I have a laptop, specs below...

• Intel i7 6700HQ @ 2.60ghz
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
• 8gb ram
• Corsair SSD
• 1080p display

This laptop plays most modern games a reasonable settings, and using Nvidia control panel i can select whether any game uses the Integrated Intel graphics or the dedicated Nvidia graphics. Obviously the Nvidia graphics result is massive performance improvements for almost all games.

I just installed MXB again after months of not playing. Last time I played it was on my old crappy laptop, I was excited to see how smooth i could play using this better machine. I was shocked to find i was getting about 20fps @ 1080p using the Nvidia card on my new laptop! I put ALL settings to their minimums including changing the resolution to 720p and it still sits around 20fps.

I thought id test the integrated Intel gfx but i was not expecting much from them. But in fact I got a reasonably steady 60-70fps on the intel gfx!

Whats going on with this? Is this purely an NVIDIA driver issue? Have other people had issues with mobile Nvidia GPU's? Is there a work around so I can crank up the settings and get MXB looking half decent again?

You have a new PM.

Thanks Piboso, your a legend. its working now

I have not been online for ages.

Reinstalled yesterday, and went to go online, and it says "invalid key, please register"

I have tried to re register but it says my "Key already used"

I cannot remember my old nickname and im stumped as to what to do!

this looks great Max. Im very impressed. How long have you worked on this for?

Nice one teeds.

Dude I'm sorry, I tired to get this sorted a while back and couldn't figure out why it stopped working. Unfortunately the way I have it set up it's not just file locations, probably too complex really but I wanted people to have to sign up to download to avoid any potential server overloads as the server it's on is for a separate private business.

I then went through a week of trying to fix my laptop HD and gave up swapping it out, but unfortunately I lost the majority of my stuff including bookmarks and installed stuff. I'm waiting to get cPanel login and password sent to me so I can get in and extract it manually, try and repair it or re-upload.

In the mean time if someone else could dropbox it that would be great.. 

No big deal mate, I appreciate it as a resource, so thanks for that

this track is not dsonwloadable anymore on MXB central. for some reason the link has not worked for ages

Can someone put this on dropbox and link me please. thanks

Teeds ...

I honestly had NO idea you had this rigged up wtf lol

Thats amazing.

Nice, but what's he spotted, my money's on cleavage 

he's spotted beta 3

Idk if I've ever actually ran out of gas? What even happens? lol

as you would expect... you run out, engine cuts off and you roll till your stop

that video, or parts of that video should be put on the front page so people can see what is possible with MXB.

People who don't persevere with the demo can be put off thinking its impossible, but seeing that would give motivation to
stick with it and practice

Agreed.. I also think the pre alpha 2 video makes the whoops look more realistic - but who knows how it actually played.. Only a couple of people i guess, would love to know more about how it developed up to beta 1

I agree, we all know how we can mash together the odd vid that looks like were pro's, but truth be told, few of our laps are as clean as we see in these videos all the time

To do one beast lap i may do 10-20 bad ones lol

1.34 on the 250

Geo: Don't really know, I think my average with 1 crash would be between 130 - 140

Nice arnzzz, keep at it man, 250 actually suits the track more, the more you nail it on the 350 the more you really have to hold back on some jumps

OK, so i just tried the 250 and im actually really happy with it. I had tried before but couldn't make the final jump before the turn to the finish, i was always coming up short.

So i opened the garage and clicked some buttons (don't know which lol) and now i can clear that jump.

So after about 5 laps i hit within half a second of my 350 time, and bearing in mind i have put MANY hours into the 350 that is pretty impressive. I think i can probably knock another 3 seconds off that because i know where im being very sloppy

I just got a 1.35.47 on the 350

Thats my fastest to date, ill try the 250 but i seem to be slower on that
