hello,
since the update 1.4.92, I have many problems, the most serious is in the sound of the engine of all cars, it sounds a very unpleasant reverb, I have deactivated the reverb, post fx low, it is impossible to play. Thank you for your attention

 

I am doing several tests since 2 days and no CTD until now both beta and main release...

 

Track & Layout Used: in this case was Cascavel
Car Used: Mini Challenge
Applicable Settings: 2 different dedicated servers, same issue

Report:
After the last update, the multiplayer seems to be a bit unstable with ghosts and disappearing cars.
We had the issue in a server, hosted in its machine, then we moved to another server (so a different machine) and we had the same issue. I'm sure is not a machine's issue because we used to race even in 40 players in it.

Here there is a video of the issue

and here a screen of the server window, all seems to be ok


Steps to reproduce:
in this case, create a server with Mini Challenge @ Cascavel

 

I was there, I have a report for you too.
We tested several servers, different regions, etc. All of them were updated to latest build.

Here a video of another guy racing with us!

 

I was running the 1st server that night with this problem, and can confirm that server performance and bandwidth didn’t appear to be an issue. Server was running at well below 50%, FPS was a constant 250+ with 17 users connected, most of which were running 100ms response or less?
Seems to have only started to be a problem in 1.49 builds?

 

always with turbo cars?

 

I did a test with the copa Uno the same night on Reiza Official server and the car was "strange", like some weird sounds while turbo was going down or sound going on loop even if stopped and a friend of mine, racing on same server, starts to disappear or warp in front of me. After we tested AJR at Interlagos on Reiza Official server too, we were 9 running all togheter and no problem at all.
Nothing from the trace?

 

We got the same kind problem at RaceDepartment, with the Minis; so with turbo too! Track was Cadwell park. Suddenly at the end of practice the other cars were starting to jump around, or disappear completely. Everybody seemed to have a good connection to the server, but could not see the others. We restarted the server, switched to an another server (on the same machine) with no joy. In the end we gave up, and drove the Catherhams on the official Reiza server: all went well. We had 3 other AMS events since then, without any problems. One of them was with the AJR, so some cars had a turbo I guess (not the whole field).

 

It's Saturday, I haven't looked

If anyone's had server lag issues with no turbo cars present please say

 

Soooorrryyyy I forgot it is Saturday, enjoy!

 

Track & Layout Used: Any (Used Spielberg 1977)

Car Used: Any (Mod used: Porsche 1974).

Applicable Settings: Replays created in old version

Report: Replays created before the last update contain bugs (cars flying on track)

Steps to reproduce: Open replay file created in old version.

PS: I have the vcr file, btw.

 

No the log file does not show anything. The log file only shows info that someone thought worthwhile showing at some point, if it's an issue not had previously, then it won't show any useful info...

 

Unfortunately for the Turbo to play properly in replays you have to revert to 1.48.x in the Steam Beta tab to play old replays.

 

Ok, so how can we help you guys to understand what is happening?
Some specific tests or sorta?

 

Track & Layout Used: Spielberg Vintage 1974
Car Used: F1 1969
Applicable Settings: Wing changes (see below)
Report: There seems to be some rather strange behaviour when changing the aero balance of this car. Default is F-2 R-4, if you change to F-3 R-5 or F-1 R-2 the car behaves very strange, insta-spin at T1. These changes might shift the aero balance a bit but I assume this car doesnt generate much downforce and did not expect such drastic changes.
Steps to reproduce: Change the wings to F-1 R-2 or F-3 R-5

I'm no physics or setup expert so maybe I'm wrong but the behaviour stood out to me as a bit strange so thought it worth a mention.

 

Track & Layout Used: Curitiba, Interlagos, Speedland 3
Car Used: StockCar V8 2017, Copa Montana, Rental Kart
Applicable Settings: Dedicated Server
Report: When creating a dedicated server, it loads directly at Qualifying session, skiping the Practice, even when I set it to 165 minutes.
Steps to reproduce: Open Dedicated Server, set the parametres (including lengh of Practice) and load track. It starts directly at Qualy.

 

Track & Layout Used: Kansai Full (but any track with a long straight)
Car Used: MetalMoro AJR (Engine: Honda K20 Turbo) with default car setup
Applicable Settings: 5.1 speaker setup
Report: Noticable engine sound loop between 7000-7800 RPM
Steps to reproduce: Just drive a long straight, where your RPM range stays between 7000-7800 for a while.
