Nope this is a wired network.

Update: I managed to connect to an S2 server with one racer, and LFSWorld logged my new pb, that I had joined the server and that I was doing laps... But it wouldn't update the position of any other cars, and I was appearing as stationary to fellow racers.

Hey chaps,

I'm having problems connecting to any servers.
Whenever I attempt to join a host, I receive a "did not receive player info" window.

I've tried it on two LFS installs (patch X), and I've noticed that it shows this error on servers with more than 3 people (it gets to the 3rd person and dies).
When connecting to a server with less than 3 people, it will connect me to the server, showing a half sky, half dark grey screen, and then disconnect me after a variating period of time.

It isn't a firewall because it's A. turned off, and B. lets me pull up the list of servers, so the program can access it.

Does anyone know how I am to fix this problem? I did a search but nothing useful appeared.

Thanks in advance, this is becoming quite tiresome now...

EDIT: I managed to connect to a demo server with one racer... I received a message saying "Follower could not find position" and then it naturally lagged and timed me out. (Remember this is just me spectating, let alone joining track)

yup, i'm heading out to see a 50cc one tommorow, seems like a cracking bike, only it lacks a speedo cable, and i lack any sort of mechanical skill to fix it. Yay, more money to spend

Why are you going for the 50cc one? Also, it's restricted, I had a Gilera ICE 50cc scooter which uses the same engine as the Gilera runner and DNA, got that de-restricted and managed 55mph down a hill on a cold easter morning.

Lovely little thing it was, I called it Gibbly! :insane:

Quote from Jakg :

Just like a real bike, only goes 29 MPH! :P

That's a Gilera DNA, which comes in 50cc, 125cc and 180cc. I've actually had a go on the 125cc and got it up to 72mph before I nearly put it in a hedge on a cold country road. The fuel tank is a luggage compartment for a crash helmet. It's a bit strange without gears mind you, you feel like an idiot who only rides around in one gear. Also, not stylish when you're 6ft 3, bad look indeed...

Then surely it would just change down 2 gears as expected? Instead, it's shifting down four/five gears and banging it into first.
Can I get some official info as to what's going on in the game? And/or if this blip has been at least noted?

Chee-ars

Hey chaps, I did search for this but didn't find anything ("MRT downshift")

I'd like to report a problem with the MRT.

When i'm on automatic gears (always am), and I manually downshift when in a braking zone (always do), the MRT will jump from gear 5/6 straight into 1st, locking the wheels and swapping ends.
It doesn't happen in 4,3, or 2. Only in 5th or 6th (generally 6th).

I only press the button once, and it happens on various circuits.

I've also used various setups so it's not a one setup only problem.

I'm completely thrown by how this is possible, and/or how to rectify it.

Please enlighten me,

regards,

Quote from molocco :

maybe scavier are able to merge the s1 and the s2 stages so we can all use the same servers and the only thing that seperates us are the cars and the tracks that are only available to the s2 users? it really makes no sense to seperate the licenced users the way it is now. only the demo users should be seperated because of the wrecking factor.
then it would also be good if there are more licenced people joining the demo servers from time to time, to show the people how it would be in s1+2 servers by helping with clean racing...

+1 That's deffinately a good idea, and gets my backing.

Ok sod this, make room! I'm moving to Finland

Sweating in 20 degrees!
Are you somewhat large and tall fellow by any chance?

Does being tall make much difference? Apart from being ever so fractionally closer to the sun?

I also strongly agree to using various lighting, it give a welcome variety and also using random wind/lighting settings would be brilliant.

+1 indeed

Quote from Storm_Cloud :

Also, the downforce pushes the tyres into the ground meaning much larger braking force can be applied before wheel lockups occur.

I don't believe that's represented too well in the BF1 (little off topic there:tilt

Dare I say, monaco meets the Nordschleife... It's bound to happen, and it'll only get worse when they start pushing above 130mph

It dosn't even look like it would be safe...

it looks................ beautiful :drevil:

that's horrendous news

What you'll have to do, is get the mp3 file, and get hold of an MP3 into WAV convertor (google it). Then convert it into a wav file and paste it into "Sound" folder. Inconvenience I know.

Yep this doesn't work. Thing is, I have overwritten the horn1.raw file in the snd folder. Yet it still plays the original sound. This is because there's a horn1.wav file in the "sound" folder... Of which a wav file hasn't been supplied (only mp3 - which doesn't work in game)

.wav file anyone?

Well done, good stuff!

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Restart vote remains persistant if player goes to spectate, which is contrary to previous behaviour where by spectators couldnt vote.

If that's the case then there's a problem when only 32 can race, but 47 can spectate... as you would have to get a lot more racers to vote :\ ?

Edit: If it allows racers to vote, then spectate and keep the vote. But still bans spectators from voting then ignore my post. It's a good idea.

Blue & Yellow LX4(I couldn't come up with a name...)

Personally I'm not happy with the way it turned out. I just threw it together, and it really shows. I posted it anyways, so tell me what you think.

Put Michelin logo's on it instead of Canon, it should look better

The AI are currently one of the biggest problems with LFS (IMO), although the AI can be trained up to be more considerate and quicker than standard.

It goes without saying, stick to racing in multiplayer!

So the unlocks are set every friday?......That's technically not the end of the week... Oh balls.... that means I've got to send them an email :| *sigh*

Quote from Joe L :

hi! my name is Joe and i'm living in colorado at the moment. i've been looking at this sim and seen some video for quite a while and when i finally saw that there was a demo version i downloaded it. hopefully, i'll upgrade to a full version soon as well as get a couple of friends on so we can do a little racing.

Hi, you didn't wait around long, S2 licenced already. Good on you!

Haven't visited this thread for a while so i'll just say a big welcome to all of our new competitors.
Best of luck!

Oh wow this would be fantastic! Turn 1 would crack me up everytime...

Best of luck guys, I'll keep my beady eye on this.
