F1RCRelay problem

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. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers>

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. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers> "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:v_fi7.141484$[email hidden]... > It only works with the original .exe and the CD in the drive. > > You can't be running the no-patch .exe, or have modified the physics. > > David G Fisher > > "Ian P" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:9mbiu3$io5$[email hidden]... > > 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 ?

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.

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. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers> "Schumi" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Hi Ian, > > Goto: Options > Settings inside the menu.
