Jumping cars since Patch U
Some Teammates and myself have been racing on our server today.

One car starts to jump around the track, so our first thought was "you're lagging". But then, other cars began to jump around, too.

So, I made a replay...
Strange thing, when watching it: If you press <Tab> once to switch to "Gogo", then you can see myself (Red Runner) jumping around. So it shouldn't be related to lag.
I recorded this vid because I saw Gogo jumping around in the race.

Another teammate confirmed seeing jumping cars using my replay, so it shouldn't be related to my machine. In general, it wasn't just me who saw jumping cars in the race, nearly everyone mentioned this.


Please let me know, if you can't see the cars jumping around. I'll try to record a video with fraps or something...

Kind Regards & Thx in advance
Jens (Red Runner)

[Edit] I attached a video showing the error. The .avi is encoded using xvid (no sound).

Damm...I wanted to show that bug as well.Jumping F1 cars at the start of Kyoto Ovall.It was no lag at all when I tried debug function in LFS just the car jumping a bit.
Something like the opposite bug in past when car were like swimming into the ground.
You can see jumping BF1's on the oval a lot because they have wierd suspension settings (super stiff or something). Once the car is setup differently, it goes away. Has nothing to do with lag really.

I know its not lag but the cars shouldnt jump itself just because weird suspension settings.
The cars also jump when they stand still! So it can't be a setup-thing!

I'd have to disagree with you, i'm quite sure its a lag compensation problem (95% sure) on drivers with fairly high pings (around 100 plus mark). Also the fact it only happens with drivers with high pings seems to clarify this.

And the suspension settings are quite different from Q setups now, they are actually quite similar to circuit setups if i'm being honest. The full stiffness and etc is now gone, and more believeable suspension setups are used
I usually see it with at least one or more players on every server. Even UF1's... you will see one or 2 guys rubber band off the start, and be skittish through the race. As the class of cars get faster, the skittishness and rubber banding just gets worse.

Its not my connection or I would see everyone lagging/warping.

Gotta add though, Patch U is the only version I have tried.
