Refund Possible?
I should of spent more time on demo, but I made the mistake of getting S2 before checking the poor state of its gaming servers.

The servers are slow, 6 fps from the servers looks really unprofessional and feels awful.

The servers are run by kids who can pretty much do what they want and often do, like restarting a race if you beat them and then banning anyone that does, it's unbelievable that this is tolerated.
Try iRacing! It's awesome! Very good value for money no like LFS!

Yes,I can lie very well!
Quote :2. Payment

2.5 Credit card and PayPal payments can only be refunded whole, within 30 days after purchase and as long as no copy of S1 or S2 has been unlocked with the purchased license.

Its there in the EULA which you've read before you paid for the license.

As for

its their server - they can do whatever they want.

Its up to us to find and race in servers which suites us.

6 fps from the servers... You think the servers control your fps?

Use your brain please. If available. (Doubt it).
google tells many lies, I want to here what this iRacing is, is it for iPod?
OK... Now you are going a bit too far. Nobody can be that stupid.

You got your 5 minutes of fame, congratulations. *yawns*

If you can lift your PC, try to lift yourself off here and stay out.

You were told dozen times, by much more experienced guys in LFS, that you are wrong. Yet you have to prove, that you are also dumb. That's really sad, isn't it?
oh, well..
awful troll is awful :>

Frame rate doesn't have to do with server quality. That's just from a terribly slow computer on your end.
OMG how long have you people been playing and never noticed every multiplayer game is jerky.

The servers (the online games you join) send data to clients (that your pc when its connected to a server) at a maximum 6 times a second, even if you had alienware it would still look jerky (laggy).

My pc (Big Ernie) can run the the video at well over 100fps, but I sync the display so its running 60fps as anything more is a waste of electricity and hardware.

I've been playing for many years and my LFS runs smooth as silk most of the time.

Just because the online data is sent/received at 6 or less PPS doesn't mean that the cars are drawn at 6fps, LFS just used that data to correctly position the cars at those intervals, when not receiving data LFS predicts where the cars should be and should provide a smooth view especially with the closer cars.

Vsync does not save as much electricity as you might think

I suggest reading/searching/posting your problem in the tech support section of this forum and maybe you will find a solution.

Maybe you could turn off your P2P when you play online?

Good luck.

I think this is a "hidden" advert for I-Racing
This th should be nominated for the Year end awards

Out of all the racing games I've played this is the least professional looking when online, its the first thing I noticed, cars disappearing and reappearing, sometimes the prediction gets so way off you'll see a crash that never happened, my connection is fine btw, 9Mbps down 1Mbps up and stable.

Also I make sure nothing is affecting the connection and even turn off system hogging stuff, the last time I used P2P was to download this game as the file verification is better than a normal download.

Perhaps you were on a rubbish server - depending on it's location / quality it can affect things. On a proper host, it's perfectly fine provided the network at the data center doesn't go FUBAR for whatever reason.
Just check the ping on the server list...best indication. I'm on a truly cr*p PC but get between 20 and 80 fps during online racing as I stick to the servers with ping in the 40's and 50's...if you connect to the 300+ Aus servers it's gonna fail.
