I think Im already in the negative point range for calling the season car the Prada, oops there go some more points.

I've coded it up and tested on some of our recent races, and it jumbles up the grid quite a bit for race 2. The pressure will be on to bank at least 2 good laps in qually.It looks at your second best legal qual lap - i.e. lap without a cut in it - just to add a little more pressure. You won't want to be throwing qual laps away with cuts.

I dont ever recall your connection having issues recently and your car has looked fine whenever Ive been around you.If your having frame rate issues maybe play around with some display settings, one thing that can cause big frame drops is v-sync if your pc cant render above the refresh rate so it may cause extra stutters or drop frame rate in half if it falls below the displays refresh. Maybe experiment with fps caps just above your refresh rate instead of v-sync as this has less issues when the system drops a few frames in heavy traffic. It may cause some screen tearing but its either some tearing or bad fps drops.What cpu and gpu are you using? Also what resolution and refresh rate are you playing at?If you run a big field of AI does it also have the same issues or is it only in mp with a larger field?

I experienced big, erratic FPS drops with vsync on in the Nvidia control panel as it jumped abruptly from 60 FPS to 30 FPS. Now, I have fullscreen unticked and vsync on in AC, and no vsync in the Nvidia control panel. You could try that combination, with a big field of AI.

I turned off the in game V-Sync and am currently using the 'Fast' option in the nvidia control panel, which I think is quite new as I hadn't noticed it before. It just drops any additional frames your monitor can't render, so you don't get tearing and minimal input lag (apparently). I've been running it for a while and seems good.It's definitely not a server issue though, unless it's the lag you see when somebody joins the server as that still seems to happen due to minorating.

The prac server runs the old MR auth and local cache and I havent seen any join lags, this is the same for the tuesday and thursday servers.The other XGN Marty's servers are running the new auth amd I did see some random warps last night. Some on join some when people werent even joining but I will revert these back to the old cache method to to see if thats what caused the random warps as a test.

In all the laps practicing in the server with the f138 a couple weeks ago I never saw a single join lag, my first mp session this week though I noticed random warps but dont know what is exactly causing these as they were not only when someone was joining.

I don't know how ports are configured for the auth cache. But I'll turn the pit server off soon in any case.

I don't know how ports are configured for the auth cache. But I'll turn the pit server off soon in any case.Still seems unlikely as the pit server was running already with the f138 when that was up on the prac server, the times Ive checked the server MR auth was working and the auth lines on all servers seem fine as I just checked. Possibly the pit server may have an auth line in it with no MR that could cause issues but I couldnt find where the server cfg is for the test server so didnt check.
