For reference, Tuomo is right, the result GR gives in-game is accurate, but because the replay is recorded with a low FrameStep, not every frame that GR produces is saved into the replay file (that's the point of that 'feature'). The last frame and the results differ for that reason.
TuomoH wrote:The problem is that the competitions use the FrameRate = 5 setting to have reasonable sized replays. In other words, the replays work at 20 Hz level. To get them work at 100Hz level, which responds to the 0.01s differences the game supports, and not have problems such as Areen reports, the replays would be 5 times bigger than they currently are. As long as competitions use the current FrameRate (which is wise to save the space, bandwidth etc) we have to live with this problem.
Problem
Observed in v1.2? Yes

Observed in v1.05? Yes
Game shows wrong winner of the race, when the distance between two racers is very small.

Expected Behaviour
The game should show the real winner.

Reproduction
It's very rare case. This picture shows it well:

not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCR100.dll

And in v1.05 I have glitches with the colours

Expected Behaviour
This error message should not show

Reproduction
Double click the executable
Error message shows

Game sometimes crashes while trying to add human player to racers list. When I relaunch game and go into my (player) statistics, I can see integer overflow in window. Please note that I had some circuits before game started to crash.

Expected Behaviour
The game should not crash when trying to add human player to racers list.
The game should not mess up my driver statistics with integer overflow.

Reproducible: sometimes (sorry, this kind of bugs are hard to reproduce)

Reproduction
Click on human player to add it to list.
If you're lucky - game should crash. Then relaunch game and go to your driver (the one that crashed game) statistics to see integer overflow.

James wrote:Under consideration. We'll look into suitable solutions for this - though your idea of disabling the limiter after 30 seconds seems like it might be a good idea. No promises on a fix, but we'll do our best :)
I don't know if this is a real bug, please comment on this:

Problem
Observed in v1.2c? Yes
Observed in v1.10c? No
Observed in v1.05? No

Situation: In a race with AI's, I want to go to the pits. Unfortunately I collidie with an AI and he is pushed into the pits as well. Then he passes the speed limiter, but he want's to go back on the track, because he still follows the normal race line. If the AI manages to come back on the track, he will drive along the circuit with activated pit speed limiter, because he didn't passed the end of the pits.

Expected Behaviour
Two possibilities: 1. The AI should make a pitstop, although he didn't needs one
or 2. The speed limiter should be switched off, when the AI drives on the racetrack (maybe there should be a limit of 30 seconds, and after that limit the pit speed limiter is switched off automatically).

Reproduction
That happens not very often. There are not many tracks, where this situation is possible.

Not sure why, but I've been noticing some issues recently that I hadn't before. I've spent quite some time today trying to replicate them, but I can't figure out what causes them as they sometimes just occur... I realise neither of these are detrimental to the game, but thought they were worth mentioning anyway.

Problem
Observed in v1.2c? Occasionally

Observed in v1.05? No
When setting up a championship, the first race starts immediately without demonstrating the lap record box.

Expected Behaviour
The game should, upon clicking the 'start' button show the first track with the track record detail box, but sometimes this doesnt appear and the lights start going out straight away.

Reproducible: No, it just seems to happen sometimes. I've tried with tracks where a previous record exists and tracks I've never raced on as the first event, but it doesnt seem to make any odds, just sometimes it happens and I don't know why.

Reproduction
Set up a championship, click start, if you're lucky it will occur

When exiting a season mid race, hitting the return key on the confirmation dialogue box causes the game to exit fullscreen mode.

Expected Behaviour
Game should remain in fullscreen mode if this option is checked.

Reproducible: Again occasionally, but more frequent than issue 1

Reproduction
Ensure Fullscreen mode is checked. Set up a championship, click start, part way through the race, pause and click end season. on the confirmation box that appears, hit the return key on the keyboard. The screen goes black for a split second and returns in 'windowed mode' but the window in my case is larger than my screen. I then have to go to the options menu to re-tick fullscreen mode.

When I try to edit a track using paint, on my desktop computer, importing the lmap back into TE works fine, but when I try to import an lmap into TE on my laptop, the lmap that is displayed is all black and white (see image attached).

Expected Behaviour

Importing lmaps into TE should function normally in full colour

James wrote:Rejected. And yes, we do read these :p
Does anyone actually read these anymore?

Problem
I simply can't drive as fast with other cars on the track. No matter how fast I drive with the same settings,
my lap times are always slower when racing against others than when doing a time trial alone, and it's not due to traffic.
The car feels not as grippy as when driving alone.

