Phil has loaded his setup on the stracker server. It's really good!!!

Any chance you could reload it, I took it down to change it to a new setup, then stuffed it :)) and didn't save it

Wally, you have the same "odd" split time as I do ie S3=19.xxx rather than 30 something like everyone else. Seems to indicate there is a track version difference that is not being checksum'd.

The funny thing is that the track checksum is only working on the surfaces.ini, it really should also check the other track files to ensure all have the same version. If the track is updated but surfaces stay the same it will pass and you may have different track geometry.

As a test I will try and upload all the track data and see if that then makes a checksum off all files, though its 500MB or so for this track so not an ideal solution. The acserver manager should just do a check of all local content then create a checksum file for the server to upload with all files and not needing to upload all the files to the server.

I'm guessing that it only ever checks the surface.ini even if the other track files are present.

What version are you running? 1.11?

Is the server up? I'm having trouble seeing it... it's not password protected is it?  :(

Server currently down as I am uploading all the files as a test, should be back in a few minutes but my upload speed is a bit slow.

What version are you running? 1.11?

The test just proved no matter what files are there, the only files checked are both surfaces.txt car physics.acd or fder and DRS.ini if its included.

Yep, that's certainly what you see in the server logs.

You do know there is a chicane at the end its not just a straight bit of road with a couple bumps and some softer tarmac.  ;D

I will double check the track version I am but before putting this up I went to racedpartment and downloaded the latest version. Unless its had an update since last tuesday it should be the current track build.

OH. THAT chicane!!!

That is the version I downloaded. Do you mind checking the readme.txt file in the track's folder? That should have the 1.11 changelog in it.
