F1RCRelay problem

by Ian » Tue, 28 Aug 2001 04:34:05

Well, I downloaded the new F1RC Relay program and so far have managed to
join 0 (zero) races.

I can log in ok, join the session and I'm taken to a new chatroom, the host
starts the race and I'm taken into F1RC, I select multiplayer but there are
no sessions shown.

Any ideas ? could my computer be trying to use the IP address for my LAN
instead of the internet one ? If so is there any way around it.

Thanks for any help.

It only works with the original .exe and the CD in the drive.

You can't be running the no-patch .exe, or have modified the physics.

Standard install (full) from the CD with the standard F1RC.exe file and CD
Rom in the drive.

F1RC actually starts so I select multiplayer but there are no races listed.

The only thing I can suggest is to check the contact page at the relay site,
post at the relay forum, and post at the HG forum. The program is still
beta, but Schumi feels most of the bugs have been worked out.

Hi Ian,

Goto: Options > Settings inside the menu.

The default screen will be your network settings. If you are behind a
router/proxy, we have concessions for such things, and they do need to be
set correctly.

Wasn't able to finish the Network Guide (which will include detailed
Proxy/Router theory, and application technical notes), so I have to explain
it in here.

Please accept my apologies for the lack of documentation... I was not well
the past couple of days, and I launched the soft with my pillow and cough in
mind.

We'll bring all the docs up to snuff, and in the meantime, pick that Proxy
option that best suits your LAN. You should then be able to play.

If you have any more problems connecting, I will do everything in my
power/time to make sure you get playing in the shortest period possible.

If you have anymore problems... please post in the Relay Forums... we check
those hourly at least, and we browse this NG and other forums when we need a
break from work, and jump into "simplayer mode" for a few minutes
irregularly.

Cheers,

Jason 'Schumi' Murray

Schumi, thanks for sorting my prob out in relay chat. You are a true gent :)

Just for information to the group: The admins at F1RCRelay spent a lot of
time helping me out last night, it's greatly appreciated. A great program
that makes F1RC playable online at last :)

Credit where it's due.
