Crashing issues with online racing?
Will GTR Evolution support popular online racing? Helpfully pickup games are easy to find. How about Richard Burns Rally? If not, it's no big deal I guess, but I'm very much aware of how much more fun online gaming is. Is crashing problematic? How do online racing servers cope with that? Is it that some players intentionally crash into you? Or is it that some players are just clumsy? Personally, I wouldn't try to make elaborate rules or calculations, I would try to simplify the thing. However bad, the easiest solution would probably be to let cars run through each other. Another might be to make them like bumper cars so that you can force someone off the road but it doesn't disable/cripple them. Or maybe prevent cars from passing through each other but otherwise there would be no damage or recoil. -- The first big front wheel rollerblades. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27532210@N04/2565924423/ |

The problem is a basic lack of racecraft on behalf of 90% of on-line racers. They do thing like: 1. Try to win the race on the first corner. 2. Punt slower cars because they follow them into corners on the same line 3. Join the track at 90 degrees in reverse gear after an off. 4. Weave to stop people passing. 5. Block while still getting up to speed after an off. 6. Think the blue flag is a signal for a slower car to pull over onto the grass for them. 7. Get enraged if someone passes them fairly and have to put them off at the next corner. 8. Show a basic lack of respect for their fellow racers. My mate raced the Megane on race2play the other night, and some ****wit, who was so slow it was stupid, kept crashing, limping to the pits, then coming out and touring around and was unable or unwilling to leave room for lapping cars. He clearly didn't know the tack, but didn't give a **** that he was spoiling things for others. He crashed a number of people out and didn't even say sorry. There really is no hiding place from these ****s. They even have them in iRacing. |

Other people's good behaviour allows them to take more risks without getting hurt. Still, wherever there are humans there is human nature. You'll never change that. At least in iRacing there's a chance persistent offenders will get slapped or booted or promoted out of your way. Andrew McP |

No one in their right mind would reverse into the path of on coming race cars, but in sim racing you can get away with it, so people do it. They'll do all manner of unrealistic things and then moan that a particular track is unrealistic because one of the advertising hoardings is in the wrong place! ****s, the lot of them!! |
