Hi people.

I have a problem with long tracks such as NOS, Targa,... (yes, only long tracks)

I´m driving with several people, passed 10-15 mins (allways simikar time), they cant see me, I keep watching them, and ABB website shows me still in map (while moving).
Passed few secs/mins server says them "user left the game" and I see them frozed.

My router its loggin all possible and it shows no disconections neither on DSL or Ethernet, so I guess connection cuts are discarded.
I have a bad connection, 60ms 3500kbps/380kbps, but never have had that problems. I dont know if ABB server needs better connection or kicks me if I dont have it.

I´ve been testing when frozes other people, and, at least in NOS70, its when they start a new lap (I see their car frozed starting a lap).

Hi agm,

did you try "always rebuild HAT"? Autoupdater/Tweaks/Profile

Glück auf!

Will try, Thank you

Tried "allways rebuild HAT".
Same problem still...
Thanks anyway

I´m testing to play with my mobile connection by no luck neither, as it disconnects itself.

Hmmm,

4GB patch in use too?

Glück auf!

Hi,

question:

did you try "always rebuild HAT"? Autoupdater/Tweaks/Profile]

the funktion of the HAT Files is explained in the Autoupdater, but what is the function of BCH files ?

4gb patch is in use. I cannot charge targa if its not installed.

Some news. I´m using right now a USB 3G stick, wich gives me a 68ms 4250kbps/4030kbps connection.

With this connection this has happened.
Practice ok -> Qualy ok -> Race:
Lap 1, I end 1st but when the last arrives lap, it "kicks" me to the last possition.
Lap 2, I´m on last possition, but when the 1st ends lap (that exact moment), I stop watching other players and secons later it says "byAGM left the game".

One question... Both Targa and NOS70 (where server "kicks" me) are in ABB server 8. Could be possible to have a server problem or to have the server programmed to send bigger data packages? EDIT: tested NOStourist on server 4. Same problems. Long tracks are que thing...

Thanks for reading.

Hi,

can you test with a Lan-connection?

And what is about the energy settings of the networkadapter? Perhaps windows will set them to energy saving after some time.

Thanks for your answer.
Actually I am on "full power" energy setting in windows.

I´ll try a Lan connection, but I´ll need to install gtl in other pc to create a race with other server instead of my own pc.

Anyway, it bugs/kicks me with USB 3g connection too... Tryed with WIFI, Ethernet and USB3gStick.

On my mind its this question: why It allows me to play in not-long tracks without any problem?

I´ll keep informing. Thanks.

Tested with other PC, same problem.
Tested in Brno65 (long track too..), same problem.

No more ideas...

Glück auf!

Hi,

looks like timeout/energy saving or somthing else for network inaktivity about this time.

GTL ist very sensible for this - don't know which component(s) of your equipment may cause it.

Which Version of windows did you test?

I´m as allways on Windows 10 (comp.10240).
I´ve tryed in 2 different PC-s.
In both PC-s I´ve try with Lan, Wi-fi, and 3Gusb. None of then works. (3g usb has 80ms ping, anyway seems to work little bit better (server disconnects me later with 3g).

Since a pair of months I have a new connection at home.
Ping 60ms
Down 3500kbps
Up 380kbps

Yes, 60ms its not a good latency, but its not unplayable.

Could be possible to configurate servers to allow worst quality users? (I mean, in connection XD)
Or maybe my any .ini file to have any data packaging configuration to work better.

As said, the strangest thing is that that only happens in long tracks. In short tracks sometimes happens that my car is jumping in box when I get into.

Ty rdjango.

PD: I´ve no more PC-s/mobiles connected to my router (checked on DHCP table of ther router)

PPD: I´ve no disconnections or microdisconnections on my router as I log all routing movements and I barely see disconnections from 3 to 4 days.

Hi,

very difficult. Your equipment should work. I allways have disconnects sometimes, but not especially on long tracks. 3 laps on brno did work on saturday twice.

So you can try tools like traceroute, wireshark or others to find more about the problems with your connection. Also in other game-forums I found a few years ago some tipps about disconnections and windows 7 or 8, maybe you find some for windows 10.

greets

rdjango

Never heard about wireshark. I´ll try.

About disconnections, yes, sometimes network disconnections happens, but the thing is that my connection never disconnects. Its kinda automatical: I only can make 2 laps and in the 3rd kicks me. It happened me in NOS with LMC. Same happens me in Brno65, I exit from pit, complete 1st lap and frozes my car in server (I keep playing on my pc, as it doesnt tell me "you´ve been disconnected" ). I check it by watching ABB server map.
Sometimes happens too that I get in to the server and my old "frozed player" still keeps in, so sometimes I see 2 byAGM-s on server during few secconds.

I dont know if I´m gonna solve this, by the moment hope all this helps somebody to solve its connection problems.
Next days I´m gonna try wifislax and lets try with another connection... yo know...

Thanks for the info, Rdjango

Hi agm,

Did you try a fresh reinstall of GTL? I remember that !Dirk had a similar problem, disconnect after one lap...

Best regards

Hi,

perhaps - did you try a new profil? Helps sometimes with several Problems.

Hi AGM

some long years ago i had connection with 2Mbit.
On long tracks I had similar probs. Long tracks have bigger size, f.ex. NOS Tourist 119mb. Most tracks are between 20 - 40mb.
Try "bigger" connection, 10Mbit for me is enough, works fine.

That info is great. The thing is that I really have litte better connection than before (I had 1mb and now 3,5mb), and before I could play without problems. I'm pretty sure the problem is done by Latency. With more download connectio I could have better latency, but where I live now I cannot have better connection copper doenst pay more than 3.5 and companies still doenst bring me optic fiber.

Thanks for your experience info. Thats very nice for statistics of connection needed.

Nope. I've tried a new instalation in other PC but with the same username.

I'll try. Thanks

On NOS race with LMC I played with a laptop with new instalation of GTL.

I think I'll try a new instalation but without configurate anything...

Thanks!

News about disconnections on long tracks.

Like it happens on NOS and such as a big tracks, Brno65 has the same problem for me BUT after tens of tests yesterday I've try to make a 3 lap race against Shaggy. I just disconnected my TS and... voilà... server allowed me to end the race counting me all laps.

I dont know if this means that its the solution, but its the biggest step since disconnections started to me in long tracks.

Some data:
I have make a tracert to game1.bierbuden.de and it shows me 12 steps with a 89ms final ping.
My server connection ping is 70, so its 70ms+19ms.
I have ask to other racer from Argentina to make a tracert and it shows him 18 steps with a 239ms final ping. His server connection ping is 12, so its 12ms+227ms.

Mine: 70ms+19ms (problems playing)
Him: 12ms+227ms (no problems playing)

(ms=miliseconds)

Hi AGM

I had similar problems with my old computer. When TS was opened, FPS go down to 25-30. Same, when Firefox was opened. But no probs with connection, I have 10Mbit. TS and Firefox maybe use connection resources.

Hi byagm,

maybe I got a solution for your Problem:

if you got a smart-phone, you can easily use Teamspeak on your Phone instead of using it on your Computer! It works really fine and stable! I will try this solution as well, especially at Brno65, just to improve my fps. And live-tracking will run on another PC/Laptop as well, so my main-PC can fully "concentrate" on GTL

I tested this solution now a few times and it works really fine. Maybe you should try this as well. I keep my fingers crossed for you!

with kind regards

Have you allready tried it byagm?
