Can confirm that. I think it happens very regularly when someone disconnects. Messes up the sound experience, which is worth quite something in tight battles in RVGL. Having an engine sound out of nowhere can destroy the immersion somewhat.

Playing on a Pentium D machine here from 2007. Even weaker is the Intel Atom from 2010 in a tiny netbook. So your computers have to be strong enough for RVGL. Messing with the starting paramenters of RVGL improved the performance on the couple of laggy tracks (ex. Spa Volt, SBX Alpine). On Linux, ma...

Oh yes, the game would greatly benefit with a public server list. Wouldn't even have to be included in the game itself. Just some website with a list of possible servers looking like this: kila.rv.gl ... online ... 5/16 players santi.rv.gl ... offline macao.rv.gl .... offline wurz.rv.gl ... online ....

Not sure if this exists already: On the car selection screen, after selecting a car, is it possible to rotate the car so that it can be viewed from all angles? That would be quite useful for painting a skin, as the skin gets updated almost in real time (just need to switch skins back and forth). Tha...

In the replays menu (where you browse through the list of your recordings), what about having the car in use added to the interface (so far it's replay name, track, game type)? The car is surely one of the more memorable things about a specific replay.

What about being able to define the race length by distance? (Kilometers / Miles?)
10 laps on Supermarket 2 are something quite different from 10 laps Schools Out 2.

It looks like the naming convention on the IP address is a little picky here. For example let's say my IP is 10.11.12.13. For an online game, entering "10.11.12.13" isn't enough, game fails to connect. It has to be "10.11.12.13 2310" to work. Can you make it possible to accept th...

I've spotted some typos, forgotten words and too long words in strings/german.txt. Spieziell -> Speziell Rennen neustarten -> Rennen neu starten Aufnahmen neustarten -> Aufnahmen neu starten Trete spiel bei… -> Trete Spiel bei… Paused -> Pause Wirklich neustarten? -> Wirklich neu starten? Herausford...

General thread for discussing videos about Re-Volt / RVGL. I must say, my favourite is the RC Revenge Movie Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYXQfWd3wzQ&t=127 https://yewtu.be/watch?v=VYXQfWd3wzQ An RVGL drama! Will there be a release? Who knows... The editing about this trailer is beaut...

When wanting to play online, "Connection refused" wasn't the most helpful message to recieve. In fact, it was only about the wrong game version. Not having been updated to the newest yet. I know, the Laucher exists, but maybe the next noob doesn't not know about this yet. Please communicat...

it will lead to some empty messages being sent. After seeing the online races now for two months, I have to say that nearly every new player falls in this chat trap of sending empty messages. Resulting in replies like "don't spam" or "don't chat mid race". Ah, what a warm welcom...

Funny coincidence... when racing on the popular mod track being called "Quake!", there is my exact machine on the floor! A Deskpro with a Pentium 3 (1 GHz). Nice detail. I tested Windows XP on a 400 MHz Celeron as well. Performancewise, that kind of machine would be better of with Windows ...

An old discussion, but still relevant. I think you're handling it somewhat decent here in RVGL, having a fixed session calendar on the public website: https://re-volt.io/online/events Discord surely might be convenient... but the price is your data. Discord is run by a company, that wants to make lo...

It looks like Re-Volt has a rather special etiquette about racing online. One such thing is to avoid shooting the lapped cars deliberately. This is not that obvious, as in other online racing games, there is no problem whatsoever with wrecking each others races, but I get that small wrecks can have ...

On another computer (of around 2007 with only some unknown onboard-graphics), this time a fresh Windows XP installation, but without any graphic drivers. So the generic VGA driver is used, which says it can use OpenGL 1.1. However on starting Re-Volt, an error message comes up "Unable to inisti...

A couple of thoughts to the Battle Tag mode. There was a 16-player round yesterday and I think it showed some things that could be improved. In the beginning of a game, too many pile-ups happened, where all cars stacked together in one heap and the target was changing almost randomly from one car to...

I'm trying this with an 20-year-old ATI Radeon 9600, supporting OpenGL 1.1. It should work in theory. Error message: The application could not be initialised (0xc0000005). (loose translation) Might be a Windows error on that particular machine. Odd question, does RVGL have a DirectX mode or some kin...

Just loosely connected with the frontend, but what about having a fixed colour per player in the chat in online lobbys? Now, it's a bit confusing, because when the number of players changes, the message colour changes as well. Maybe have a global "chat colour" setting in the RVGL settings?...

The interface is a little buggy when selecting multiplayer and trying to enter a host address, that can't be reached. A Windows window opens up "Connection to host timed out". Clicking on OK doesn't do anything, except opening the same window again. The main RVGL window doesn't respond. Yo...

Looks like RVGL is running on my newer Windows XP (from 2007), which is nice. I'd like to get it running on an older XP system from 2001 as well, but an error occurs "program can't be initialised" and RVGL doesn't start. What are the minimum system requirements? Also, have any tests been m...
