at almost the same time

games in the list

derbies

speed, caused the "No other players in the game" message to appear at the start
of races

cases

- Player details cannot be selected for players that are not fully connected
- Fix for kicked players being able to join the same game again
- Hardcoded 10% deadzone removed for steering wheels
* OUTSTANDING PROBLEMS
- Black/White screen at the start of races. It's unsure if this is fixed or
not, as an effect of some of the other fixes.
- Sound issues with Creative sound cards. Use the WaveOut option in the game
configuration to work around this problem.
- Engine sound too low in some cases. WaveOut might fix this problem too.
- Game freezes in mini-games with AMD dual core processors.
