Hi again...
Just trying to pass on some stuff I've encountered racing N3 online for the past
few nights. Don't want to put it all in one post.....so as not to "confuse" the
possible answers and solutions.
When Hosting only:
The track textures are muffled...or garbled (not turned off by inadvertent use
of the numeric "texture toggles" on the keyboard during chatting....which is
another separate issue/problem)......and I see all of the other "racer's" smoke,
dirt, crash debris, skid marks, etc.....on my track....but not their
cars.....while I'm making my qualifying run. Its kind of hard to qual well
running through blinding white smoke....you know? My replay will also show my
car....and all the other cars "over-laid" over mine...on my track. This is
interesting...never got to see how people qualified in N2. Easy to catch the
guys doing "funny money" stuff during qual this way! lol Is "Huggins" racing
on N3....????
Anyone else having this "fun" little problem? Any fixes? Any ideas for fixes?
This is actually kind of an amusing "bug".....but not when the "league" racing
starts....it will lose a good portion of its "humor factor."

I too see this during qualifying. Mostly I see dirt from people
getting in the grass.
I dont know or think there is a fix for this problem (yet)

This has happened both on host and join side for me.
I haven't had this happen in qualifying but it happens frequently in
races. Nothing like driving a great race and having some car
magically appear 1' in front of you at a dead stop then the twit
starts screaming at you about it. It's also odd that I can see cars
hit the wall, spark like crazy, start to spin then seem fine in 30
frames or so (about 3/4 of a second). Are they crashing or aren't
they?

Hydrogen and Stupidity.. The two most universal elements
I don't have a solution, but I've experienced the exact same thing
including hearing impacts with the wall while playing on the LAN in N2
and N99. I think it is just more obvious with the neat new smoke :-)
I never checked a replay in N2 or N99 though, I'll check that out.
