Modem racing problems in N2

by Kenneth Greie » Thu, 22 May 1997 04:00:00

When connecting with my buddy in N2 to modem race, the calling computer
will experience AI cars disappearing and reappearing, also the spotter
seems to talk about wrecks and cars spinning in front of you that aren't
there.  We have tried reducing graphics, cars heard, no spotter, and even
set the field to only 5 cars and they still disappeared and came back.
Would this be in our connection or could something else be causing this
that could be fixed?  We can run N1 with no problems.  We get latency
numbers from .06 to .13 in both N1 and N2.  The .13 says "Poor connection"
but N1 will  still run fine for us at .13.  Thanks for any help or
suggestions.

Which version are you running, we used to get the same thing even with
a .10 latency but we found the problem.  It was version 1.21  we
reinstalled went back to 1.2 and problems were gone. This could
possibly be your problem. I may even still have the 1.2 upgrade around
here somewhere if you need it E-mail me and i'd be glad to send it.
