How can you be on lap 6/5 if thats the picture before the finnish line?

I think it calculates the finish before where you see the Checkers. Thats my only guess. The replay is attached, make the decision for yourself......All I know is that it was freikin awesome!

I am 88Amped. Host for the Asphalt Warrior's demo server. This just happened yesterday. a 0:00:00 difference finish at the line! Funny enough, if youll notice, He and I had also turned the same exact lap time earlier in the race. This was simply the best finish I have ever had in any online racing sim, period! Enjoy...

Where is the #8 skin? Can you provide the link? My we dream for a skin would be the new 88Amped car but 8 will do....all be it a little sach-religious to be carrying around a DEI skin. LMAO

Something has changed. Most likely the "server pc" is still using a dynamically assigned IP address and this has changed, and you're now port forwarding to the wrong local IP. Double check the actual rules with the actual IP assigned to the "server pc".

Hello. Thanks for responding to this. I am the host of (AW)AsphaltWarriors' main server. I'm slightly embarrassed to say that I am also a Network/PC technician of 12 years who solves complex networking issues every day of my life and yet this one has me stumped. I spent 2 hours or so with him last night trying to resolve this issue. So as you can imagine, having a static address was one of the first things that I had him check, and it IS static as shown in the Config. Also, I had him check all port forwardings/security settings on the router, as well as any/all security and/or firewall scenarios on the PC. Now, to get more detailed about the issue. The server was working perfectly last week. No problems at all. Now, the problem is that noone can see the server in the online server list, and neither can he. HOWEVER, he CAN connect to it via clicking on "Local Network" in LFS. Furthermore, when I try to "Join Specific" from my house to his server, I dont get the typical "Host not found on Master Server" message that you would get if DEDI was simply not working at all. What I get is the obvious signs that LFS sees the server, and is trying to connect to it, then up comes something like "ClientConnect: Connect Failed".

At some point, just to eliminate the minute possibility of a router issue, I had him DMZ the host PC. So the issue is NOT on the router at all. In pure desperation and as a last resort, I had him power cycle everything. We even deleted his entire DEDI folder and started over 100%. No luck.

Now, there is 1 thing and 1 thing only that has changed about the server since last week, when it was working. And it is that he added a case fan. Thats it. How that could possible affect DEDI is way the hell beyond me. However, just to be sure I made sure that he hadnt also installed any 3rd party Fan Speed/temp monitoring software as well, and he hadnt. No other software/hardware has been added either. Just a fan.

So, anyways, I just thought I would add some clarity to this issue so that you guys could have more specific info to go on. Thanks much for any/all help.

Thanks much man. That did the trick. I never would have figured that since it was never a problem before. YOU ARE THE SHIT MAN! And my team can officially kiss my ass while gently removing themselves from it........peace man!

Can you post here the actual host name text used in the setup.cfg file?

Just the text from the /host=xxxxx command.

Then I can have a look in the morning and see if it I can figure anything out.

// host name
/host= ^4(^7F^1A^4)^7FastAmericans

If it makes any difference, we also run the latest LFSLapper. On that note, all of our PBs seem to have disappeared. Thanks.

Ok, here is an update on my situation. It seems as though I, and others, can get into my server SOMETIMES by using "JoinSPecific" if we type in the server name PRECISELY, (With colors and everything perfect). But even then its not 100% of the time that it lets us in. None of us have yet been able to connect by going through the normal way (By way of the master list of servers). It still tells us "Host not found on MasterServer"

Alrighty. So, now I have the new DEDI running. My server shows up in the Master List of servers. However, when anyone, including me, clicks on the Go button, it sais "Host not found on Master Server." Whats up with that? If ya wanna try diagnosing this personally, my server is (FA)FastAmericans (FastAmericans in white text). Thanks

Um, ok. Now that the new patch is out, noone can join my Dedicated Host,and neither can I because I updated as well. I clicked on the link to download the new Dedi. But the link is invalid. Please, someone tell me where I can get the Dedi. that runs with this patch. Thanks.

AH! Thanks much. Will give it a try. One more question, when entering in a scheduled action, what time format is being used? (Military or standard).

Hi, I must start by saying LFSLapper is REALLY cool. Im really enjoying it and so is my team! However, we do a 25 lap race every night at 9pm so I am trying to make an autoaction happen so that I can just, as admin, type !start25, and all the paramaters I want will be done instantly, and qualifying will begin. So, here is what I have in the autoaction portion of my .cfg.......

AutoAction = True
hoho|/msg ^3What's so funny, {Nickname}?|
no name no game|/kick unnamed|
!admin|/rcm {Nickname} ^3can do it!:/rcm_all|
!test|/rcm {Nickname} is testing...:/rcm_ply {Nickname}|
!start25|/qual=15:/laps=25:/midrace=no:/mustpit=yes:/qualify

So, it looks right to me, but when I type !start25, nothing happens. All other autoactions work fine. Only the one ive created doesnt work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
