I have the bad feeling that these new update, don't change something with freezes, lags, long times to join servers, long time to load tracks, and i don't know why ?
I hope you'll find and fix the problem, because all pilots who join my serv, are crazy with it
Before beta 1.2, all was great, and now.........

Kind Regards.

NB : C'est vrai que c'est curieux cette obligation d'écrire en anglais pour se faire entendre "de tous". Jon je sais que tu fais la liaison partout, et que cela doit de demander un temps de malade, mais bon, n'oubliez pas qu'on est pas censé maitriser tout dans la vie, à commencer par une langue étrangère ou des problèmes techniques itinérants à un jeu, qui sont déjà durs à comprendre pour le commun des mortels, alors si en plus c'est en anglais.....!! Allez pas perdre vos plus fidèles supporters dans l'affaire...

I have updated servers and client now... I connected successfully to both TM2: Canyon (Time Attack) and ShootMania Storm: Royal.

I played through three maps on Canyon with ~5 players and had no problems with map changes.

On Royal, I was the only player but the initial snapshot delta times already look better. I'm excited to see how it goes when we hopefully load the server up tonight.

Thanks for the update!

Well, I didn't get to play ShootMania tonight, but we played TrackMania 2 Canyon rotating between Rounds mode and Time Attack mode with XASECO 2 and my own TournaMania plugin running. The server had 13-20 people the entire time and it ran great for us (players came in from all around the world.)

That is my report, but I understand others aren't having the same luck. I'm not sure what I can share to help but I'm running the server on:

Intel Core 2 CPU (1.8GHz - NOT Duo)
2GB RAM
Windows XP Professional SP3

I'm running concurrently a Mumble server, TM2 Canyon Time Attack server and ShootMania Storm Royal server on it.
We had 5 people in the Mumble server while we played, and 0 people in the ShootMania server as far as I know.

My bandwidth is 30Mbit down/6Mbit up and I configured both ManiaPlanet servers for:

Code: Select all

connection_uploadrate: 5120
connection_downloadrate: 10240

Hope that helps. Sorry to hear about those of you with less fortunate circumstances while playing with this latest update.

Same problem here:
Can't join most of the servers cause the client (or server) is freezing during connection load (and yes client is updated and the servers too!). Also even if i could connect with my up2dater client to an up2date server and play there, in some cases the client (or server) is totaly freezing during mapchange!

Resume:
Old Server and Client version: working fine (except the player-join-freeze-bug)
New Server and Client version: more problems and bugs then before

Question:
Even if i know that the client update is optional (and to be sure that 50-80% are anyway installing it):
Why isn't nadeo therefore making beta-tests for even beta-clients which last several weeks to ensure that we still can play after publishing "bugfixes"?

Sorry ... needed that sarcasm right now

After the update of the client and server the game crashes when trying to connect to the server on the first screen of the game ( favorite servers ), when going onto the third screen all is ok. ( Canyon )
I have received this error from a few players, i also have the same issue.



Is downgrading an option ??

I dont think so, because then you couldn't connect to server which are upgraded for the new client as far as I know.

Then we should downgrade the servers too! ... Ok just kidding
But i don't think nadeo will act fast enough to bring up a bugfree server version by time
