Cold Turkey Brno GP

[JamoZ]

I`m involved in some other games atm aswell, and i play paintball on sundays. When i get home i`m so tired that it`s really hard to concentrate and keep focussed for a whole race. So i`m giving up my spot to people who want to race

Had a core.exe at race start, then couldn't get back on because the server was in race mode.

I think there is a big problem with the Multi Bike Mods.... I've never had so many core.exe crashes since I've had GP Bikes and this is the first time there has been a multi Bike mod race organised, with so many different bike mods included in a race, since the Multi Bike Mod was released.

I tend to agree Hawk, although some (including me) did not have one core.

So next race will be No mod bikes.

Arvoss thanks for hosting. And testing this out.

Sorry for leaving but its doing my head in and i did not feel like racing anymore.
hope who did had fun.

Well I was thinking it might be a good idea to maybe set a server for Multi Bike Mode use, but test it in race conditions but only using one type of MOD Bike at a time? This will test to see if it is the use of several Mod Bikes at once that is the problem, or whether it's simply MOD Bikes that are causing the problem?

Fucked up the start, sorry guys. Weird shit spinning around in classification screen during race, don't know what the hell that was. Screenshot points to My Piboso folder?!

All those cores... Is it the bike mod or Brno? Never seen so many cores with the bike mod on another server.
It sucked that only 6 players managed to start/finish the race :/ Thank you Peter for this event. Cockpit only was a very good idea. Maybe I'll always play like that now!

But it was the closest/best race ever! 11 laps behind Stout, last 6 within 1 second and I passed him in the final corner. My heart beat went from 60 to 300 in the last corners lol

I had a huge lag spike when the lights when green then everyone shot ahead of me. Then slide in to the dirty and took forever to get back on track, once I did was kind of running alone the whole race.

[Klax75]

Not sure what the problem is I didn't get any cores at all. But this time I was in-sync with everyone else. Not like other times were I am out of sync and have to retire because I can't see anyone.

[JamoZ]

Something is not right in the mod. We tried to host a 1000cc server earlier and noon could connect. Everyone had the same mod package and same track version. I never had any problems with the mod in the past...

[Stout Johnson]

ooooh where to start?

1) many thanks to Peter!!! you did much for this event... your last events were great. Now we took it a step further and tried multi-bike-mod.... dunno why, but obviously with 10+ guys on various bikes and many different ping levels - the multi-bike mod obvioulsy stretches the online coding too far atm .... ? but please dont be fed up Peter, your effort is much appreciated - it just didnt work out this time
2) for those who didn't have many cores or not a single core: well, congrats to you... but I also didn't have a single core for  the last 2 days I practiced at Brno.... I didnt change anything except adding skins.... so it seems to pretty random and it could be anyone having the cores....
3) strange things I/we observed: a)me and nuovaic always had core at the same time or within 1 sec after one another..... (like 5-6 times.... so coincidence unlikely) b) the guys with the higest pings had fewest cores..... kinda strange
4) congrats to Arvoss: nice epic race.... I will remember this race for the nice close and clean battles.... really like it should be. I didn't feel comfortable without the groove on hard tyres... so I feel like I did a bad race - but the result felt quite ok
5) lust but not least: we somewhat betrayed Warlock.... he stayed with us the whole evening when people were having cores while he didnt have any.... when he started to have 1 core we didnt restart the race.... was not really fair to him - I guess we owe him one.....

[Arvoss]

Indeed, I felt sorry for warlock and the others :/ Tomorrow we can race again on Brno Or on WRS I really hope this will be fixed in GP Bikes v1.0. Well, it has to be fixed before releasing a v1.0.

One thing that I noticed different than any other times I've participated in race events is, that it took a lot longer to connect than ever before. Maybe it was just me that was experiencing this, but it would be interesting if any of you guys had the same unusual experience while connecting.

Also. Once when I had a core.exe and then reconnected, everything seemed fine, I was connected, I could go on track and practice(In fact spent 10 mins riding around), etc, etc.... but then I wondered why no one else was out on the track...... I went to chat and could see others chatting away there so I typed something in, no reply.... Then I realised that even though I was connected I was obviously not there with you guys, out of sync with the server or something, I was in some sort of parallel virtual universe all on my own. LOL. Never had this happen before, although I believe Klax has had a similar experience at the start of a race two events ago?

But anyway, as Stout has said, at least we now know that at this stage of GP Bike Dev, that a Multi Bike MOD event is probably pushing things a little too far for now and we hope that Piboso can sort this issue out for next release.... In fact it may help Piboso to pinpoint the core.exe issue? Who knows. 

Thanks Peter for hosting this event, and Arvoss for the backup.....  it was a great idea, and for some it turned out okay, but at least we have revealed a problem that needs attention for the next release. Well done guys!
