Since I see some rekindled interest in GTR 2 on TE, I propose we pick a track/car combo each week and have a proper race on Saturday/Sunday nights.
This way everyone should have enough time to get comfortable with the combo during the week and hopefully we can have a clean race without any crashes or T1 mishaps.

To further smooth out things, I might also put up a list of guidelines about what is and isn't acceptable on-track behaviour as well as any additional software required.

Anyone interested?
 
Saturday night is preferable. Monday is a working day.

First, please tell me is it necessary to have Windows XP to play the game? I have Vista and I could not see ANY server when you guys were hosting.

Plus, help me out with my steering issue.
 
Everyone interested please install Hamachi 0.9.9.9.

Hmm, don't think so but next time try from XP with Hamachi 0.9.9.9 just to rule it out.

LOL, first we have to worry about getting everyone in the same game. We waste an hour trying to do just that :S.
 
Are keyboard players allowed a handicap? I need traction control for sure, can do without everything else. And given the FUP for Tata, I might have to switch off the torrents and start online gaming instead :P
 
I'm in for Saturday night but now that we know that Rahul will be there, we might as well chuck the whole guidelines and acceptable on-track naan-sens. Whatever you do now, we're still going to have plenty of 1st corner crashes :P

Getting everyone to connect via Hamachi successfully is going to be a headache and I think we should find some other VPN solutions if we can.

TC, ABS, automatic clutch and gears will be allowed :).
I think Hamachi 0.9.9.9 works 9/10 times. If not I will see if I can come up with an alternate VPN.
 
OK, so I tested Hamachi 0.9.9.9 and it seemed to work every single time with different PC's as hosts.
Also the last time me, Rave, Mask and Bottle managed to get in the same game, it was with Hamachi 0.9.9.9 only.

I also suggest we get on a single communication platform because Hamachi 0.9.9.9 has no group chat.
Either MSN, GTalk or IRC will do.
 
^ Which version of Hamachi? Use 0.9.9.9, the newer versions block a lot of game ports.
And whoever is owner of those two TE GTR 2 Networks, please delete them. There are so many inactive players in there, it's choked full.
Better to create a fresh network from scratch.
 
Hamachi 0.9.9 won't install on Vista for me. I've used OpenVPN years back but I'm trying something a little simpler now. It'll be fool-proof! if it works - just needs everyone to fool around with it for a few minutes. You won't even have limitation on number of clients or port blocking of any kind.
 
The one in your post :D It seems like a network issue, my gaming PC is unable to connect to anything, including the router. I'll have to reset the router and take it from there.
