REPLACED Build 590 Released

[Miro]

What version are you running? No problems here.

1.17 Action and build 590 rF2. Action updates itself I guess automatically. Not sure tho.

Assume it takes you over the 32bit memory limits and/or your system limits.

It worked fine till the recent build. I mean I can't even fire up rF2 if Action is running. Can't be memory then, can it?
But as mentioned in the new UI thread rF2 ctd's also when changing resolution or changing the UI. Maybe it's the same bug, dunno.

However I'd like to record stuff

When you start action, does your screen flicker? Almost sounds like the video card driver is crashing.

No, there is version 1.19 out right now. Usually they will send you an email notifying you of a release of a new version. Try updating, see if it fixes it - can't hurt.

Just did the update thx but sadly still the same issue.

No sir, no flickering. It looks all as usual. When I fire up rF2 from the launcher first I have the small blue rF2 logo sign thing and then the screen goes black. Then I get the massage rF2 doesn't work anymore.

If I alt tab out from rF2 and fire up Action then I can't get back to rF2 and get the same massage.




Edit: Build 493 works fine with action. Just tested it.

 

[Adrianstealth]

rf2 has really moved up a few good notches recently which is great news, does anyone know when the netcode upgrade will be re-implemented / improved etc ??

( for a more fluid/tight online experience )

Use ctrl + c and see that the green bar is not maximum all the time and if it is adjust your gfx options lower and you get rid of stuttering and tearing.

I'm not sure how to read that green graph. I see a horizontal green bar that spans the entire box with rising and falling (kind of rolling) vertical humps.

Edit: Afterburner shows GPU usage wiggling in the 78-83% range.
Honestly the performance with my new 780 really doesn't bother me, that is, I'm not surprised. I just thought I'd reinforce other's comments about seeing what I thought was the infamous "stuttering." I know I'm stressing my card to the limit right now as I experiment with it. I mean I'm running 20 AI with just about everything maxed out.

I must confess i didnt follow this thread so this issue could be discussed previously.

About skins.
We are experiencing a little issue.
When some driver joins our servers with custom skins we all auto-download them.
Problem is that we only see driver skin if he quit and re-join. Is this ok?

 

[Denstjiro]

There are skin issues with this build, one of the dev's adviced to not use the option to exchange skins until next build. (as it also can have an effect on connections)

Fresh install of 590 done. join button still greyed out. So frustrating

ya, it really is.
if its a server i really want to join i shut down the game, fire it up again and then find the server i want and make sure to click it first.
seems the first server i click on works most frequently.

Is it a month like this now? Good thing isi doesnt charge for online services

Just a small update.
With the new RC build install I saw an update on the directX version. I recently installed another sim which also installed a directx version (dx9 also) where I was just wondering why. However now recording works again just fine so my guess is it was due to the directX version.

Hi all, i know im noob, but if i have previous update, with lot of mod installed, and i just want updte the game to the newest 509 build(not the whole game i want install again) how i have to do? I have to download lite, or whole?

I don't know if it is ok but build 590 works like that, you only see driver skin if he quit, re-join, new session or new track.

Just to info, Single GPU cards that can run rFacotor2 with resolution 5040x1050 everything maxed out are still manufacturers drawing board and are not produced yet.

I believe that many do not know what it is stuttering and what is tearing and I don't think Afterburner is good choice to Nvidia cards.
NVIDIA Inspector has better settings , like Vertical Sync Tear Control etc.

 

[Ari Antero]

Thanks Ari,
Its a good solution.
Note that, on my system at least, it only works if I play the game in non-windowed mode.
Leaving the window mode checked in the rfactor2 config makes it stutter like when not using dxtory at all.

rFactor2 NVIDIA Inspector profile has 0x02402005 as SLI compality bits and I am not sure if this is right. I am using 02402001 as SLI bits and AFR2 to my rFactor2 and it seems to work much better.

 

[Philip00]

Download the light version and install over the top of the current build.

Thanks my friend

 

[Adrianstealth]

is there a way of knowing the ping of the server before joining it in multiplayer ??

after trying multiplayer I don't know if I'm joining a fairly local server or one that's on the other side of the planet

 

[Lazza]

No, the browser doesn't show ping yet. I believe it's been mentioned as something that will probably be added at some point.

Afterburner and Inspector aren't really the same sort of program though, i.e. you don't really use one or the other, although they do have some overlap. I use Afterburner for its custom fan control, superior monitoring and the odd bit of video recording I sometimes do. Obviously if you want to play around with more advanced driver options than the NVCP allows then you'll need Inspector too.
