Whoa. I sure love the GPL 1.1 patch for solo racing, with FF it's
fantastic. But online racing (via VROC 2.0) is TOTALLY screwed on my
system. This is using a 1.1 installed over a GPL 1.0 with no
mods/upgrades.
My symptoms:
- HORRIBLE warping. I'm not talking about a second here or there. Cars
will warp in from nowhere, or out to the same place. I'm following
someone and they're just gone. The wierd thing is I check the replay
and they're still there, they didn't disappear - go figure.
- More WARPING nightmares: even sitting still cars will warp in and
out. At the starting line they warp. I can't even tell when the race
starts - suddenly cars will warp in 200 feet down the track, already
underway. Then warp back out again 5 seconds later. Or I can be
looking at a staionary car 2 feet away from me after an accident.
POOF, he's gone (not reset, just gone).
- Game/video stuttering. Every 20-25 seconds the game will pause for a
split second. The screen flashes, the force-feedback thumps, like
everything was held up for a second.
- this happens in any race, even with a ping of < 100
My system:
P2 300, 128 MB RAM, Voodoo2 12MB, cable modem
Online racing worked fine on this system with 1.0. I've tried using
both my original CORE.INI (nothing but "alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1")
and the sample one included with 1.1. I've tried all the workarounds I
can find, including the old synch method:
[ Task ]
clock_adj_delay=12
synch_method = 0 ; Client synch method
Any ideas? I can't think of anything else to try.

Hi Joe,
Try using Alison'n new core.ini for 1.1
http://gpl.gamestats.com/download/ali-core.ini
Grab it and rename it to core.ini
Many of us have been using it with good success on VROC with 1.1
at the most you might have to change
clock_adj_delay = 8
to a higher number like 12, but for me 8 has been working fine.
Hope that helps.
Seeyas on the track.
