TCOne 2013: Archive (RACE, WTCC)

[Ray Lilley 140]

Boy, am I having trouble with the game.

I have had no trouble all over Xmas playing on the public servers. When I tried to go online Tuesday morning I found the 'Connecting to Lobby' either delayed for 30 seconds+ before being returned to the Options menu or, hanging altogether.

When I have managed to get to the track the first thing to notice is that the countdown timer is always starting from 999.99? I am able to go on track but clicking the button to access my set-up files hangs the game. Countdown timer stops! From here I have to use Task Manager to exit the game.

I have tried a fresh reinstall of the game(Tedious) and when that did not resolve the problem I decided upon a complete reload of a mirror copy of my C: drive from a fortnight back when the game was fine. Oddly enough, I still have the problem? All other aspects of internet access are just fine. The 9Gb re-install for instance; other access, etc.

So, I'm pooped! Yes, it's possible(with patience) to run around Birmingham - the land of the giant spider- but, without set-up files it is pointless. Besides, as the countdown timer always begins from 999.xx, I may not actually be online?

[Ray Lilley 140]

Ivan, if I don't get back to you before midnight tonight GMT(Wednesday) count me out for this round, at least. Problems within the game make it impossible to compete.

Cheers, mate.

will be 16 or 18 laps?

[Ivan Navarro 282]

18 laps.

[Ivan Navarro 282]

So sorry to hear about your troubles Ray. Alexander is also having issues connecting and I don't know what it could be for either of you as others seem to be OK.

I'll reset the server in a bit and see if that helps.

[Ryan Callan 2,576]

Alex's problems have been solved, I would guess, as he has not got back to me since the PM.

[Scott Søvik 62]

I should be able to make it tomorrow, not 100% certain but if I'm not there there's a good reason. Still do not know if I have to be there at 2am or not.

[Rhys Gardiner 273]

Due to moving house, Corey Slade cannot make this round, and it is unlikely that he will make much of the rest of the season. I'll keep you guys posted on that last part, but for now, please sign him out of this round.

[Rhys Gardiner 273]

Article is 99% complete, going to get some rest and finish it up with screenshots and post it up about 8-9EST tonight.

[Ivan Navarro 282]

Below are some Screenies to provide examples of the Track Boundaries for Round 4 at Birmingham:

 

Turn 1 - Front Wheel is barely outside of white line, but out nevertheless, and front left is on the grass.

 

Turn 7a (First Chicane) - This is barely OK, as I cannot see track between the edge of the wheel and the edge of the line.  This is as close as it gets, but still good.

 

Turn 7a - This would be a clear example of cutting the first chicane - NOT GOOD!

 

Turn 7b - This is the second part of the chicane. The front wheel is out here.  This is an example of a cut, that is not allowed.

 

Turn 9 - Now to the fast chicane.  Here the wheels are barely inside the outer edge of the line. This is barely OK, but good to go.

 

Turn 9 - Same corner, clearly not good!

 

Turn 9 - Same corner again, this time marginally out, but NOT OK! (Rear wheel OK, Front wheel is on the grass and outside of the white line.)

 

Turn 10 - Next part of fast chicane. Again, this barely OK, but still good to go, because I can't see track between the either wheel and the line.

 

Turn 10 - Example of front wheel out of the track boundary, because I can see a bit black between the wheel and the white line.

 

Example of Pit Exit Violation

 

For Pit Entry normal Track Boundary rules as with the rest of the track will apply.

Driver allocation for Round 4 of the ATCC has been updated.  Check HERE.

 

Track boundary screenies also posted in Round 4, Birmingham thread.

[Ivan Navarro 282]

Yuri reported absent, so Glenn Petersen promoted back into Division 1. 

[Mathias Bonne 2]

Sorry for this late sign out Ivan its will not happends again but there is some real life problems there came in so i cant drive the race sorry . I hope all will have a nice race

[Vinicius Ferreira 1]

I'm out, have a trip saturday morning

[Ivan Navarro 282]

Two More Corners:

 

Turn 12 - This is OK.  Note the front left wheel is outside of the white line, BUT the other wheels are on the sand colored textures that extend beyond the curbing, which makes it OK.

 

Turn 14a (Penultimate corner) - This is a cut, not good.

 

 

Warning:

 

There are three to five hot spots on this track where cutting will gain time, depending on how you count them (T1, 1st chicane (2x), fast chicane (2x)). In an 18 lap race that means there are at least 72 opportunities (68 for Div 1, Race 1). For this race, if you are reported for cutting and have 12 or more track boundary violations in the race, you can expect to be penalized.

 

It's very easy to cut the first part of the first chicane.  Be very careful there!

 

 Fair warning has been given. 

[Ivan Navarro 282]

Vinicius Ferriera has reported absent, Andy Vandevelde has been promoted to Division 1.

I can not make this round either. Have fun guys.

[Hugo Barbosa 3]

I'm having some hardware problems, so I can't race tonight. Good Luck to all and have fun.

[Daniel Wood 3]

My power supply has decided to up and die this evening and i have no way of getting a new one so I will not be able to race tomorrow. Sorry fo the late notice.

[Glenn Petersen 0]

Windows did an update last night on my computer and now it won't boot up. When I get home from work I'll be trying to get back up and running. Hopefully I can get it sorted out by quali.

[Glenn Petersen 0]

I'm going to be a 'maybe' tonight. My computer did an update before shutting down. Now, this morning before work, it wouldn't boot up all the way. When I get home from work I'll be trying to sort it out. Hopefully before quali.

[Ivan Navarro 282]

Driver allocation has been updated HERE.

 

Paul Wood and Daniel Wood have reported absent, Matthew Barron and Dennis Phelan are promoted to Division 1.

 

Glenn, since your report is technically a late report I'll leave you where you are for now.  Please let us know if you can't race before the event starts so we can adjust the allocation accordingly.

[Corey Slade 2]

Due to moving house, Corey Slade cannot make this round, and it is unlikely that he will make much of the rest of the season. I'll keep you guys posted on that last part, but for now, please sign him out of this round.
