WARNING : THIS IS A TEST

NOTE : THE VW SCIROCCO IS NOT INCLUDED


Hello Racers, here is a new Test Patch : Z10.

You can view hotlap replays made in version Z.

Quote from Trekkerfahrer :

¡edit: for the numberplate on lx4, cant you just modify the 3d shape?

Scawen said that if he fix that error would make the version incompatible, so if you don't want to only be able to play with Z11 players...

But im running one.

Or something needet to update on Masterserver?

Right, this had me puzzled for a while.

I tried to run a host and could join it but could not seem to see it in the list of hosts.

But in fact it was visible... it's just that if you sort by version number you will not see it at the top of the list, because it is alphabetically sorted. You'll see it if you scroll down the list between the Z and Z2 hosts.

maybe its wich the "1" wich is includet in the then that it shows between Z"1" and Z2

but thanks for the reply

PS: i would be very happy if u join my server (others to) xD

[SR] Racing System
pw: none

dam game has a mind of it's own ey no problems to report with my 9800gt. Apart from the lx4 which u can't fix yet.

Ok found another bug: (sadly)

Here it is:
Setings:
Track SO3
Car UF1
Laps 5
Wheater 1
cars per host 1
cars per guest 1
-----------------

Teammate drove a fastest lap of 50:8x
Then i made a good time but it was a 51:63

but it showed:
Fastest lap 50:8x by [SR] Brandon
and if i finished lap it said:

Fastest lap 51:63 by [SR] Marco

I added Replay:
i hope its the right one

I guess he spectated after he drove that lap and before you drove the lap so he actually wasn't in the race anymore. IIRC, it has always been like that. Don't know if it's a bug or a feature.

thats no bug lol

if the fastest lap racer goes pit or spec it will delete the fastest lap and the next fastest ap will be uploadet to the fastest

Found another bug to:

I can drive throught walls (bug was there since Z) i think or noone noticed it. or tested it

To reproduce first watch Replay
Setings:
Track: AS5
Car: FXR

Heres Replay:

Two InSim oddities.

- When stopping for a stop & go no IS_PIT is sent, there is however an IS_PSF at the end of the stop.
- After a driver swap, STime in IS_PSF does not include the time before the swap actually took place.

I don't think I ever noticed this before this set of test patches, correct me if I'm wrong.

If you're about to lap someone and go over a split line, then the time the person you are lapping you is in front of you on track is briefly shown next to their name as you go over the split, then disappears. It shouldn't come up at all

Z10 fixed only the mouse issue?

Guess I'm rolling too fast

I'm having a graphics card issue with Z9 and now Z10. Patch Z works fine but when I use patch Z9 or Z10(And I assume Z3+) I get a "IRQL Less or not equal" error. I'm using the latest drivers also.

I'm going to update my XP install with the latest service pack and see if that helps.
The graphics cards are two EVGA 9800gt's in SLI if that means anything.

Thanks for the great updates dev's,

Aj

Turn off the SLI, it might help.

Hi Scawen, it seems that the multi AI bug is back.
The server is set to one car, it only loads 2 cars now and not all the time.
Did you change something in Z10 because it never happened in Z9.

Anyway keep up the good work m8

edit:
Scawen it seems it's only in the startup screen that you can add more than 1 AI.
When ingame it just gives the warning msg
