I am really enjoying the new build with LR and the skippy. Unfortunately, whenever I go online I see lots of cars replaced by the grey "temp" car. I suspect this has to do with my graphic settings. I upped the "number of cars visible" to 30, but the problem still persists. My specs: i2500k OC to 4.2 2x 560Ti in SLI 8 Mb RAM triple screen I apologize if this question was already addressed elsewhere in the forum. Thanks!
Temp cars are loaded when a new client joins the server and you are on track. The reason is to load a very low poli car in order to avoid the "join lag", which happens when you are on track and a detailed car is loaded. When you return in garage, the game loads the detailed car. Such join lag is a phenomena which happens in any online game, and the most of the software houses use a workaround to minimize the issue (ISI chose the temp cars, other racing sims have invisible cars etc)
