SCGT on Lan.. What's the Max. players possible?

I may be running it at a Lan Race meet soon. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience of it..? Does it run well..? Any tips for setting it up..? Thanks.. James

Hi James, I only have experience over the internet: Max is 8 drivers. 1) The fastest machine should host. 2) Turn your graphics/resolution down 1 notch on the clients. 3) Racing in the rain causes more warp, but is holy-moly fun! 4) The host should test different data-rates. The readme said a higher data-rate isn't necessarily better because it might flood a slower machine. I used 4 to 10 with success over the net. 5) Don't use AI cars, but you can try them if you wish after the "bare-bones" test. Bare bones test: 640x480, detail low, no mirror, data-rate of 4. If this doesn't work, try changing hosts. If that fails too, you might have to race heat-style with 4-6 drivers in a race. Have fun, Jason. James Pickard wrote:

Over Christmas I had two P3-850s connect via a Linksys cable modem router playing SCGT at 800*600 with most graphics very high and had NO trouble with SCGT. I saw absolutly no lag. Now my pedals . . . that is a different story. Why SCGT has to be so dificult in that matter I will never know. SLG "James Pickard" <[email hidden]> wrote:
