was more consistent and might have even challenged for the win. But most importantly, I had boat loads of fun .


Had a wonderful time and I look forward to many more weeks of epic Mini racing . It turns out I can still do Mini Fridays for the rest of the summer too! Thank you very much Dennis and the rest of the RD staff for organizing this race and running this truly awesome community. This format has my big fat stamp of approval for many aspects.

 

[Justin Swan]

Just goes to show consistency is more important than outright pace

 

[Vaughn Stegeman]

Well, my mood has finally swung back around ... So I wanna get back into racing here.
Please put me on the grid =D
