Connection type [solved 6 man on track bug]

[Arvoss]

I found something in the misc settings of the game. Does someone know if it changes something to your connection? More than 6 bikes visible, cores, lag,...? Never noticed that option before. It was on modem, now I changed it to cable/xDSL.

EDIT: YES! For the first time I could see everyone on the grid in the rookies race! 12 guys! I'm 90% sure it's because I use cable/xDSL type now!

Does not change anything.
Tried all different types.

Hm, weird. Why would PiBoSo put an option like this?

I've always had mine set to Cable/DSL

Shark, at his beginning had problem with connection and when he changed this option to cable/adsl his problem was no more.

It's likely that if you set a "bad" connection type (e.g. modem) the server will send you less data (e.g. less other bikes to be shown).
Anyway, today everyone's probably on cable/adsl, so that's what you should use.

Problems to see only 4 or 5 bikes comes perhaps from this? For some.

Had it on all three options for test for a while....for me no difference.....does not effect the core.exe either (happens on all of them)

For the first time I saw 8/8 bikes! I'm using cable/xDSL now. Can't confirm if this is the solution. Will try another time when there are 12+ people in a lobby, I'll try the 3 different options and tell how many bikes I see.

[Alby46]

yeah, maybe it's like rfactor that you can set how many cars you can see on track, and here if you change the type of connection it does the same

Solved 6 man bug for me!

Solved 6 man bug for me!

Was this a case of, "I was blind now I can see!!". Hehe

[PiBoSo]

To see more than 6 bikes, the dedicated server connection must be set to "high", too.

thank you i will make some test of stability on high.
