Can't enter online server properly

Mitchi

Hey guys. Long time reader here.

Registered because I have a severe problem that I don't know how to fix. It occurs in all my rFactor installations since I made a fresh windows installation.

It looks like this:

When I'm on a server, I don't see my name, I don't see anyone on the track because the preview-window doesn't show me other people and I can't race on the track.
I've just taken the screenshot from the Historic GT & TC mod as an example, but it's always the same with every mod (the green-ish dazzle on the preview screen is in a normal rF menu just grey). It works perfectly fine offline.

What I've already done to try to solve it:

- Given rFactor proper permissions in my network via my motherboard's Atheros software (highest priority and everything from the game allowed)
- tested it with two friends of mine, we all had the exact same files of a mod and set up a dedicated server, still doesn't work (prevents that I have wrong tracks, wrong cars)

... and that's pretty much it. I couldn't really find help via Google, so that's why I ended up here. I want to start in a WTCC funevent in a league soon, so that's why created this thread.

I'm no noob at computer stuff, but I can't find a solution for this one.
Finally, my PC specs, if this helps:

Intel i5 4670k @ stock clock
2x4GB Corsair Vengeance 2133 Mhz
MSi GD65 Gaming
EVGA GTX 780 ACX SC

Please help me guys, I'd absolutely appreciate it.

BUMMMMP!!!

I have this exact problem, my screen turns up all grey when trying to join servers.

I can see the ppl that are connected to the server, but i cant see them race, cant join.

Its like the game gets stuck while trying to load the cars or something.

Reinstalled couple of times but nothing have worked yet :(
 
I have the exact same problem.

The lobbyscreen is all grey and i cant press join.
Cant see the cars on track but i can see ppl that are in the server, but not my own name.

Its like the game gets stuck while trying to load the cars & other players info.

We need this problem sorted ppl, please help!
 
I HAVE FIXED IT!!!

I dont know what motherboard u running Mitchi but i have a MSI board and with that cd that comes with it, it has a driver that is named "Qualcomm/Killer Network Manager"

I used live manager 5 to update my bios and network drivers, and used this tip to inactivate that killer network thingy!!

Hope this fixes it for everyone that has the same problem!
