trouble with new hawaii!

I d/l new version wed. I was unable to connect. I recieve unknown errors after getting to the scheluler. Thursday---- I get on for my league race at 11:30. I am kicked out of race practice to schedluler. I get back in and and disconnected completely. I finally get on again after busy signals to catch end of practice. I ran fine until I left the race due to damage. Friday------ I recieve unknown errors while going to race scheduler and disconnects. Help suggests a boot disk. this was no help. I reunzip hawaii.zip still problems. As of now9:00est friday I also experienced very erratic steering even with the same latency as always. I tried new init string.... not much help and yes I am at 9600bps. comments?

Don't feel too bad. I was disconnected ten times during qualifying or racing during the weekend. Each counts as a last place finish. I fully expect the 9 I worked so hard for, not to mention paid so much money for, to be long gone Monday. Chuck Stuart - Mesquite TX USA

It sounds like line noise problems to me. Disconnects are certainly caused by that. Erratic steering could also be a simptom as could the unknown errors. Remember, we turn all error correction off on the modems to decrease latency. This makes us much more sensitive to line noise than any other service. We did have some trouble on our end, but that was on Sunday afternoon... not in the time period you were talking about. Also, our trouble was with power, not phone lines. Have you tried again since Friday? Ed Martin Producer, Series Director NASCAR Racing League Papyrus / Sierra On-Line, Inc.
