I suppose we could disable Voting now, what do you think?

I suppose we could disable Voting now, what do you think?

Yes, sure. Admin tools are working (you can even ban yourself :-)); I think for now it's best to have

Code Select Expand

BLACKLIST_MODE=2

in the server config. This means that players actually get banned when they are kicked.

Collisions finally fixed.

Collisions finally fixed.

I'm just wondering if this is the patch which is going to "improve our online experience" as one of the dev's promised... Change log isn't looking too promising if this is it. It's good that collisions are fixed though (after being broken for months )

[robt100]

Hopefully this is just a start............or were doomed!

[gooner andy]

neys or sean cant seem to get itto server says unavailable content but have downloaded proper track from server maybe one of u could remote connect and sort me out thx.

[Seany]

Most likely just a different version of the track you have.  Delete the existing one from your HD then try to redownload again from here:  http://www.mediafire.com/download/atn4zdux44hnr4i/Salzburgring_v1.01.rar

Some nice changes here.  

Server has been updated, all appears to be running ok. There are quite a few new server.cfg options (including UDP ports for new plugin system etc), so there may be some issues or settings we will have to tweek to our liking .  Let us know if you see anything odd/broken!

[Neys]

Hmm it doesn't work for me. I tried to log in, but got a checksum failure. Afterwards I updated the server contents, but this did not help. I'm running a Steam Intgrity check now. I hope I did not break the server for you.... I'll keep you updated.

[Seany]

No worries, we'll figure it out. ( I was surprised how easy it was...too easy!   )

When I updated the server earlier I deleted the Car and Track (Content) folder and clicked the "Update Server Content" button in the new "Assetto Corsa Server Manager" tool (generates the new content folder).  Then I uploaded this to the server and replaced the .exe too .  I successfully joined and sat in the pits for a moment and all seemed good, I didn't do a lap though.  I did this a few times while I was adjusting the track temp.

Where you not able to get in at all?

[Neys]

Everythings good now. Anti-Cheat detection is working also on tracks with configs I have had an old version of the track...

[Seany]

Ahh great!

Liking everything so far.  F40 seems a bit more "slidey" :g:, or is that just me?  Quattro is very good, very light ffb and some under-steer  but it's fun.

....back to testing more cars :racing:

[Seany]

1.2.1
- Reduced Nissan GTR Nismo low speed oddities
- Nissan GT-R Nismo corrected typo bugs from suspension alignment.
- Nissan GT-R Nismo different damper settings.

- Server forced virtual mirror off is now ignored when Oculus is used

Updated sever:

new anti cheat files for Nissan GTR and MP4 GT3

Matched temp setting to what what previously set on the F40 combo  (Air 26 °C- track 32 °C).  This will give us a better idea of what has changed Re FFB etc.

Properly set voting quorums again.

Only had a quick play offline, but ffb for me on the G27. had to turn off all kerb/slip/road effects and lower overall gain about 5-10% and increase the min force to about 15% from 8. Seems to have got rid of the numbness in the centre but given everything else a good feel.
