Multiplayer Logs & Reports Thread

Very strange, that almost makes me think it has to do with the emperor manager, i'm in several leagues, both as admin and as driver, and we never had that issue.

Even with the community cup where we had 30 drivers on 2 servers this hasn't happened.

 

Want to report a potential results issue with the sms_stats.json file. It seems sms_stats.json reported the wrong Quali time for the 6th place driver, making it seem like he had a slower time than those behind him. Despite what the result says, I'm pretty sure the driver had a faster time that placed him 6th on the grid.

 

This report is not something coming from me, but from someone in a different community, who asked me to report it here.

The MVRC community are running a "random roulette night" a couple times a week, with short qually and race sessions in succession, for this they are using a JustRace server which is in "host chooses" mode, AKA "controlgamesetup :false" in the server.cfg.

recently they've run into a couple strange issues, that they haven't experienced before, below is a copy/paste of the description of the issues i've received with stream timestamps, i will also attach the serverlog and the logfile from the person who was host.


Roulette November 2nd

"Lobby contains too many players. Please assign a Race Director Broadcaster".

Broadcaster and director were set off in both in-game multiplayer settings and JustRace event.

Probably not related, but someone had over 13s pings there. While working on cloning the server,

some people quit and it started loading, but server was deleted and new started anyway.

Embed/timestamp doesn't work for this one, timestamp is 1:11:55

Unfortunately I don't have log file for this one. Looks like I play too often and it saves only last

5 or 6.



Roulette November 9th

Race1:

Evil Noodle mentions in voice chat that unable to spectate. 24 max, 19 drivers in lobby. Mentioned

later that there were even less drivers and still unable to spectate.

Race 2:

Mention in lobby chat by JK that unable to spectate because of too many players in lobby. Around 5 mins left

of qually. Around 1 minute left, "nobody can join" said in lobby chat and we see a lot of people joining

and leaving immediately.

Unfortunately I can't remember who said that he was able to join to spectate after a while, but I remember it happening.


End of qually session. Stuck lobby. Finding out that different ping icon. Trying to kick people, but can't.

Takes about 5 minutes and just before I delete the server and start new one it suddenly is working again.

Stationary car ghost at 50m track mark. Saw those in first two races several times I think and not only on main straight like it used to be a while ago.

attached zipfile contains the serverlog and the log from the host.

they've never experienced these issues before the last update, so not sure if there is something in the update related to these issues, hopefully the info/video footage and logfiles will give some insights.

 

Thanks for looking into it. It might just be the web parser we are using that reported it wrong.

 

Hello everyone
I want to share a private event from last night about bugs, old bugs related to results and performance.
I attached the log file.

This is the final results:


This is the official game result post-race and its wrong because Michael Diazgranados didn't finished 1st.


Regarding the connections, David Oyarzo was the only driver with a high ping; the others are drivers from the same region, and during the race server disconnected Andres Mora, who was leading the competition, and another driver.


Thanks

 

Hi! yes, we were using Race Director.

 

Thanks!

 

Does being a Race Director, Broadcaster, and entering as a spectator driver, or withdrawing during a race and remaining as a spectator, have the same effect and can cause the same bug?

 

We had two race sessions today in which members lost connection. While I was unable to obtain logs from the members who lost connection (CumSum and BumblB), I do have logs from the host and four other participants. BumblB lost connection right at the start of both events; these logs are from the second of the two events. CumSum lost connection partway through the second event which is logged here.

 

Not sure about the times these issues occured, but lately Steam seems to have some more hiccups occuring, these don't affect everyone, but can be the cause of these disconnections.

What i always tend to do first now is check if more people reported Steam issues around that time if we have a couple people disconnecting during our events:

9 out of 10 times these issues weren't really AMS2 related, but due to Steam issues or just plain instability at the users side, which quite often could be resolved by them restarting their router.

Not saying this was the cause of their issues, it could still be game related, but these issues aren't completely avoidable when a game relies on Steam for multiplayer stability.

 

Hello all!
Dedicated server. Last 5-6 races on different cars and tracks - driveable earlier (all be ok).
Now driver on track, but no see. Collision - check. No driver, no ghost. Like hi drive on parallel world.
Qual - unknow. But on race - yes - collision drivers, who do not see each other.
