MULTIPLAYER 1.2 - Competition Server changes

Mino can you tell me 2 words about the problem i've had? (Some message above).

Is there something i can do in such situations?

 

Taken out in both the 60 and the 45 minute races. And the second driver that took me out, is registered as "Predator Jock" and his team name is "Wankers Racing" - no way to even find the real people since many register with these fake names. The punishment for deliberate/100% avoidable contact is not nearly severe enough. I am already starting to just let guys past because they keep being way too optimistic on the brakes behind and then shoot off into the runoffs, nearly taking 3 or 4 people out.

 

Any chance this race is logged? Still no bar/ELO logged in my ratings.

 

Hey @Minolin
just had a CP Race at Hungaroring. And there was one guy, blocking 2 drivers many laps, he is getting blue flags all the time. And when i try to pass him, he blocked my also off the Track.
The drivers Name is "D. Freudenberg". I was not the only one who was blocked. it happened in the first half of the race, starting in Lap 7, he pushed me off track in lap 9 and we got rid of him in lap 13, where he before pushed off another guy and then i was able to overtake him.

He called us an idiot.... and so on.

I can send you the replay file, or upload to a filesharing tool if you want. I can send you the link via PM.

 

Hi,
I got another question regarding the CP-rating.
So I‘ve read here that the CP value should have been updated recently, but I have driven about 5 CP races since the update und mostly placed somewhere in the first third. Most of the time I‘m on the second server and in the last race I placed third, but my CP-Rating just remains 0 and on the rating page there are always only 2 bars from I think quite some time ago. Is there a bug with my rating or why isn’t it updating?

 

Cp Rating is broken atm. It is correctly Recorded but not shown as far as i know.

@DennisF89 Are you D. Freudenberg? If yes,what was wrong with you in the Last race?

 

Just registered for the 2nd US race tonight, and when the countdown to free practice ended and I got the "Please refresh" notice, I waited a few seconds and then clicked on the "Refresh Data" button. Is this what we're supposed to do? Because even though I was registered, I then got the red screen saying "Registration full" and therefore was not granted a space in that race*. By hitting "Refresh Data", did I remove the registration? Because if so, then it's really not clear what we're supposed to do when asked to refresh. Why is this step necessary anyway? Why can't I just click to enter, once the timer expires? I'd just like to know, as again it's not clear what the next step really should be. Most of the times I've raced on CP servers, I just back out to the main screen and come back to the multiplayer window, even though that doesn't seem logical either. Some guidance here would be appreciated.

*P.s.: Don't we have more than one server in the US? Can't believe there were really over 25 drivers, as I haven't seen that yet. But still, would be nice to have some overflow in that event...

 

I see. Understandable that you (and we) want the servers to have a certain minimum number in order to be at least some fun.

Too bad our numbers aren’t better over here; the 9pm server was the same story. Maybe it was the track; not a lot of love for Hungaroring, although I quite like it. Or maybe Sundays are just slow...

 

Not a severe problem as Australian Region , No servers at all.

 

Reading this thread I see following problems it should be worked at:
- not enough servers in EU
- too high minimum player limit to open a server
- Australia no servers at all
- when you are told to refresh data, refreshing data does just nothing. Instead you must leave MP menu
Why aren't the data refreshed automatically and you just have to enter?
- CP isn't showing up after the race

 

Can you see the US one? I'm in Melbourne and have been racing on the US server. My pings aren't as good as local obviously (getting 190-200ms) but the netcode is dealing very well with it, even with other players with similar pings. I can only race them on weekends as the races occur between 10am-2pm but it's better than nothing and a big improvement on what we had available to us before. Plus the guys racing in the US servers aren't jerks so that's a huge bonus over public MP

 

Is really good to see over 100 registrations in the EU servers though, it's been a slow burn for us forum regulars to see a revamp of the CP servers and I like the direction they're taking. The main issues for the Australian guys I league race with is half of us can't see the US CP servers and the timezone of the scheduled races, but one step at a time. I'm one of the lucky ones who can both see them and can make midday races on weekends so it works for me

 

Maybe Kunos should think about a subscription model to guarantee everybody that wants to join a CP server can join it.
Neither all europeans, nor all americans and australians can join the servers everytime they would like to.

They need to scale. Now during christmas holiday it seems every evening the ratings don't show up because of bottleneck at the back end.

 

I think it would be better to give the user more information about whats going on and not hide the complexity Maybe a simple live counter of how many people are registering (maybe plus the names) and how&why (see the rating/elo behind it) they are splitted into the different tiers would make this way more understandable for users.

Unfortunately i have to say that IMO it is totally normal that people come to the conclusion CP rating is ****ed when like in my case the CP rating changes either not at all although i have done many races, or the rating changes 3 times in 2 days from 58 to 26 to 68 without racing much and races not showing up in the rating UI or the rating not loading at all... :-(

But still i like to race on the CP servers as all racing experiences i had on there were top notch!

One more question: Is it possible to somehow reconnect to the server in practice/quali if i have a game crash/disconnect?

 

Ok, then I‘ll just wait until this is fixed
No....I‘m D. Franke, so you need to be mad at someone else

 

Thanks for your information on that.
I just shared my own user's experience.
I don't have your deep knowledge of the all system
