Quote from Scawen :

By the way, do you start to see why Eric doesn't like posting here? These crazy conversations you end up having with people who can write but can't read. They are quite mentally tiring because you have to say the same thing dozens of times and still it is ignored and the conversation goes round and round like a wheel of deja vu. It seems like people have nothing to do so they play a fun game "wind up the developer who likes talking to the community". "All we have to do is keep repeating Microsoft marketing at him, regardless of his reply, and soon he'll become agitated which is great fun". That's probably not the case but it starts to look that way, when people talk to you and don't read the reply.

After a while it seems like there isn't any point saying anything because what you say is ignored.

I do think you're right with that, your mind is set, there is no reason for you to move on from XP so why discuss it at length with us.

Maybe you shouldn't go to the extreme Eric has chosen to go, meaning no communication at all but just be a little more selective in which discussion you chose to get involved in. I do think this XP vs Win7 one for example would've gone the same way without your input, maybe it wouldn't be as heated (because both a part of the community and you got very strong views on the subject) but I still think it is an interesting discussion about the pros and cons of software moving with the times and deserves a space in the forums, this thread was probably the wrong place to go on about it though.

While it may not seem like it but I do think a lot of us really appreciate having a developer that is so open with the community and that is probably part of the reasons why so many still are so passionate about LFS and whatever happens in this forum. I still think no/very little communication is the wrong approach for the situation we are in right now, just ignoring the few naysayers when stuff doesn't work out as planned is still much easier then ignoring an even bigger part of the community that used to love speculating about every little thing you guys decided to share with us.

But that is another topic where there's strong opinions on both sides and was discussed at length already, so I'll stop now before we get into even more drama.

I'm pretty certain I remember the dx9 debug discussion from one of the test patch threads, petern got debug output to work on 64bit windows 7. I don't know if that changed by now though.

Edit: as mentioned by peter here https://www.lfsforum.net/showt ... php?p=1830896#post1830896

There may be streaming links for euro int on the lfs irc too.

Sorry Scawen, but that was just too fitting not to post it, pls no ban k thx

Linux server finally updated, LFS at AC is back. Right now running in public mode with:

CARS: bmw_1m_s3;lotus_evora_gte;lotus_evora_s_s2

TRACKS: imola, silverstone, westwood90, nurburgring, trialmountain, monza, gentrack1, silverstone-international, vallelunga, mugello

If you didn't join the "LFS'ers at Assetto" steamgroup already you may think about it again, the plan is to get some semi public racing going there with weekly events and clean racing on a passworded server. (I am open for suggestions, will probably do first event Wednesday if the server holds up fine)

edit: you need all the addon tracks linked to join the server, blame kunos for that, the anti cheat thing checks every track in rotation.
edit2: I've removed the anti cheat files for the addon tracks, so hopefully you can join without having them now.

You need a working python installation on the server then follow the freejoin readme.

Got to love the booking system, 2 people on 10min qual left, can't join... Whatever Kunos was smoking when he thought of this, I want to have some too!

Got server with 0.9.3 on, LFS at AC for any late nighters wanting to give it a go. Booking for another 13min.

btw, pringles created a chat app so we can actually see chat and reply to it while driving: http://www.assettocorsa.net/fo ... pp-for-multiplayer.10684/

You can see the classes if you chose a car too, show all cars then there is a button for classes, can't remember what it was called.

Quote from Fordman :

I have obtained a PDF file that is just brillient for anybody that is hosting a server. It is not my work, so I will take no credit for it, but it was a chap on AC forums Raijin.

I have also done a car list, easy to read so it's a simple cut and paste.

Hope this helps

Fordie

Problem with that is that those "classes" are not very balanced at best and not at all balanced in some cases. You can't just throw the cars together, manually checking RSR times to compare is the only real solution atm.

Shadows are a real fps killer, I've set it from high to medium, can't see much difference and had about 20% less gpu usage. (on a gtx 770)

Are you both running Billion Bipac 7800N router by chance?

Thread about it here: http://www.assettocorsa.net/fo ... ror-loading-car-list.9574

I think I can get rid of idiots now, need to test further, but you can kill the tcp connection from a client with tcpkill, so that should work on a per race base. Feel free to try again.

It's LFS at AC, probably some filters you set that prevent you from seeing it? 2min booking left

I've put the LFS at AC server into "normal" mode again running roadcars that seemed pretty close together on most of the tracks bmw_1m_s3, lotus_evora_gte, lotus_evora_s_s2.

Track rotation atm: imola, laguna, silverstone, montreal, nurburgring, trialmountain, monza, mugello

If there's too many idiots I may put a password on, right now it's free to join for anyone.

It's missing the finish line, you better wait for the hotfix, unless you don't care about timing.

Why dont you say that from the beginning! Somebody was indeed driving so I guess the slots are really taken. You can join the race anyway, doesn't really matter what session is on I guess?

Server works fine, you need freejoin to access it.

Quote from undertaker00 :

atm im online > lfs at ac

I'll restart the server soon to add the mp4-12c, forgot about it yesterday.

edit: restarted

We really need a friendslist for this online business, I would love to drive a bit more with people I know, right now it's either the #lfs irc or randoms.

Kunos fix it!

edit: 6:54, if we're already throwing times around, was up a second already a few times just keep screwing it.

We are talking about the nordschleife addon track, and that is hard on GPU. (I've got a GTX770 and it's on 99% GPU usage in some parts with 4xsgssaa)

It is quite hard on gpu, try turning down the shadows, that helped me getting a lot better performance on some parts of the track.

That is a problem caused by a misconfigured host file, you can set how long it waits until it goes to lobby.

We're racing on LFS at AC with freejoin again btw. No password.
