Can anybody advise whether this actually works; whether lag is OK, and any particular things to look out for? A gang of us here in Thailand play GP3 and would like to go head to head. Thanks Hugh
Done it myself, it's not too bad. You can only set the bit rate to a max of 57,600 baud, which is the reason why there is a bit of lag every so-often. VERY strange why multiplayer that is coded specifically for LANs is only able to connect at modem speed...I've never heard of one yet at that speed. You can't get rid of the computer cars (didn't try too hard tho) but it runs pretty well. You can't chat whilst racing tho (unless I'm missing something - Anyone?) which is a pain. Have fun!
