Damn you're quick! Went for a pee and the links were up. *I was refreshing every minute, I reckon you were on 5 second refresh. :roflmao:

Yay!

Does this thing install on top of the previous version, or do I need to copy all the tracks, skins etc to the new version?

lovretta · September 05, 2009, 12:24:53 PM

Wow that list of fixes really looks promising with attention to details.

Reminds me of lfs test patches..

New install.

Driver and licence folders need to be copied across to the nKPro folder in My Documents now.

Netcode has gone into fail mode. Needs fixing quickly. Was great in Beta 1

Abarth rocks!

lovretta · September 05, 2009, 01:50:50 PM

Perhaps try inserting abarth into beta 1? :d
Maybe there is your quick-abarth-online-fix

mattgirv · September 05, 2009, 03:57:22 PM

Hey,

First impressions are that the Abarth is amazing fun. It handles fantastic!

But is anyone else having crashes with the Abarth on connecting to a server? It just seems to stop on shadows.nko and if I tab out or do anything nks.exe crashes

Gutting.

Actually on further testing, I realised I had changed the skin from default to something else, I changed it back to default and I can connect to servers now without a problem

Yay!

What type of shifter does the Abarth have in real life? It uses the H-gate shifter automatically for me, but even with autoclutch disabled it still seems to be clutching by itself. So.. can it really have an H-gate which doesn't require manual clutch..? :g:

Indeed the Abarth rocks, really nice car to drive :yahoo:
I've also noticed a massive frame drop when driving the 500 abarth.

Did a little test at the new track.
My average FPS was about 40 lower then driving a F1600 :sideways:

Did one or two F2000 races and the netcode seems to work fine with that class, I think it has something to do with the 500 model, maybe needs some optimizing. :g:

I think it was just the driving italia server... or some of the people on it that was the problem. Raced of a few other servers and its been fine.

I just had my first race on Finnglish, but everyone else left except me and this other guy. Still it seemed pretty good

Anyone online later?

I highly doubt it is so.
But if it did, it wouldn't be inovation. There was one model of twingo that had something called easy shifting or something like that - h shifter without clutch pedal or you were not required to press it in all situations. Also later mercedes introduced similar system in its a-class model.

*Sorry for off topic

Sorry to vent my frustration here, but is it me or are their a lot of bad apples that are new to nkp scene. I've already noticed it in races and in some degree on the RSC forums. :eyebrow: :sideways:

Did you guys noticed something?

I'm sad to say it's to be expected. What we need is to put on some full mode races. :norty: That makes the silly people stay away.

Still no kicking facility.
