VEC Introduction to Season 18 - Next chapter, same legacy!

nice to have some info updates about the official practice ? where waiting to finaly race
No idea why it did not come online, it was booked. I am afk so can’t check atm.
I can see if there is any info tomorrow. But thanks Morten for setting one up.
I didn’t book 2 this time - I’ll see if that is the way to go about it.

Not sure why this happened - it was booked and i see it as "linked" meaning it did start up.
Let me create on extra on friday at 20.00 - if someone can check if they can see it and if they want to run an extra practice.

I will be online next wednesday to make sure.
 
''Timeline for driver swaps - Expected to do a test at Fuji (following WEC again), expected to be the last test before roll-out to hosted sessions and other events - Timeline is next couple months for public roll-out'' - Will Bennett (LeMansUltimate & @rFactor2 - Licensing Manager.)

LMU answer question posed at the LMU stand at Silverstone ELMS.

Yeah - thing is we don’t yet know wether it will be rolled out in batches. Those online guys are a bit meh.
Trying to get some answers - if anyone goes to Silverstone feel free to poke at them.
Ben and Will will probably be there

I wouldn’t rely too much on what they say at their LMU stand on race days. Some members of my team met them at Imola in April and they assured the driver swaps+liveries was 100% coming by the end of May. We all know this wasn’t the case.
 
I have noticed from the 6H test races that the replay files are even for the 6H races over 3.4GB, which means you cant open them anymore, and if you are just under it, it will take insane amounts of time to load them. To avoid another incident where we cant review incidents, I have started a suggestion about replay cutting (or I just hope that if it will get enough traction, that they actually will fix their replay system). If anyone is interested I'd like to ask to upvote at least over here One moment, please...

Did you edit how detailed you wanted the replay? But yeah anything that can help replays being smaller would be good.

I havent yet, but will do that, and still wont be enough for 24h races. I will just jump out and rejoin after every stint I guess for now so I can at least view back my stints :D
 
Hello,

Can we change the car before the first race?
For me a season starts with sign up. Rules state
Rules said:
2.5 Teams will not normally be allowed to change car manufacturer during the season.

However i´ll give you that this season start has been a bit different - It is quite the work to set things up, so if anyone wants to do that it has to be now, i´ll give you until sunday at noon (CEST). Changing cars because of updates etc is not going to be a thing.
I have allowed a few to do it because of mistakes on sign up etc. However if you already submitted a livery its a done deal, we have already set things up in the background and there is quite a few things happening.

Contact staff is the only way to do this - since you shouldnt have signed up before you knew what you wanted to drive.

I have a question in regards to this: I stayed on the server for the entirety of the last official 6h of Fuji. My replay size is exactly 3.27GB and indeed the loading time is pretty long, but it is possible to load it. Is 3.4GB the threshold above which replays don't load?

For rf2 it was around 1-1,5gb that was the limit. I can't remember the exact hard limit.
Not sure if they changed anything in the replay loading process - maybe @Devin Braune knows?

Recently I've opened some longer replays of various endurance online races and had no issues opening one that was 6:10h long with 3.7GB file size. It just takes 2-5 minutes depending on hard drive speed to actually do so. There's no technical limit to replay file size, so if any replay can't be opened, a copy of it would be helpful for checking why, and potentially fixing it. That said, there should be no reason for a replay not to load anymore, as the game generally remains backward compatible, content can not be uninstalled and there are no other known restrictions. Merely a corrupt install could cause replays to fail but then that install would be unable to race online too
 
Interesting, did the latest few updates change things by any chance? It seems to load the replays for me as well now and with much greater speed
