Ok I must've had more than enuff fuel to complete race and so it didn't make me add some therefore engine kept running, Lol I dunno, I'm guessing, pit takes an age with changing tyres, still not found how to fix that, guess well all learn more about it tonight

Cracking racing, shame about the dud pit crew always wanting to put fuel in even on a 0 stop strategy

LOL at bernard for running out of fuel >8D-\-<

I'm still suffering stutter-slideshow and freezes- far worse than NGT. Almost undrivable....maybe all done with GTR which is a bloody shame.
rFactor hopefully is better

Mine started doing that tonight when I got home, otherwise I would have out in an apppearance tonight.
Anyone know what causes it, as a hunt round my system didn't show up anything?

Time to reinstall GTR me thinks...

Its that frps bug happy had it night before i copped it also disconnecting and reconnecting fixes it,I had no problems last night,u can tell when its happening as in the garage your view facing outside the door of your garage goes fuzzy it has only happened to me once,i have been in the r factor servers and no problems yet.

RedValiant · Post by **RedValiant** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 7:44 am

go to bed Marty.

Mine was a series of stutter blips- when you go past say, ripple strips, there seems to be a frame missing every second or so, so you get a kind of slide show. Was getting 90-100fps then down to 50-60 and finally about 25-30 at races end with much stuttering and even, at the last lap a total screen freeze

I have tried everythng: reboot, virus and background stuff off; graphics down to the minimum; vidio bios setting of 32mb, 64mb, 128mb, 256mb...no change except to get worse. It' is such a rooter as the game is the business. I've been on higher ping servers with less issues than the inspire one. I have a feeling that other cars making smoke and dust etc is too much for my specs. Next wek I'll turn sp fx off completely and see if that helps. I'm on a work network and maybe the connection is at fault.

If rFactor is anything to go by, shadows can have a huge effect on frame rates as well, so try knocking that back a notch or two as well if you haven't already..

With high shadows in rFactor my frames would jump between 90 and drop to 10 at times, just knocking that back and its now 90+ all the time

No No.. this only happens if you have Ignition bound to a key/button.. otherwise its all automagic

I agree with Riven.

I made sure that I had 1 stop set up in the setup and minimal fuel (ie: as low as it would go (which does not appear to be zero!). Then you come in to your pit. It stops, the white pit instructions screen appears, use the down arrow to the tyres and press the left arrow to get no change. Do for fronts and rears (left arrow presses may be different if you have a mixture of softs and mediums) then press enter and youre away.

I stuffed the left presses up in my first stop and had to peer at the screen to find it again hence an extra 10secs wheer I let Riven get away in race 1, but race 2 I did it OK in 6.6 secs. and that was slow!

My main problem is not overspeeding. I wasnt certain of the pit limiter so made sure I crawled out of the pits and again lost time. Still lessons learnt for next time.

Does anyone know for sure what is the speed limit? in mph and kph?

60. pit limit works well

Yeah I had to lift off when following you in the pit lane, even with my pit limiter on... best you get it mapped to a button

Some people are NOT using ISDN for there connection rate

Last night GTR sat on 2mbit upload only for each race.

With 20 players MAX on last night, thats 100kbit/s each
100 != 64

BAZZIL · Post by **BAZZIL** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 1:44 pm

yes kiddies check your connections

If you sacks with 1fps bugs went and got AMD chips you wouldn't have the crappy problem you have with your shitbox intels

The ISDN data rate is a dual channel ISDN rate not single channel. We've been over this before.

So ~100kbit/s per person is correct.

And when I say "we" I mean me and whoever I was talking to about it last season after the second race.

you could be onto something there, intel and Radeon 9800 pro seem to be recurring features of the frame/stutter bugs.

Well that's interesting. I had a P4 3gig and a Radeon 9800 Pro in my gaming PC and I had 1fps issues randomly. I have now upgraded to a 64bit Athlon and a X800XT and given my old one to Aaron and I haven't seen the 1fps issue since.

RedValiant · Post by **RedValiant** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 4:31 pm

upgrade time. I'm going back to Nvidea (though their new card's titles make no sense to me), don't know about AMD over intel. AMD's run hotter and are a bit slower I've heard.

Agent X20 · Post by **Agent X20** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 4:36 pm

The 1fps problem has been reported on all kinds of hardware...

Happy · Post by **Happy** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 6:18 pm

I think it is to do with net code, has anyone ever had 1fps bug in single player ?

Not that I'm aware, the opposite is now the norm, but that's a whole nother can of worms, just take it from many here that AMD64 and a Geforce6, you can't too far wrong IMHO
