Yup. We only have one active TS server unless something happens to that one.

LiveRacers is down. If LR doesn't return then we will run a two flying lap private quali in the morning.

I will try to run this, but I may not be on for long. Since yesterday, every time I launch rFactor and get on a server, within 5-15 minutes it will minimize for no reason I can find. Any ideas?

What if you race in a non-online session?
Have you accidentally mapped a button to something that would mimimize the active window?

For some reason my internet explorer was running 5 processes at a time and each one would minimize my game as it dumped it's temp files. problem is I'm not even running ie at the time. So I decided to remove it alltogether. and now none of my rFactor or Simbin games will run. It's now 7:30 am and I still have not got it working right, plus no sleep. So I will not be making the race unless a merical happens. sorry for the crappy discription, but I can't type on this laptop for shit.

was a great race while it lasted  was looking forward to seeing if F1 used up his tires  unfortunately one should always be suspicious of a quiet pup... never thought an HDMI cable would be so tasty  |

Huh first time I have been on podium pace from the off and dumped to desktop, totally wrecking my front end. Ran enditall at the start as well...Guess it must have missed something. It is ridiculous really that a game can lose focus for any reason. How hard can it be to see a program is getting a constant input so is obviously the main focus of the user and ensure nothing makes that program minimise. It's a huge flaw in Windows that there is no excuse for.
Still I do take comfort from the fact that even with a clutch that comes on and off at random, a brake signal that is jumping around, for one track and one race I was actually leading for a while and on the pace. My fuel strategy was actually spot on but thanks to that CTD I had to pit two laps early so to add insult to injury I ran out of fuel LOL

Yeah, I was thinking the same. It's ludicrous that Windows doesn't have an option for locking focus. Several times a week I get annoyed by a program's dialog box that won't release focus until I close it yet just about anything can minimize a running full-screen game?

K, finaly found out what was going on, There was an IE 10 download mixed in with the normal critical downloads from Windows Update. Aperently it is not compatible with another program that is on Window 7 64bit. So it installed, but was corupted. When I finaly figured it out and uninstalled it, it left behind a ~5.0001 file on my system that started blocking any and all games and some windows system files. So I am in the process of reinstalling all my stuff at the moment, because I had to reinstall Windows. I hope to be fully running intime for the DRM race tomorrow. Still have not been to bed.  |
