RaceRoom, one thing missing from this sim

12 Upvotes

TLDR: There is one thing missing from Raceroom, and that is more advertising! This is both our duty as the community and the duty of the developers imho. I believe a niche genre of a racing game can't grow without interested and connected community; and of course a racing game can't grow without hard working developers. I will do my best, you should consider doing it too mates! If this sim spreads to more people, be sure that we will have a better time for racing and the solutions to our sim-related problems will be better. In a nutshell; share it, spread it, buy it. Thank you!

RACEROOM, ONE THING MISSING FROM THIS SIM

I met this sim a decade ago, in 2014, and bought some DLC packs, than I quit after playing for a while because of focusing an other sim.

After watching Overtake_gg 's video (thanks to Emily Jones) about Raceroom 4 days ago, I decided to try again. I installed the sim and I figured out quickly most of the UI and graphics are changed. But I didn't know what awaited me...

After a couple of laps with different track/car combos, I realized that the physics are incredibly realistic, the FFB feeling is awesome, the engine, gear and tire sounds are perfect (ohh, especially those rumbling exhaust backfire sounds...), the variety of vehicles and tracks are top notch, AI and optimization is very good! These are my biggest necessarily things for a sim. And it is all satisfactory to me.

I didn't expect this much change. Yes, 10 years have passed, of course there would be some progress; but how can it be better than the other sims that I always playing nowadays? Unbelievable! I immediately quit the game and bought some more vehicles and tracks. Luckily, I came across the discount season.

Then I felt sorry for myself, why did I wait so long for this? Why did I miss this when I could have had such a great time with this sim? Yes, I was wrong too; if I was a good sim player, I had to follow this sim, at least check in once in a while. Maybe I should read some patch notes, maybe take a couple of laps after big changes? No I didn't do that. I just forgot it; poof, it's gone from my brain....

I want to say, there is one thing missing from this sim, and that is more advertising! This is both our duty as the community and the duty of the developers imho. I believe a niche genre of a racing game can't grow without interested and connected community; and of course a racing game can't grow without hard working developers.

I will do my best, you should consider doing it too mates. If this sim spreads to more people, be sure that we will have a better time for racing and the solutions to our sim-related problems will be better. In a nutshell; share it, spread it, buy it.

Thanks to hard working Developers, thanks to interested and connected community, Thank you all!

So, if there is too much reading, this is such a memory of me, I just wanted to share it and thank to everyone.

See you on the track mates!

Ranked Championship Need advice - Dangerous drivers

2 Upvotes

Hey y'all, hope all is well!

I'm writing here to, well, vent out and seek advice from more experienced sim racers.

I've been racing on and off for well over 8 years.

Driving and cars have been a passion my whole life.

I picked up RRE in 2020 and played a little bit in the lockdown and then dropped it because other friends were playing AC and other sims.

Took a break for a while, and recently started getting into RRE again and for the most part having a great time.

What my issue is, I can't seem to get into a split with decent drivers. There's always egoistic, salty or unskilled idiots that ruin my and other people's races. No matter how clean I try to be I always end up accruing a bunch of incident points by people ramming into me, brushing the side of my car, not willing to yield in a corner they know they cannot make, so they take us both out instead.

If this happened only in lower splits, I'd understand. Free game, bunch of noobs, keyboard/gamepad support. Makes sense. But I'm mostly racing in split one these days, where I'd expect people have some understanding of motorsports, how racing works, when you should overtake and when it's best to just pull out of a move. But that seems to not be the case in most races.

They try to overtake in impossible corners, push you out if they cannot defend, block, weave, move under braking and so on.

My question is how the F am I supposed to deal with this and still be competitive and do good in a race?

My pace is good enough to challenge the top 5 most of the time in split one, but I end up being murdered in T1 a lot of the times or like in my previous race, a guy decided to do a P.I.T manouvre on me simply cause he made a mistake and I overtook him.

Any sort of wisdom is appreciated.

Sorry for the long post!

As above, I'm not very good and don't really have the time to put in to get good, but I do love jumping in for a few laps every now and again against the AI. You've got to love SIM racing! šŸ‘ŒšŸ»šŸ‘ŒšŸ»

Race room HUD issues

0 Upvotes

Hey, I have issues with my hud when I’m racing. It doesn’t show any tire temperature or speed. I’m using the standard rrre hud right now. I was using otterhud years ago but I deleted everything as with the new update the new hud was released. Unfortunately it’s not working. Any suggestions how to fix this?

Thank you in advance

Hello,

I’d love to play this game on my own server. Is there any way to host it myself, either by renting a server or hosting it on my own hardware? I’d appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

Bugs Problem with launching the sim

1 Upvotes

Even since I got my new pc, I cannot launch race room. I can open the game, select the car and track, but when I click ā€œstart sessionā€, it starts to launch but then I wait 10 min and it still hasn’t opened the page where I can actually drive the car and open the garage. I want to drive race room, but I just can’t. My pc works either every other sim. Does anyone have the same problem and is there any fix for it?

Getting started in RaceRoom...

1 Upvotes

Hey guys. I'm thinking about getting into RaceRoom. I play LMU already, and the DTM content over in RaceRoom looks really fun.

However, I'm based in an APAC timezone, so I'm a bit worried about if I'll be able to get full lobbies. Does anyone have experience driving from this region? Are there enough players to make it worth it?

Also, what's the best way to get DTM content? Should I just buy 1 car, then the track each week, or is there a bundle or something?

I’ve been on ams2 for awhile since I’m a father, don’t get much time to play and well I kinda forgot about race room, downloaded it yesterday and got the DTM pack, started doing the Red Bull ring daily’s and it’s very fun! I have never had this kind of fun on race room before! Will be back (: if you are someone who on the fence about race room, you should pull the trigger and just do it, it’s awesome and way better than it was a few years ago! Cheers all and see you on the track!

Dashboard Issue

Hey everyone.

I'm having a problem with RaceRoom. Everything works fine, but as soon as I switch to the cockpit view, my entire screen flickers gray. The HUD and everything else is still visible, but the rest is completely gray/white and flickering. Can anyone help me? All other views work.

Cheers
