On the offical gp3 site... www.f1grandprix3.com under Game Overview\Features it says Multiplayer on LAN for 4+... I was wondering what this ment. I checked out the FAQ this was there.... Q. What about multiplayer? A. As well as supporting hot-seat and direct serial link, GP3 will also support a minimum of 4 players via LAN. Let me get this right... you MUST have 4 players to play a multiplayer LAN match? Is it just me or is this really messed up? DjFIL

I think what they are saying is that in a LAN enviroment, 4 players and "maybe" more will be smooth. The minimum they are shooting for is not the # of players, but how many drivers can join before it starts timing out, or crashing because of lost packets etc. 8 is pretty much a default # when LAN users are counted, but they may not be able to guarentee smooth gameplay with that many, so what they are saying is......game play won't suffer with 4 or more players. Thats the minimum # they are willing to accept. If they get 6 playing smoothly fine, that means 2 will run even better. dave henrie DjFIL wrote:

Unfortunately the FIA doesn't allow for Internet-support with their official licensed games...If a developer wants an FIA license, then they're not allowed to provide Internet-support...Why? No idea... -- Kenneth Verburg Webmaster/Editor-in-chief High Gear http://www.simracingnews.com
