Hi all,
I'm new to forum. I'm writing to speak about a problem that afflicts some users of rFactor.
A few days ago, I started racing online. I raced many good GPs but now, racing at the Nordschleife, I have a problem. The session always ends for a "connection lost" reason.
I read about this problem all over the web and, as results, I know that I'm not the only one and this strange problem does not have a solution yet.
I did many tests, and in addiction to what I've read on web I can say that:
-it happens only at Ring
-it happens always and only getting trough the finish line (or at least going to the pit after that)
-it happens only marking a time
-running (also for long time) without crossing the line doesn't cause anything
-few meters before crossing the line, it's possible to see other cars running pressing "+" or "-" without lag or similar.
-when it happens, even if the time is recorded by rFactor, it isn't sent to server
-it doesn't depend on the number of connected users
-it's not servers fault because many users doesn't have this problem
-when it happens, the other web connection (skype, TS, ....) works normally
also:
-my rFactor license is regular
-I patched the .exe to 4GB and "+fullproc" string
-the PC is new and has good performance.
-the internet connection is proven, it's good and doesn't show similar problem with other online games (of any type: Flight Simulator, Sniper Elite, Netkar, etc etc).
Now I think, going for exclusion, that it's something related to the trasmission of the long lap informations (about 8/9 mins/lap) from rFactor to the server. Something goes wrong and "connection lost" occurs.
I hope that this problem can be solved. I know there are other 5.000.000 of tracks avaible, but I can't give up racing at the Ring.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks a lot,
Gabriele
