as the title says, im not using the stock bike im using a yamaha that was posted on the fourmes awhile back, i put all my old bikes back into the mx bikes folder and they sound fine until they get at the rev limiter area, the sound just cuts out and i hear the bike coasting and thats it lol. any thoughts? was there a change to how the sound files work

port forward your router, i used port 10412 for mine. then create a shortcut of your mxbikes.exe, and rename it to something such as mxbikesserver. then right click on the shortcut and go to properties and put this in it mxbikes.exe -dedicated 10412 -set params dedicated.ini

now the dedicated.ini can be whatever you want, such as serversettings.ini. dedicated.ini/serversettings.ini is where you set the settings for the server, such as track/laps and such and other random things, make sure this file is inside your mx bikes directory C:\Program Files (x86)\MX Bikes 
now that youve created your serversettings.ini or dedicated.ini(if your using serversettings.ini change the properites that i put above to this, mxbikes.exe -dedicated 10412 -set params serversettings.ini) open it up and put what pisbo put in the dedicated server documentation and edit it as needed.

also you never stated what your cpu is. whats your cpu/gpu usage in the game

do a fresh install of windows 10, install amd crimson and get all your drivers situated, and come back

question, what do you use to convert the heightmaps/greyscale from mxsim to mx-bikes? i havent looked at how tracks are created in mx-bikes but id like to port alot of my tracks that ive made over the years over to mx-bikes

tried again tonight....the only track i could get onto was the practice track....i tried several of the others (even leaving it loading whilst i had a shower...) to no avail.....anyone else got any ideas please?

im assuming you already have the tracks needed to join the servers?

For the next update I think it would be great if you could turn off the mud. It would be nice for making videos and it may help some with fps.

what do you mean by turn off the mud? do you mean the mud on the goggles/gopro camera?

Hey yz.. you talking about in game as u are racing or when u are watching replay like gdub?

If u see squares as u are racing to the next turn, maybe your draw distance and other graphics settings can still be turned up a bit more?

my game is maxed out and i get that issue.

take note on the bend at the elbow

simple way, create a shortcut on your desktop using the mxbikes.exe, right click on the shortcut and open properties and after the " enter in
mxbikes.exe -dedicated 10412 -set params dedicated.ini                   with a space between the " and m.
10412 is the port, dont use 10410 due to that being the port that the game uses. use something like 10411/10412 and such, make sure to port forward in your router tcp/udp.
and dedicated.ini can be whatever your config is for the server such as serverinfo.ini or slimypossum.ini and such.

i had my server up with erode on the track forest for a hour or so, had a good 3-4 people in it on and off throughout that time, its rare we get game crashes with erode on on the stock tracks that come with the game, but on custom tracks i kept crashing every 6-12 minutes. its alot of fun with erode on till ruts get developed on takeoffs that lead off the side of the track thats hard to miss so everyone jumps off the side of the triple every other lap. but it seems to be the same online/offline with grip, it has to be the deformation giving it the *slick* feel.

Best beta ever! Just minor things here to work on.

Let's get online going smooth and get to some organised racing

Today was first day I could really put time into it and get a feel.....and wow! So glad my wife got sick so I could take care of the kids, lol!

when my server is up (cody's erode on) my friends and other randoms are able to race just fine without any lag, its smooth racing without desync and yet when im on the official servers i notice alot of people do desync/lag

Your server is probably using the same port you need to play as a client. Edit your server to use an alternative port and you should be fine.

mxbikes.exe -dedicated 10410 -set params dedicated.ini <- the 10410 can be changed in your dedi shortcut.

Thank you, solved.

ok im hosting my own server, and whenever i have my dedicated server running i cant join any server, not even my own. when i click join on a server it doesnt say connecting, it just gives me the option to cancel the server like this

does anyone have a fix? when i close the server it works and im able to relaunch the game and join other servers.

When hosting on the same PC where the client is running, the port must be changed from 10410 to something else, for example 10411.

ahh thank you sir. great work on beta 4 by the way, quite an improvement.
