It was their problem, so the quote was relevant. Unfortunately, some people will always have fun bashing TEN whatever the case there is with ignorant quotes and immature "cheap shots", who probably make themselves feel better. To go back to the main subject, TEN will not license GPL as one of their game. They are presently refocusing their company (and doing pretty well) with the TEN Family Games, PGL and the NROS. There is no plan to add Grand think this game should be on dedicated servers on the TEN Network, feel free -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -- NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -- May the Downforce be with you...

Wanna bet Mike. I find it hard that my FIVE ISP's are to blame somehow! Mark > You have to realize that it's your ISP! not GPL ;-) > > After my first race online with gpl the warping was so terrible it made me > > realize how nros on ten is so much better, I wont be talking bad about ten

Mark... You have to realize, it's your five ISP's where the problem is. ;-) Every time someone had a problem with TEN, TEN would come back with the standard response... it's not our fault, it's your ISP. That's why I said that ;-) Mike

I took Lol SpeedFreak's advice and reduced my dial-up connection speed from 56k to 33k - it worked like a dream! The new dedicated servers have much lower pings (250-400), but the key seems to be to get good line quality without errors. If you choose a slower connection speed and turn off error correction and compression it works much much better. I've created a new dial-up connection specifically for GPL, using the "Add new connection" icon in the Dial-up Networking section (under "My Computer").

Mark has been there and done that Neil. We've exhausted the options..... Riddle me this. To test the "bad connection" assumption we went back to 1.0 on a "known good" server. And there was Mark again... just as solid as ever. Somewhere along the line GPL's tolerance for less than optimal connections was lost. I hope Randy finds it, we all liked racing Mark.

I agree... I've used two ISP's with GPL (Demon, Freeserve) and with GPL 1.0 both of them were perfect. With 1.1, every race, regardless of which ISP I use, is a disaster. A few weeks ago we went back to 1.0 for the Champs League race at Mosport, and suddenly everything was fine again! -- Cheers! Graeme Nash http://www.karisma1.demon.co.uk ICQ# 11257824
