loading that many YT players in one page has serious consequences (probably just simply complete crashing on lower end systems).
---
Not that I expect that something will be done about it but I like just to report that this is a very big efficiency problem. (Which I solved on a different forum many moons ago by preloading the thumbnails and only initiating a player screen when the actual video is requested to be played).
This whole redirecting thing should not happen at the client side to begin with. Its old fashioned. The (sub)domain should keep the same format and a geoDNS service should decide which server is the best to serve the request.
Then this whole redirect functionality can be removed, obsolete.
Its relying on the same node information which LFS stores in .pth files. EQ Worry combined certain corners for custom layout tracks to complete some missing data. It would be much better to create a whole set of nodes which do not rely on a (modified) .pth file.
Actually this is the missing piece of the puzzle to get racing interesting again. At the time I had the idea to recreate nodes based on some external polygon track overlay being triggered by MCI data but this is a lot of work and I guess it introduces some lag.
could be because of the use of an outdated GeoIP database. "My" 149.34.244.246 for example also gets redirected to US while its nowadays a NL registered IP. (Its a VPN IP so I have no issues in exposing this).
To go around this problem for LFS guessing your location is to make some user selectable field where redirect can be manually selected as a sort of overruling userdefined setting.
I also justed just tested the download. And while im digitally in Australia and getting redirected to jp1.lfs.net (reported on the background by the freeware CurrPorts tool). I still do not get this yellow redirect message, no clue why it does not appear. Normal chat/system messages do appear.
What I also noticed, there is no way to abort the joining/download process. So if you change your mind and want to abort the joining of a server you have to wait quite some time. Isnt hitting the ESC button an idea to abort server joining? Maybe with some dialog.
What can also help is compression. I noticed that more then 50% of bandwidth can be saved with compression (zip). But, I think this is actually already happening and LFS is unpacking the mods download after download. On older machines this can cause more network delay then desired. Use less compression or start unpacking after all downloads are completed?
No! I am using D21 but I do not see any yellow message although it clearly redirects to JP if I watch the freeware CurrPorts tool (run as admin to see packet and size data)
Because the feedback is too slow to my liking I started myself with experiments;
The problem is I do not get across 1.5 Mbit/sec unless I start multiple testbin downloads out of Australia in different browsers and dif[..]
update: Hmm interesting "cmd" netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal seems to fix this 1.5 Mbit limitation problem. I disabled this autotuninglevel during earlier testing (I think).
I spend serious time today fiddling around with TcpAckFrequency and other TCP parameters in W10 but it seems to be stuck .. Which annoys me, primarily because every change needs a complete system restart (ppff).
Couldn't improve in-game patch 6R to 7D (35 Mb) download speed from Perth, Australia by using my paid VPN provider. It stayed around 1-2 Mbit download speed, noticeable far slower compared to a more "local" connection.
Going to try it with a Linux client although I am not sure if Wine actually uses the Linux kernel/TCP settings or does some Winsock emulation on top of it.
Otherwise need to fall back to some Win7 install or something, sigh. With this kind of operating system bugs I wonder how much influence third party programs can have on the whole situation.
You find this very strange, well, my money goes to funding this total scum while I don't want to. The prime minister of my country said its even FAMILY. Wtactualf. How strange is that sounding to you?
If you would keep very close attention on what my focus is, then I am not focusing on this at all. Some other person here brought a symbol ... Well its not even a symbol but anyway.. Someone elses attention is on it which is actually the extreme narrow view what a lot of people have. This narrow point of view is being narrowed by mass media and the UA propaganda machine.
Back to the main question you have, should people be hated, excluded from sports, tourism, be on this planet, bullied, dehumanized just because of their nationality or race? No! Ofcourse not, where in history this ever leaded to good results?
this is disgusting
I stick with that, nothing to say anymore in this topic.
It's a UK war (photo)journalist which was actually there (he is now back in London for the moment).
So you call this propaganda, right, well... Thats your opinion then.
Ye, whatever.. Hyped by Germans mostly. There is a different symbol today appearing for the fifth million time or something. Any idea what it is, or maybe this knowledgeable ACC..
I do not want to write book essays about it because its a waste of time and it gives the dictatorial powers here tools to go the Putin way (again). It only shows that LFS 0.7 goes down the drain (who wants to host their server by a ruling Putin-style power :s , if anything being said or done what you do not like you start to lock up people for months. Nuts.)
But anyway... Propaganda.. Propaganda is writing whole 'news' stories from UA sources and then ending it in the last paragraph with an almost hidden line of text: "this information could not be verified". Most people do not read that far into an article or do not even know what it implies. This is the daily receipt for months already and this UA-clown even started to give medals to foreign "journalists" for their "work". Journalists are also not journalists anymore in the west. Just hardly grown up kids with a laptop and extensive ctrl-C/ctrl-V training. For a journalist, look at my current avatar.
All I see is a German who wants to do a exclusion of a complete population. This has been done before in history. Olympic Games in Germany organized by Hitler 1936.
Some decades later: "Wir haben es nicht gewusst!"
This Z has not any value or do you think that showing white doves is also fascistic all of a sudden. Exclusion, apartheid, blaming whole population is one of the cornerstones of fascism. What you are writing is disgusting.
If anyone wonders why cargame.nl still responds, its because he has his principles.
It's propaganda, daily bombardment of lies, twisted stories and social media group forming.
I do not hate Russians, I hate stupid people. And there are lot of them lately, it appears that the majority had no education at all or at least skipped some history lessons.
yeah, way to many people doing that, it's sick
Right.. you are watching the wrong photos.
Maybe that flag needs some clarification. Its the Ukrainian Insurgent Army flag. It stands for ultra right nationalism and can be classified as worse as nazism or even worse then that. It represents genocide
I can tell more but most people of your type are complete deaf/blind. I really wonder how thats possible!
Do I need to explain this as well? I went voting myself and I voted against. The reason of voting against is precisely because I already suspected what was going to happen, which is happening now!
So do you still think its a joke that some Dutchmen is involved in a discussion about Ukraine? My personal inner circle already drove to the PL/UA border twice and back to get and arrange personal shelter for refugees. I think its quite risky as I personally do not fully trust these type of people but on the other hand who can be trusted nowadays. This is the bigger LFS-type of question. Before you know it you get canceled because you do not have a mainstream opinion in the *cough* free *cough* west.
