Quote from Raven88 :

And sorry to Ryan, Roger, Ray, Raymond, whatever his name is.... haha sorry Randy, i'll get your name right one day.

It's actually Ralf, but no big deal.

Quote from CSF :

Thank **** thats the end of oval! :|

You must have been really impressed with my drafting skills at the end of the race, yes?

Quote from Deutschland2007 :

Apologies to all the guys I took out in T3 at lap 20, to Elliot Southerton for crashing into him (thanks FFB fail) and to Randy for sort of pushing him into a DNF after I couldn't break enough.

What could you do? I was almost stationary on the racing line and you were in traffic. Hell, it was my fault for being there so I should be the one apologising.

Quote from tmehlinger :

True. On a more positive note, I was absolutely astonished to see everyone line up for the standing start without even a hint of fail.

Granted, the inevitable horror was just slightly delayed...

The system was pretty intuitive and cool. I liked it.

Hey all,

I'm having a problem where seemingly random skins become incredibly low resolution, to the point of looking pixelated.

It's not every skin that has this problem, the majority of them are fine. I've tried reinstalling lfs, and replacing the persons skin, but no luck. Anyone have any idea what's up with this?

I've included a picture, thanks for any help.

I saw that I had no one to root for when you timed out.

I signed up late last night. I haven't been confirmed yet but I'd like to get in on this practice session since I'm kind of a noob at oval racing. Is that okay?

I thought I recognized your name there. I was at the league night too and made it into the fastest group. I started 6th and made my way up to 3rd place fairly easily before I was blatantly taken out by the guy behind me. You would think the fastest guys would race fairly, but I guess fast doesn't always equal race craft.

Anyway, my friend and I have also been to Ocala Grand Prix (http://www.ocalagranprix.com/) which is better than TBGP, except they don't have timing for the rental karts . It's also about 1 1/2 hours away from me which makes it an all day thing.

I'll probably show up at TBGP next month. I'll just have to qualify in first place to avoid the retards.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

_rod_ was saying in Gentlefoot's thread in General Discussion that he can connect to the GFC server now (couldn't before). I still can't.

I can connect to GFC now. and the Spirit-® server. and Redline Racing. And LOTA. Maybe the problem has magically fixed itself.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

note: I can connect to the LOTA servers, however.

can't connect to any of the others listed as problem servers, though.

Haha, are you serious? This is messed up. I can't connect to the LOTA servers, but can connect to the Core Racing servers.

Here's my ping/trace:

The only weird thing I noticed is that 199ms spike during the trace. I've done the trace five more times though and it hasn't appeared again

My opinion of patch X? It'd be a lot better if I could actually join every server.

Quote from glyphon :

could you guys that are having a problem with the "guest info error" try connecting to Spirit-®. that's my server (500Server hosted), and I can connect to it no problem, by my dad can't.

I tried to join it just now (11:20 pm) and it gives me the guest info error.

Is it strange that I can join the 500servers test server, but not your server, which is hosted by 500?

Quote from mrodgers :

Quick question on that? How the heck do you find out what the ip address is of racing servers? I can trace or ping the master server because it's been listed in threads here. But individual servers?

I would also like to know how to do this, I searched really quickly but didn't see anything. I've been tracing and pinging every website I go to, with zero packet loss or whatever people think is the cause of lost connections.

Also, I found this. He appears to be having the same problem

http://www.lfsforum.net/showth ... 5755&highlight=server

Alright, I just downloaded LFS at a nice steady 800kb/s. I installed it, restarted my computer, unplugged my connection and let it reset itself, then tried to join some servers.

I can't join any of the Redline servers, empty or with people.
I can't join Gentlefoot's server
I can't join the LOTA servers
I can join the Fusion Fox server
I can join the Cone Dodgers servers
I can join the City driving server which is in the UK I think
I can join the UKCT server
I can join the 500 test server
I can join the Bara server which is in Germany

Quote from Barroso :

guys thats what happens when your connection isnt working 100%

I don't know about that. My connection works fine in other multiplayer games like Battlefield 2 and Counterstrike. No, I can't join the LOTA (US) servers, but I can join the CHOPS HQ server which is in Canada I think. There doesn't appear to be any kind of pattern to me.

I'm going to try and reinstall LFS completely now.

I've got Bright House

Yes! It's good to hear (I guess) that other people are having this problem. I also can't connect to Gentlefoot's server, the Redline Racing server, and I'm sure a bunch of others. It doesn't seem to matter if the server is full or empty. I've reset my router, checked for packet loss to various websites using Ping Plotter, and restarted LFS over and over, but nothing seems to work.

This also has only happened since I've upgraded to patch X. It's also pretty weird that everyone in this thread who has the problem seems to be in the Southeast US

Wonderful, I'm going to be pitting every 5 laps with this tire eating setup I have

Quote from Theafro :

BTW Who is 5. monstor? I don't want to sound like a snob or something but I hope he's a better driver than Stu colditz was at Fern bay. at the risk of offending somebody I hope he's not the monstor on LFSW (with 96 miles under his belt)

I'm 5. monstor, and I have 18,000 total miles driven. Granted I don't have much experience with the UFR+XFR but when I've driven the combination I've had a lot of fun. With a 60 lap race I plan on taking it slow and steady.

edit: I just did a 1:43.99 after 3 laps on SO Long, is this acceptable?
