Hawaii bugs & wishes

3 posts by 3 people · 02 May 1996 - 06 May 1996

Bug #1: (Last week) I admittedly joined a race after it had formed. It was either in practice or right at the end of practice/start of the qualify phase. It let me join, but gave me a "packet" error. I think I did do some practice, but did not see my name in the F2 standings list of cars on the track. It let me qualifiy. Then the race started and I was in a class my myself. Meaning, I was the only one in the race. I raced a few laps then exited. Bug#2: (Last night) I think it was "Transmission Timeout". I was in the middle of a race. One second I was racing. Then the guy in front of me disappeared. Then I was kicked out of the race. I have no idea if the race continued without me. I was tired, had some other stuff to do before bed and so I just got out. Funny thing though, this was about 3:00 EST. About 4:00, I walked by the phone and noticed the red light was on. I picked up and switched to that line, it was a modem carrier. A quick glance at the fax machine, it was idle. No other computers powered on. It was talking to the same modem I was using with the hawaii multiplayer one hour earlier. Probably still talking to hawaii? But I exited the software? I think the "transmission error" threw me out of the race scheduler, since I do not remember seeing if the race was still going on, but I remember exiting the software. Why did it not hang the phone line up? Oh well, what's one more hour. If my wife is going to kill me anyway, it can't hurt any more. Wish: Can Papyrus shadow the Hawaii BBS files on their FTP site? Some of us have excellent internet access, and long distance charges do not apply! Question: Sometimes I see a blue and silver car sort of faintly up in front of me. I remember seeing it during bug#1 above. I have seen it other times before also. It does not follow any line. It can warp from down low to up high at will. Very unusual. -- Best Wishes!!!
