I've heard from Ian there's a new network build that no longer has messed up graphics on the Beginner Day stage of Scud Race. Would somebody mind uploading a version of it here please? Thanks in advance!

Anyone...?

Is there anything us the community can do to help? hardware funding etc?

Just tried it on LeMans 24: it works great with the right music tempo. The reverb effect seems a bit too pronounced compared to real hardware, as already reported.

I did a bit of profiling with the network code to see where the slowness is coming from. Because on my pc in single threaded mode I still get 60fps and in network mode with 2 machines it's half that. Anyway what is happening is the network code is waiting 16ms for the receive the data. This 1 frame wait halves the frame rate to around 30fps. I haven't dug deep enough into the code but maybe if the network code, if the cpu core is time spliced up a bit more it might send early enough. Either that or run asynchronously in another thread.

Is the Network code Windows only? I'm unable to get it working on Linux....
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - x64, fully updated
Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, Radeon 5500 XT "Navi" GPU, open source AMD drivers

Note: Networking if working correctly [but slowly] for me on Win 10 with two instances [using the pre-compiled r803 version linked above].

Linux / Scud Race Plus:

I just built from source [today] on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Scud Race Plus works perfectly in "Single" mode.

However, when I enable "EmulateNet" and set two instances to "Master and "Slave" I get stuck at the the:
"Cancelled Network Board Not Present" screen.
I'm running with:
"./supermodel ./Roms/scudplus.zip -res=1920,1080 -show-fps -quad-rendering -wide-screen -no-threads"

Is the code non-functional on Linux, or do I need to modify the Makefile and/or modify some of the code?
I'm happy to start digging, but don't want to waste my time if it's known to be incomplete/non-functional...

Try adding -net.

Thanks for the quick reply.
UPDATED
That was it.... plus user error; I hadn't set the compile options correctly...

Just retried compiling with:

Code: Select all: make clean make NET_BOARD=1

Now network works...thanks again.

Note: In networked mode, the frame rate drops to ~31 fps [from locked 60.0 fps], same as windows...

Running two instances connected across different machines?
