Round 1 Istanbul Park - Sun Jan 10, 2021

I'd be pissed off too but for your info we did restart the race but I think the same happened again. The problems seem stem from those who chose to make their on teams and liveries. Seems to be an rF2 problem not an SRO problems. Yes SRO need to look at better faster servers that can handle large grids which is a problem we've had going back to the first lockdown last year and its now not good enough. Stick with us though this is a great site and there's lots of hard working people behind the scenes bringing us some great series and great racing. The problem we had yesterday were mainly due to buggy rF2. Hope to see you trackside soon

 

Yes I'm just going to go back the "original" method of just dropping the MAS file into the car's created livery folder, that should work as there were lots of custom liveries last night but were using the original car names (rather than a custom team file). That's what I've done previously and it worked ok. Maybe the RCD file that's created with a custom team is now upsetting the server.

@John vd Geest is it worth just setting up a server with 5 minute sessions on? I'll sign on and then let the sessions rollover to the race and make sure the above solution works.

It's a shame about last night, partly because I practised every night for this one and also because I usually restarted the server during the qualifying session if I was on there, wish I'd let it rollover to the race start now! lol

 

Not sure how you guys doing your livery, but have always edited an rcd file in the car folder. But I have stopped doing that a while ago since that method very often got broken when the cars got updated as the veh reference changed. But there you changed the Description to whatever to be displayed in all lists, there was a few using that method as well and it worked fine.

It's a well reported problem already....I won't copy it all here but if any of you want a quick read by all means.

 

good way to test is set 20-30 ai on a server and see how they are if you find them laggy you know its more server provider related, yeah we had to upgrade the server but it solved the issue

 

It maybe the amount of internet traffic caused by the number of drivers so using AI won't show this. I'm no expert in this area I only know that I raced on Saturday at another site using rF2 and we had 30+ drivers and had no problems. So surely it must be something to do with the setup of these servers in particular. It was however a lot better than the problems we had in the first lockdown but then we had high 30 in number. Had we not had 6 drivers kicked off though it may have been worse. Oh well I'm sure SRO can sort this out. We have to remember that very few of us pay for this site so if you guys want better servers and race here regularly then please think about donating a small amount for the price of running the site and paying for the servers

 

lag lag lag transparent cars disaster, if it repeats at Road America I retire from the championship

 

Nice race guys, very close and fun!

You have been very good, a real shame for the LAGs, especially during the first laps of the race! It was really very difficult to drive in that situation, too bad because I've never had so many LAGs in SRO.

Let's hope it's better on Road America

 

Happy to test just send us a PM when you're ready

 

ok

 

Good racing all. Congrats winners and finishers. Happy with a podium. Just to finish these races is a test, let alone being third. Like others have said, their was some ping issues I guess. Andrea was here and their, like a connection problem but it was ok. I was happy to follow. Just happy everything is working on my side. I wish I could help some of you guys but what you guys talk about, it's way over my head.

On to the next fun track.

Cheers,
Johnny

 

I had the same issue but I'm almost sure it's not on my side rather on server or S397.
Race was very laggy, real time hud messed... hopefully will be ok for next time.
