*******C.A.R.S - Community Assisted Race Sim*********

I'd love to see Nascar back on the PC even as DLC, I know there was a version knocking around but it was total garbage.

The problem is the servers are region locked and as I do most of my racing late at night how many racer would be on line in Europe wanting to do Nascar?

I thought I read somewhere that it will look outside of your region?

What's it going by anyway the region you set in steam for your downloads? I know some games did that in the past
 
I think you need to change location in steam, when I did that it started asking for confirmation but I didn't bother going any further.

They have said they are looking at the location issue so it may get sorted.
 
As I referred to earlier, I am in the process of setting up a server for us lot exclusively, an unofficial OcUK server so to speak, open 24/7.

It will only allow those permitted to connect, no passwords required so when you play, you know it is one of us and not some random.

So I can setup the access, I need the Steam community ID's for everyone who wants to join.

Those who want to be given access, if you could trust me your steam community URL, such as:

http://steamcommunity.com/id/gimpymoo

I can get what I need from that.

Thanks.

James.

Isn't the game local host only? Didn't think it has dedicated servers.

Dedicated server options are WIP, sometimes the standalone server tool (can all see it in Steam > Library > Tools?) and pCARS loses sync because of updates, in which case all would need to fall back to the current default of peer-to-peer hosting.

To create a server on a publicly available dedicated server, use the following Steam launch command in Library > pCARS> properties...
-autods

Other launch commands to try include...
-skipcrowds (lose crowd for a small fps boost)
-pthreads "x" (where "x" is 3 or 4, spreads physics over more threads than the default 2)
-x86 (force pCARS to run in 32-bit)
-x64 (run in 64-bit, default if you have a 64-bit cpu)
-dx9 (run in DirectX9, but this path received very little optimisation "love" for ~2 years)
-dx11MT (activate multi-threading graphics, default is single thread)

Simply put a space inbetween each command eg. I currently use...
-pthreads 3 -skipcrowds -autods
 
Put some proper hours into this game now - its not all bad. It can be tough and certainly pushes you onwards - unlike GT6 which once you get the jist of it you destroy all opposition in a flash. The AI still winds me up but I am getting used to it now. Going to stick with it and get online.

The one that cost £25 or something like that

So you get 50% voucher off the price of the game if you buy direct from Steam.

That's assuming that, at some point before release, you added your pCARS Steam beta key (from you WMD forum profile) to your Steam account.

If you did that then you should have automatically been issued with a discount voucher.

If you didn't add your beta pCARS Steam key to your account then I suggest you post in the WMD help section and see if they can issue your discount voucher manually.
