Jeremy Miller tweets (Senior Programmer at ISI)

Again, if you look at the post right before yours, you will see one reason While probably not too many, there are at least a few of us here who would prefer not to be using Windows at all and we see no reason to upgrade because RF2 would literally be the only thing that would benefit from it. The benefits of upgrading to Win7 don't justify the cost involved in my case at least.

 

Thank god you at least moved on from the C64 else I suppose you'd expect the rest of us to be happy playing "Revs" in 2013.

 

I think no one has demanded support for XP in this thread... It's ISI's decision to support XP because there are potential customers there who could bring money. Simple business thinking really. It would be silly to say no to money

 

if there was ever a thread that reeked of "well I haven't got it so it's not important!" it's this one!


ISI support xp...deal with it.


Now back on topic, what's Jeremy tweeting today anything?

 

Nope. He is a quiet man. No news means, nothing worth sharing to say. Most likely we will hear from him by the end of the week if he fixed xp issue. Weekend of internal testing and new build at the begining of next week. It's my prediction.

 

I hope for some good stuff Especially alt-tab crash being fixed. Tho the previous build made me super happy with triple screen replay support

 

on servers where SC is SLS Mercedes alt+tab problem dont exist

test on server: www rF2Live pl ~ F1 League

 

How you set SLS as SC?

 

I think you're halfway there as in I think it's a safety car issue. I've done a little testing but as I don't have a remote dedicated server I can only host and join from the same pc so I don't know if this might affect my results.

What I've found is you need to specify a safety car when making a (v)mod. If the (v)mod you're using doesn't specify a safety car then it seems whatever car is at the top of the 'Available Opponents' list gets used as a safety car instead.

To sum up, if I use a (v)mod that specifies a safety car then fullscreen alt+tab seems to work. If I use a (v)mod that doesn't specify a safety car then I get a 100% fullscreen alt+tab failure rate.

 

Thanks for the vid MJP.

 

Thank you !

When you do a vMod, do you need to choose the Talent file and the sound file from the cars you selected ?

Yeah I guess so, you could try the without the Talent fie if you dont race offline but it's best to add, Sound is obviously needed

 

ok thx
I was wondering because MJP did not selected them

AceLain

 

no problem, not sure what happens if you dont to be honest as I always add them anyway!

 

Thanks. It worked. Nicely done.

 

TBH I haven't tested to see if the Talent file is needed as I don't race offline so it's possible the AI could be affected. As for the Sound I've found it doesn't matter if you choose it or not so I no longer bother to choose it.

Build 227 looked very good might make a minor change but that will not warrent a retest. been testing since 10 pm, 1 am now

Jeremy when we get the next build ?

 

Erm...

When it`s ready...?

 

And two days later: "Jeremy Miller @jeremymmiller 31 maj

Well build 227 did not pass the windows XP test. I wanted a quick release but looks like things might be on hold this week."

This tweet is JUST above the one on his tweeter page.

When it comes to Jeremy, no news means nothing important to say. When this problem is fixed, Jeremy will let us know.

Patience.

 

Erm...

Yes !
