:sad:
Aqui deixo dois links que fazem alguma luz sobre os eventuais problemas que ainda n foram resolvidos (ao que parece) com o modo online do GTR.
O primeiro da UKGTR
http://www.ukgtr.org/ que diz (cliquem no Season 1 ):
"Season 1 will probably not start until the new dedicated server is released and proven reliable.
Keep an eye on this page for more information."
o segundo uma thread do SpeedGeezers
http://forums.speedgeezers.com/cgi-bin/iB3...T;f=34;t=13611;
onde se discute o mesmo assunto e se pode ler:
"'I'm really not happy to make this announcement, but it seems SimBin is forcing us to do that:
The ISRL has cancelled the new WGTC Season 2005, because it's still not possible to use the dedicated server without needing the CD.
There are also still bugs included which make online races at least very difficult. It seems SimBin isn't able to solve these issues right now.
Several league admins have asked to get informations about the problems and the first reaction from SimBin was:
"Something is coming and the clock is ticking.........
[segue-se relatos de trocas de correspondencia com a simbin, inclusive com o Ian Bell, até essa troca ter ficao sem resposta para concluir:
The conclusion of the story: We aren't able to start the WGTC Season 2005, nor do we know if we ever will be able to have one at all as no one knows if there will be a dedicated server option without the cd-check. They've said that online leagues are important to them, but their reaction do tell me something else: They don't seem to care at all."
Nesta thread todos concordam num ponto: a qualidade do GTR em offline é espantosa, mas a qualidade do online, particularmente para corridas de camp é decepcionante. A minha experiencia com o sim vai ao encontro destas opiniões.
sobre a possiblidade de um dos pilotos poder hostar uma prova, a resposta foi: "you'll need to have a 100 MB upload speed connection in order to help avoid any stutters, warps and freezes. And even then it's stil dependent on the connection quality of the participants. Basically anyone using dial-up is SOL. Broadband is a must for everyone connected and each participant's system should also be able to run GTR from the back of he grid with no less than 25 FPS. !
Não sei portanto quando poderemos participar num campeonato nosso, e se as necessidades de server podem ser resolvidas pondo alguem a hostar....
Resta-nos esperar que apareça o tal patch da aplicação server, ou há alguma coisa contraditório no que fica exposto, que seja desconhecido e que nos permita a nós em Portugal fazer um camp antes dos outros? :cry:
Desculpem o post longo e não muito positivo (água na fervura? ), mas estou tão frustado como todos: pensava alinhar num ou nuns camps de GTR assim que o CD UK chegasse, mas as coisas parece estarem mais complicadas do que parecia... :worried:
