MULTIPLAYER 1.2 - Competition Server changes

Quote from first page:

For races with more than 60 minutes duration, we will limit the driver stint time to at least 65 minutes. This means you do not have to do anything except resetting your stint time by entering the pitlane.

New tyres might not be needed but fuel most likely after 80 minutes

 

ahh ok Thanks

 

Well that's disappointing, I was hoping for a driver swap race, is that not possible at all in public lobbies?

Thanks for the info.

 

public lobbies? i think No

CP Race? i hope in the future

 

Hi @Minolin
I don't know if someone already ask for this... Anyway, is quite obvious that the CP servers are working in a better way now with this kind of schedule.

So, Will be possible to have or to see that ingame in some menu, rather than come back to the forum and check for scheduled races?

I mean, is this in the future plan if this experimental phase will be "approved" ?
Thanks

 

another one.
I'd like to race tonight's endurance, but it's a single race, there will be so many drivers and i already know that i will not have any chance to enter into the server. We already know reasons behind this...

But will be possible to follow this race somewhere?
@MrGit@Twitch do you will race?

 

Yea, I'll be racing along with quite a few from my community too, mike/felix/ratz+more will most likely be streaming, so there's bound to be someone in every spilt to follow/watch, aside from everyone being in voice chat giving words of encouragement.. aka trying to put each other off.

 

As I understand it, the system assigns a likelihood that you will finish ahead of lower ranked players, even if they qualified ahead of you. If you do, you get say 1-2* points. If you finish further ahead of more drivers, that will be worth more points.

Finishing where you are expected to would probably be zero points, and lower than expected takes points away from you.

The trick is, there are only so many points available* per race, and these are distributed among all competitors, all of whom have their own assigned rank and are being evaluated as above. It’s a complex system, and so it’s not going to be “finish in 4th, get x points”.

*I have no idea what the actual scale is.

2h Race Registration full try again later!!! is it just me ore the same prob like last time???

 

same for me. registration full. same for friday with Brands Hatch. I have an SA of 78, racecraft of 70 and CP of 58. I never ever got rejected apart from the bug that happened before. now, 2 time since it's meant to be fixed

 

My wildest guess is that CP servers are now more popular and there aren’t enough servers. ‍♂️

 

If i'm not wrong, there's only one race today in CP server. To me it's clear that only few guys can run this evening, cause all the racing's requests are for the same race.

Knowing this, i haven't even tried to enter. I was expecting a full list.
Good for Kunos and for us that multy is more populated, and that more guys want runs into cp servers. But if this is the trend, kunos should add some more server cause if they reject players when players comes, it's almost useless improve the game and try to make it more popular.

Imho

 

It said Server 2/3 in the server I was in, so it seems there were 3.

 

I managed to join the race, SA 92 CP 0. Only my third race on the competition server, I was rejected three times in a row during the week which probably increased my chances to join this time.

I was on server 3/3, full grid at the start but only 11 drivers finished which is a shame since I'm sure there are lots of rejected drivers that would have actually finished the race no matter the result. I haven't watched the replay but 1 or 2 drivers were disqualifed for speeding in pitlane or track limits, the rest probably ragequitted or just left, most of them left quite early in the race. Maybe would be a good idea to implement automatic rejection for a few races for drivers leaving a competition race, in addition to the cut in CP rating leavers get (as described in the first post), just to get more drivers to actually finish the races.

Overall it was a very nice experience, would love more 2h endurance races.

 

It does infuriate me when drivers rage quit. Unfortunately I’m not sure the system is able to determine if the network connection dropped mid race.

 

The quit rate is much lower than regular MP though which is an improvement. I quit a CP session yesterday as I was concentrating on something else, didn't put my pit limiter on while exiting the pits in qualifying and got disqualified (this is the first time I've quit one) and I lost something like 32 ELO and 8 CP, so it's a huge hit to your ratings if you quit. I was spewing as it was at Spa and it would have served as a good practise race ahead of the Spa 2.4 hour league race I have tonight.

Out of interest if you get DQ in qualifying, can you start the race from the back? Or are you disqualified from the whole weekend?

 

If it didn't change, you start from the back.

Anyone know if that's documented somewhere? (It really should be, given the impact on CP rating that quitting seems to have. Most people, with that knowledge, would happily start from the back.)

 

Why should you be DQ for the race if you messed up during qualy ?
