i did some tests with an old nvidia card 2 years back and tried lads of different drivers to see what effect it would have on my 3d benchmarks

and as a general rule of thumb, the older the driver, the higher my score, until i hit a point that gave no extra gains, i saved this as a zip file for future use, not sure of the ATI stuff is the same?

it was explained to me, that the older drivers are more "streamlined" and not bogged down with newer features that would never benefit my lower spec card

swain does not time the laps :lol:

i might do a few laps of "swain drift" when i get home from work and see just how much of a difference there is

i will use Race_S set as a control, and post the results

to be fair, the person who bumped him off the track, wiped me out on the same server in the previous race, when i was 4th in the FXR :mad:

Quote from niffer022 :

im fine, but i have noticed a hell of alot off people timing out on my server, they sign back in 5 mins later there timed out again, it happen quite alot yest and so far its happened 6 times today....


like i say im fine...

this has been happening a lot on the conedodgers server as well, me included, its very strange as i have never had problems before and its a completely new, fresh install ??

Quote from felplacerad :

Edit pies worked? Awesome!

unless "edit_eng" "unlocks" something , i dont think you need to do the type part, shift + a works for me by itself

just tried another few "combos" and went in this order
/edit_set
/edit_stupid
/edit_pies

then i just tried shift + A and it works ????

i knew i had seen the general layout before somewhere, i just couldn't put my finger on it, Lister skin looks good


my skins don't have any copyright issues

who is this person who was banned?

i could not find anything on RSC ?

Quote from LFSn00b :

How

quick description, smash through the bollards, careful not to go through the building, drive around the outside of the building, onto the access road, then "sneak" onto the section that is not drawn properly at slow speed, you will fall down, but fall at an angle, when reset you will be on the grass, drive around the grass up to the said gate, smash into the gate as speed and fly through into the skid pad area.

i do realise the above massive paragraph will not help you in the slightest

and by the time you do all this the car normal has completely spackerd suspension on all 4 corners

the warp trick was a revelation to me pmsl

i used to get to the skid pad from autocross servers doing the opposite until somebody showed me the warping reset trick

cut and blow sir illepall

can somebody tell me what exactly you are supposed to do when leaving the server?

i was told to enter a pit box, then i went to pits to change some settings, i lost my car, i was then told to actually park in a garage with the roof over the car and go to the pits, i did this and lost a car again ??

i just can not see the point?

must admit, it stutterd for me last night while aproaching a corner, and ended up with me crashing out, very frustrating, might go back to U30 if i can?

Quote from Becky Rose :

I would bet money, if I had any, that all the people suffering from this stuttering are either doing stuff in the background or are infected with some form of malware.

...

fresh install last night, game worked perfectly in single player mode, i had to practice with the inferno setups (i lost all my old ones when the HD failed yesterday )

there was next to NOTHING on my system, not even a virus checker at that time, no MSN, nothing!!!!!

it stutterd like a fooker REALLY bad

this is with a wired broadband connection, after a few mins, which i assume was all the skins being downloaded and stuff, it settled down and i could join the race, but it did stutter a few times while racing, when somebody else joined??

whats intresting is that this has got worse scince i did a fresh install, i`m thinking its related to downloading skins, as my skins-x folder was massive until last night, and i race the same people 90% of the time.

Quote from Davo :

I've never had stuttering before even using test patches and a few days ago I experienced it with patch V. And since then a few more times. Thought it might be winamp playing in the background or something else but after closing everythign down it continued. Hasn't happened again so it might've been the actual server but the other person didn't experince any stutering.

Not sure what's going on, but all this talk can't just be hype, something must've been changed to be causing this. The thing that has me stumped is why show up now and not in the test patches. My best guess is that it has something to do with the new sounds.

i agree with this, i had noticed it a little bit a few days ago, but my HD failed last night so i went for a full clean install today, mine was stuttering really bad today and i was wondering WTF was going on, once i had the skins downloaded into the skins-x folder it was playable.

i was convinced i had forgot to install some GFX drivers and was scratching my head for ages illepall

Quote from jtr99 :

Thanks for the pointer. What an amazing bit of free software. Oh, and there is a sound add-on that works nicely.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I`M DOING WITH THAT THING!!!!

made a shuttle take off for around 5 secs then smash back into earth, and i think i made a space station go out of orbit as i couldnt work out how to make the space ship un-dock and i gave it full throttle while still connected

hard as feck!

how is the "dumpvalve" sound made now?

there is no sample that i can see?
