... but there is an issue with the leaderboard divisions percentage system. It only works with the RaceRoom Raceway!!!


RaceRoom Raceway with divisions percentage system

Nürburgring without divisions percentage system

It needs more than 100 entries

 

This might sound strange for tracks like Sonoma, Eurospeedway, ... with less than 100 entries, nevertheless, thx for the info.

 

Spectator mode not working - "no response from server".! All time, All server!!
Thank You Sector3

 

Hmm ok. 24hours patch is on the way. WTF are you doing still?
TODAY Audi TT Cup Championship GRAND FINALE event, and the spectator mode not working.

Too much. I will delete this game.

 

The devs are doing what they can, there is no need to be rude.

 

I just checked the Steam Page - there is no mention of Spectator Mode - so in my opinion, it is a bonus.

I did however notice one area that IS advertised, and doesn't seem to have been upgraded in some time :
"Realism - Every sense touched
You will see, hear, and feel what a race car driver does behind the wheel. You’ll grow smelly from intense focus and the resulting perspiration, "

I guess if you get something right the first time, it needs no extra tweaking....

@Gabor ™ you should be ashamed - look how sad J-F looks :


You did that.
Won't those puppy dog eyes melt your glacial heart?

 

Thanks for the update. It is great that this sim keeps progressing!

I do have a request though. Whenever you update the API it breaks previous versions with regard to competitor's cars. Can't it be possible to upgrade the API without breaking previous versions of it?

 

It's actually down to the add on developer to accommodate the changes. The API includes offset information so client apps can know where to look in the shared memory for their data. Using this can be awkward depending on how they access the shared memory, but the API is always clear and consistent.

I drop the shared memory byte array straight onto a struct, which makes it hard to modify the behaviour depending on the offset value, so i have to update my app every time more data gets added. But this is an implementation decision I've taken (also known as 'laziness')

 

Hurry up please..

 

@Mr_Mints_Taboo ,
he's always looking like that. It's his subtle way to control the forum!

 

I have very big Problems since last Patch with my Triple Screen Crossfire System...
Since last the Patch the Shadow Split Option is always enabled.
That will cause extremely terrible flickering with Crossfire enabled... so Raceroom is unplayable for me since Patch!!! Before the Patch everything worked like a charm!
I can disable Shadow Split in the Option Menu, but after Raceroom restart Shadow Split will be enabled again...

Please, please give us back the Option to disable Shadow Split! Not everybody using VR!

 

Any idea if tire smoke will come back for VR users? It worked fine in the first pass but then taken out for the second and not returned in the third, ruins a spinning car when there's no visual clue somewhat, thanks.

 

@J-F Chardon Hi, any news about the AI selector you can share? Is it in the works?

 

This is the most urgent thing for me now.

Raced yesterday a 25 starters grid in GT3. Raced the M6 (so its necessary to select GT3 because in GT-Masters its not possible).

25 starters. 4 of them Mustangs, 1 Ford GT, 2 Glicks, 1 Alpina, 3 Camaros and NOT ONE Audi R8 for example.
(so more than half of the field old museum stylish GT3 - and Z4 and SLS is not counted either)

Thats really annoying and i can not see where the big problem is to let me select against which cars from my selected class (as a first step) i want to race.

 

I just did a multiplayer race where the server had race 2 and race 3 enabled, and I only found the footage of race 3 in my replay. Could this be related to that change? I think there should be a separate replay for each race.

 

While you're at it, could be great if you could fix raceresults.txt in the log to show results of race 1. When there is a double race it just saves the results of the second race twice. Some of us who build auxiliary apps need that data.
