Anyone still out there?

Going on :15 just in case...

 

[EL_ZISSOU]

hey burnout i just ran a couple of laps with you but your car was all over the place, i think you werre lagging. did my car look like it was lagging to you?

 

[hornet_burnout]

Lagging you say... I see...

Well I'm off. Tired of parking on the side of the road.

Who are the guys who race with the TORC tag?

I was just in a race with them and was punted twice. First was TORC_JoeRacer, who shoved me off going into the chicane, and the other was TORC_PH, who used me as a brake and shoved me off in the chicane.

I guess it has nothing to do with these guys on our forum.

I know know who this group is, can't beleive the standard showed by our forum friends. I only realised who it was when I looked at the Race events thread and saw all there TORC events on our board.

A little disaapointed in the offending drivers TBH.

So it is definitely them?

 

[Squasher]

Did anyone in the last race see my car on the driving line of turn one? I think it was with GTPs grim, racer_lp and sausages. sorry if i stuffed anyones race up, i was put there at the start of the race and I cant move my car at all. Cant change view or do anything.

EDIT: and now two guys are in the sand (white 599 and red f430) reving their engines at me??!!!???

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Thanks Racer_LP for coming back. It wasn't anything you did wrong, I over did it into turn 1, and just about kept it on track only for a punter to come from behind and shov e me off.

 

[Squasher]

hmm bad night at the track. sorry if i stuffed ne1s races in the process, spending almost a wk out of the 512 made me very rusty, either lift off oversteer or power-over.

Indeed, great F40 racing with you guys last night - hope I don't run into either of you in Stage 2 for quite a while.

 

[Rudi Raser]

Yes it is, I have joined there forum, and the I can find two of the drivers that wre in my race, Womble, Joe Racer, but can;t find PH.

As I said a little dissappointed. Hopefully just a one off.

You have GTP_nuclearfire in stage 2 so theres no chance in hell meeting with us, maybe stage 3

No problem. I enjoyed our head to head races in the F40. 👍

 

[GTP_rpm]

Does anyone actually understand lag?

Some night I can run smooth races, other nights...like tonight, I have to turn it off.

I'm following 3 cars out of 130R into the chicane and the first car slows down, the 2nd car slows down even more then before the 3rd car begins to brake he is instantly stationairy and I'm no where near my braking zone.

GTRP_Muffin goes flying into the gravel and I've stopped before the corner because of the shunt.

Surely everyone else out there can't be racing like this?

Is there actually anything I can do? Are smooth races ever going to be possible for people on 1mb connections???

I bet that doesnt help.

 

[The Outlaw]

In at :45

 

[MADFORCE]

thx for waiting timeattack07gt, i touched Rudi only a little bit and he went into the dirt as if i havent braked

 

[Rudi Raser]

yes, lags again.

i will be bach in ~ 45 min. 👍

 

[The Outlaw]

No problem man...I figured I'd have more fun if I just waited for you guys

Sorry if I pushed you wide at 130R on the last lap in the :15 race...I may have given you a little nudge but couldn't really tell due to the lag. Man was that race laggy at the start lol. Great racing though!

 

[EL_ZISSOU]

Does anyone actually understand lag?

i dunno, maybe 💡

when i was running with burnout his car would keep zigzagging at about 45 degree angles to the track, and sometimes jump back and forth from one side of the track to the other. i was guessing this was because his connection was intermittently slow, and was transmitting data piecemeal to the server (and the positioning of his car reflected it accordingly).

this caused a number of incidents between us, including one where i made an inside pass with about 2 carwidths to spare (he was over near the outside at the apex and i just took a normal line), but the suddenly his car appeared at the edge of mine and i catapulted him into the runoff.

i waited a few times to try and give us both someone to run with since most of the field was a bit slower, but i think from his perspecive it may have looked like i was punting him relentlessly and then hanging around just to do it again. sorry dude but it really wasnt like that.



ahh while im at it- apologies to anyone i have had run-ins with this week. i have a few excellent excuses :

- havent played in a month or two
- wheel is out of commission and im trying to learn to be smooth wih a controller
- ive been drinking
- ive been drinking

ive gotten a couple of psn messages, mostly nasty but with some attempt at constructive feedback. if those who sent them are reading- your accusations of inexperience and intentional punting are not true, and that our run-ins can be attributed to the above excuses. i sincerely apologize for taking away from the quality of your race, and i hope you will give me a another chance when we next meet.

and to the drivers that i have had better experiences with - prudent bear, mr volcano, some gtlm-squad guys, hayabusa_gtrp, etc. - thanks for the great racing 👍👍👍

 

[EL_ZISSOU]

p.s. i was just kidding about the drinking

 

[The Outlaw]

Great race Rudi! It's always a pleasure racing with you. Lots of clean passing with absolutely no contact. Much respect!

 

[Rudi Raser]

same, thanks. 👍

but very laggy today.

 

[sejtur]

Sorry for being the host again... thus disconnecting everyone.
Probably the last one that joins in is the host. Am I correct?
If so, I'll try to join in a little earlier, so that I won't be the host hopefully.

 

[Rudi Raser]

Racer and zabeu, it was my own fault.

lool, everyone back. sorry mates.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Three races in a row for me have been ruined by punters. The last 2 have been on the first lap at the chicane.

Private rooms can;t come fast enough for me. I am getting really ****** off with all these idiots.

I know that slow connection problem, i have only a DSL 768 connection and my effective download rate is 91 kByte/s and my upload rate is 11 kByte/s
As i was a long time connected through WLAN with only 70% connection-quality i had much more lag as with my 10m cat5 cable now. I think the lag comes from a bad host connection and sometimes because of a general GT5 server problem.

With my wired connection is very close and lag free racing possible, if the host have no problems...
