Hi,
just dropped in to inform you that this issue has been mentioned couple pages back under "Master Server" Bug topic.
I explained there in more detail how this happens (it's not just wrong password).
I would just like to add that probably any kind of failed connection to a server causes "No reply".
Maybe you guys find it helpful knowing you're not alone
Later...

Quote from Scawen :

I've tried to reproduce this but don't seem to be able to.

Can you reproduce this every time? I need a reliable way to reproduce it or I won't be able to track it down.

ALso I'm a bit confused because normally when you run a SPR, the replay loops and does not return to the replay selection screen. But that is not the case if InSim is running - so maybe you have InSim running and that is why you expect to see the replay screen?

Anyway, with or without InSim, I'm pressing escape when the screen goes black for a second but I don't seem to get any issues.

Hi,
It's easily reproducible (every time) - with InSim. Without InSim I can't do it.
Before I start - game is patch Y18 (no mods of any kind).

As soon game loads, open insim port - /insim xxxxx (I think any will do). I didn't connect anything to it, just opened a port. Then, load hotlap replay (don't know if mpr will crash it). Now, at any point during the replay press ESC once (just so that the menu appears) and wait for it to finish. That should make game freeze just like alxf1 explained.

Thats it. If you need more info like mine specific in-game options (e.g. - I set "Load track when starting: [no]"), ask it
Cya around :P

Hi

Quote from flinty72 :

...Any ideas on the cause of this error?

I had a similar problem, only mine line in question was #84.
I haven't got a clue as to what causes it, but I "solved" it by deleting last two empty lines in "english.txt"
Now my last line is "lg_relay = Take Over Car".
Could be same solution to other language files as well (if the problem appears there too) - all end with empty lines.
Hope it helped

Great program by the way - I enjoy using it

Hi!

Happens to me too. U can relax - your "exe" is just fine
...or, on the other hand, everybody has a defective executable.

It's actually pretty easy to recreate and circumvent. But the problem will stay forever, until fixed.


Recreate part:

- go to "Multiplayer" -> "Display list of hosts" (select DEMO - requires a full host) -> press "OK"
- wait until "List of Hosts" screen fills with nice juicy full servers
- pick one full server and connect
- if you did it right "Host is full" message awaits you -> press "OK"
- you should be in "Join Specific Host" -> press "Back"
- in "List of Hosts" -> press "refresh" button
- VOILA ! We did it. It works every single time.

btw, ^^ reminded me of an old ZX Specy text adventure (only thing missing - a rope )

- oh yes, if u didn't already, press "ECS" (or "SPACE") button on your keyboard to stop the "invisible" host listing.

Me personally have never waited beyond 12 failed connects (they fail in quartet - 4 by 4) but i assumed it goes to the end. Seeing from your screeny indeed that’s the case. Let's continue, we're almost there

NOTE: Could be that "Host is full" message is not the only thing that triggers "invisible" host (almost typed ghost) listing. It's possible that any kind of failed connection to a server, full or not, triggers it (e.g. - When during connection period someone disconnects from a server - also fails the connection). But i did not test it!


Circumvent part:
(this will actually only really help you exited the game and ran it again, because this way is much faster and works also 100%)

- okay so u pressed "ESC", u have 0 hosts on the screen -> press "Back"! (now if u pressed "refresh" again, like I'm sure 99% of you instinctively have (I did), just press "ESC" to stop the agony)
- now in "Multiplayer" screen, select "Display list of hosts" -> press "OK"
- VOILA ! Like nothing happened (unless you stumble into a seemingly stacked (13/14 - but not full), that got full while u waited for "ESC" to stop the listing)


That's all! Hope it relived some of your worries at least

Ciao!

Hi!

While checking out my "Racer details" tab in LFSW i noticed that all of my hotlaps were done using "w" controller. Now that would be nice if i actually had a wheel. All my hotlaps were done using a mouse as it is shown correctly in "Hotlap charts" tab.

In fact, "Racer detail" tab always show that "w" was used, no matter if true or not. Even more, it does it to all players.

All other columns (BH; AG; SH; CL; AC) appear to be correctly displayed as in "Hotlap charts".

Happy fix'n

Ciao!
