So, Yeah, is it me, or others that are causing this as im not sure if i am lagging, or if everyone else is!

Talking/chat is strictly not allowed during meetings so i didnt get the chance to ask. This was 'screenshotted' when lining up for the first (short oval) race but it is also happening throughout the races.

Needless to say, despite me racing on a banger server, this makes me look like a really dirty driver as i appear to be ramming people sideways over the barriers but in reality, i will be following a car, it then disappears and i can see the lag counter which stays still. So, i have a clear track.

Then, all of a sudden the car, or more often than not, many cars, re appear next to me momentarily and then bump over the barrier and off the tracl as they have 'teleported' into a space between me and the barrier that is not wide enough for a car, making it look like i have barged them off the track.

Tonight is the first time this has ever happened to me in this way. I have seen single cars do this, but they usually time out and the problem goes away.

This was happening for the whole entire meeting. My lag bar was nice and low so i don't think it was me causing it, especially as we are graced with a very good server admin who will warn twice and then kick people who are lagging the server. Nobody was warned or kicked so i cant explain this problem.

This problem was causing serious trouble for me later on in the meeting as attempting to line up was impossible as you would line up nice and neatly, only for another car to reappear next to you on the wrong side or between two rows of cars at a silly angle (we line up 2 cars wide for the length of the straight.) Plus when i could see cars, they would drive along, hit another car, appear to roll over or pinball off the track and then re appear further ahead.

I have added a screenshot of what i could see on when lining up and a replay of the first race. Any ideas why this is could be happening?? Thanks in advance!

Perhaps try restarting your PC/Router.

Since you say this hasn't happened before then it could possibly be your ISP doing service work, having unexpected high load or you being put onto a crappy pipe (basically they slow down your internet because you've gone over a 'pre-agreed' fair usage policy, which is normally in the very small print)

Other than that, could be spyware/virus, other people could be using your connection, etc etc.

Cheers for the advice. My pc is all good as i have avg8, zonealarm firewall plus ccleaner and adaware 2008 which is all up to date, but i appreciate that something like that could cause it. I have also done a connection speed test and it comes up at the normal upload and download speeds so no problems there.

I can't help but think that if i was the cause then the admins on the server would have been telling me that i was causing lag problems as with it being a full contact banger server, any lag ruins it totally. in the final, (5th race) cars couldn't even line up properly.

I was on the back row but i could see other cars going nuts! Other cars appeared to be driving back and forth on the grid and knocking others out of the way. Everyone was shouting at cars in front or behind, WTF, STOP HITTING ME!!!1 RESTART FFS! etc...

So i guess everyone else was feeling it as well, so not just me.

There was odd lag on CTRA this evening, so it could just be a busy night. Wait until tmmorow or something and try it again.

Ill be online tomorrow as there is another meeting in a different server that i am booked in to race. I really hope its better as i was pinged across the track in every race. Luckily in every race apart from one i was flung in the right direction so i didnt lose a lap and i landed on my wheels, enabling me to carry on. I did have to use arcade chase view after that though as the roof was down and i couldnt see anything to the right (where the barriers were) Lets hope it was a smal bug that goes away.

Is your problem solved? I have pretty much the same darn thing going with my connection. Cars are teleporting...

Same problem at me , didnt solve it yet.

Hi,

I have fixed the problem with that way , now its okay

I have found that when Vsync is on, there's a huge lag.
When Vsync is off, there's no to litte lag but a huge screen tear.

Load RivaTuner for my Ati 4850 gfx card and loaded D3Doverrider and set LFS to force Vsync off .

Graphics settings can slow your graphic rendering, so you have a lag between input and actually something happened, but usually it's not big in LFS as in other modern (sh*tty) games

I had similar problem yesterday, everyone was sometimes teleporting, few minutes I couldn't see any car, and on the small map the cars were jumping let's say every few seconds, in one moment I thought I'm offline or something but still no disconnected, I suppose it was because of my poor shared internet connection, my ping was very high and speed around 128kb/s, in one moment after the race other players said that they lost me for several minutes! I suppose that it was all held by LFS, my settings:
Multiplayer speedup option YES
Multiplayer car draw 240m