Observed in v1.2? Yes
Observed in v1.10c? No idea
Observed in v1.05? No

Expected Behaviour
You should be able to drive as fast with other cars on the track as if you drove alone.

Reproduction
Choose a car, a track and enough laps.
Go drive alone.
Keep your eye on the lap times.

After you've finished, keep everything the same except that you choose one or more AI against you.
Alternatively, choose another human driver and drive the car off the road.
Go drive again.
Let the AI go for some time so you don't catch them very soon and have free room to drive.

No matter what you do, you simply aren't able to do as fast lap times.

The game crashes when I end a few 1-race-seasons after each other (always happens to me when I make screens for Car of the Month). However when I use the "end Race" button it doesn't crash.

Expected Behaviour
The game should not crash when I end 1-race seasons quickly after each other, like it doesn't crash when you press "end race" (edit: ok it also crashes with the "end race" button but not so often. I also noticed that it crashes more often if you always keep the same player).

Reproduction

1. Select 1 track and player
2. select a car
3. Start race
4. press f12 while the lights go off
5. press esc before the race started
6. press "end season"
7. repeat steps 2-6 a few times

The game still does not seem to properly save and load timed races. I load a series that is supposed to be 5 minute races, and it is some time greater than 5 minutes. The autosave seems to be the only one that works right most of the time. Named saves often seem to mess up.

Expected Behaviour
Saves should always load with the correct race time.

Reproduction
Start a series with multiple races and time limit setting.
Run one race, then advance to the next race.
Save game before starting next race.
Exit series.
Load series.
Start Race. Time will be incorrect.

Bouncebackability wrote:In addition to puttz post above, the timer seems to reload with the minutes since the save was made added on. I saved my 5 minute race season yesterday, loaded it up to continue today and I had 1504 minutes to go! The timing fits too, about 25 hours after I saved it.
puttz wrote:Yeah, that sounds about right. I had loaded a save a couple of days later and it had thousands of minutes. :shock: What's weird is that the autosave doesn't seem to do it, only when you manually save :shrug:

This is probably a big enough one for me to put out some v1.2d at some point in the hopefully not too distant future.
EDIT: It worked when set compatibility mode to Windows XP. Yet I believe this should not happen. Feel free to disregard this as a bug if you think this solution is enough.

When using a clean install on a clean folder, the game crashes the moment I try to race.
When trying for the second (and later) time, the game crashes at the startup.
Reason of crash: can't find supported resolutions (even if my resolution is not custom and I selected it from inside GR menu)

Expected Behaviour
GeneRally shouldn't crash.

Reproduction
Open the game.

The game adds time in time limited races when started race and you go to menu

Although I set the race distance to 5 mins (+2 laps), the game used the previous settings (20 km) during my following timetrial.

Expected Behaviour
The game should use the race distance that is actually set.

Reproduction
  1. Start the game.
  2. Change the format of the race distance to minutes (+ 2 laps), which was by default set to kilometers.
  3. Change the actual race distance (in my case from 20 km to 5 mins).
  4. Run a timetrial using these settings.
  5. After having completed the timetrial, go back to the main menu and tab out of the game.
  6. Tab back in and choose a new track.
  7. Run another timetrial.
  8. The problem might now occur as indicated by the lap counter. The lap counter should now display the number of laps equivalent to the previously set race distance - 1/39 laps (= 20 km) in my example. There is no 5 minute clock ticking either.
  9. Return to the main menu.
  10. The race distance in the top right corner is still set to what you intended to race (5 mins in my case).
Some of these steps may be irrelevant. It is just a report of what I did when it happened to me. :mrgreen:

Tracks with long names (13+ characters) do not show up at all in the selection screen.
Okay, this might be a long shot, but I think I can remember the tracks being available before, the names were shortened similarly as in DOS window, so: "VeryLongTrackName" -> "VERYLONGTR~1", it might have been only on Windows XP (so at the time it was 1.05 for me), who knows. I hope i'm not making this up.
It happens with folder also, but the limit seems to be at ~20

Expected Behaviour
The track should be listed, with shortened name and selectable.

Reproduction
  1. Create a track with long name
  2. Check if it's visible in tracks selection screen

This sounds more like a problem with the checkpoints on particular tracks. If the trackmaker has set checkpoints so that it's easy to miss them, you may accidentally drive outside of the track and miss the checkpoint so that your lap doesn't get counted. On which tracks do you encounter this problem?
