My instance has been up and running ok for quite a few months now so it shouldn't 'bounce'. However, you and Phil should login and copy the stracker database file as a precaution.

There will have to be a season of these, that is a certainty, and use them on the next bye night on Thursday too.

Hi Bruce/Andrew

Looks like I will have to miss tonight's race, bumma! I am getting a "runtime error" trying to join the server. I have done heaps of off-line practice with no probs but had the error trying to join the XGN server. So I tried an off-line race against the AI and immediately had the error with any more than about 6 cars, so it looks as though its not a server problem but my crappy computer.

A bit disappointed as I love this car and have done heaps of praccy and according to RSR I have quite a respectable time.

Have fun tonight and I will look forward to reading the race reports.

cheers guys
rob

Did you check the error logs? You might have a corrupt skin. Any skin that does not have a preview image will crash AC. There is one skin in the Cobra that is a problem - platinum_gold from memory. I realise you are not running the Cobra but the problem may still exist in other skin definitions.

Thanks for the tips Andrew.

I haven't checked the error logs. Don't even know where to look. Lol. I will have to find them and then post in the AC forums. I will delete all but the default skin and see how I go.

Thanks again mate

Rob, Denise suggested turning off the apps.

Thanks Bruce, Denis and Guy.

Tried deleting the skins and running an off-line race with 10 AI and got the error.

I didn't think of deleting all 3rd party Apps, I will try that tomorrow.

Thanks guys.

I found a problem with the car mod.  There were a couple of times tonight where there was a bit of rubbing which didn't quite feel right - as though the collision box was bigger than the car itself.

I was running just behind Gratulin and there was an unexpected tap between the rear of Gratulin's car and the front of mine.  I saved the replay and have taken a screenshot of the exact moment we touched, which shows that we are well clear of each other:

Yeah. Thought it was another warp problem so just 'rage quit'. A real pity because this car and track combo was fantastic. A real hoot to drive. So many blind crests and white knuckle bumpy corners. I'm batting about 3 races out of 10 where I get past the first lap.

I know I go through stages like that

What a pity Rob, your Caterham suggestion was sublime! YOU will need to get this fixed, as there will be more of these little loverlies!
Don't delete the 3rd party apps -- just disable all, and then progress through re-enabling them one by one.
