Hi M8´s

I have been out of the office until today to check up Conan, another development of TDK...

Latest news are :

Download cars are to be ready by the end of the week for download if everything works well...

Problem is not the car, it is to make them fit into the game without erasing your stats etc.

New patch is in beta testing

WRII : pictures taken for the virtuell construction

MP > End of December. Not before...=[

Currently I am checking HOW to get you something before = beta testing... problem is to control the number of copies and that it will not be put online.

If this security issue is solved and you like to do this we can supply you with MP Beta to "test"

Will see what we can do on this one to get it out to you asap.

Thanks for the info Tom.

As already mentioned before, we sure would be glad to help to test the MP ;)

Is there any info you can give us how the multiplayer mode will look like ? Serverbased or just IP2IP, with some lobby/chat, how many players per game and stuff like that ?

Oh - I like Beta Testing :) After Ole and I made such a 'lovely' World Racing-Trailer, I think we would deserve a beta copy, don't you think? ;)))

P.S.: A Trackeditor would be nice too :D

Thank's alot for news-info, Tom -^

If you want me to beta-test, I'll gladly sign a juridical contract with TDK regarding the rules you want me to obey as betatester, please let me know if you can use me.

I have been working as "bug-hunter" a couple times before.

Best regards

Thanks for the info Tom!
The new cars could keep me occupied for a while, then it is christmas, new years eve and stuff, then i am ready for the multiplayer patch :)

Many of the guys at this board are really dedicated to World Racing, it would be great if you somehow could let them betatest the multiplayer patch, i am sure they would do a good job.

Great news Tom -^

Hey, if you need betatesters I'm qualified for being :
[list=1]
Software developing manager
Betatester for the multiplayer of netKar
Owner of a 10Mbps cable connection
One of the few with always the FUN options turned to "on" in the racing pits :D
[/list=1]
Ok, ok....enough of bullying ^_^

But, as you may have understood, I'm REALLY longing to test the multiplayer :D

Hi Tom, :shake:

Huge thanks for everything you and your team-mates done! -^ :bow:Currently I am checking HOW to get you something before = beta testing...I am not sure if I qualify for beta-tester for such professional game as I never been that, but I was involved in cheat detection for EA game NFS 5: Porsche Unleashed / Porsche 2000 for about 2.5 years. I was coder of the Silent Witness Development team.

If case this reference is sufficient I would be very proud if you would accept me as one of the beta-testers.

problem is to control the number of copies and that it will not be put online.Also I'm not sure if I am qualified for this, but I will risk to give my idea which just came to my mind:

What about making a small utility (triggered by application form) which would scan hardware configuration of potential beta-tester PC, and make some kind of information, which he/she must send you to give back the unique unlock key with which some critical part of the (beta) game is encrypted.

This way particular decoded beta version of the game would run only and exactly on 1 (one) PC only.

Also, if any copy of decoded beta-game would 'leak' on the Net, you will know EXACTLY who did it...

I can make a working example of my idea if you find it worth and feasible.

Best regards,

Rok, NW

Brilliant idea -^
You can also add in the splash screen, in RED font size 100 the name of the beta tester to whom the copy has been given :D

I hope Tom doesn't forget the people of the Synetic-board... There are many good beta testers there (like Matthias, Dirk, David etc).

Tom,if u read this,I hope U take advantage of the incredible wealth of talented ppl here and at other Racing Forums who would be happy to help U for nothing,just so we could all enjoy your great new game.

EA was given many such sincere offers by the community,but rejected them all.=[

DC_Tox: You can also add in the splash screen...Perhaps, Corrado, perhaps not. :sly: Splash screen would perhaps 'invite' some to hack displayed name, but it can also scare some to 'do nasty things'... Anyway, 'identity' would be known to Synetic, ... so let's wait for opinion of Synetic' guys. :)

Nothing is bullet-proof though... =[

We misunderstood each other! I only meant that your screen could 'attract' somebody for certain 'activities', but definitely not you yourself!! ^_^

In fact, there are 3 different forums I was invited from you guys to show up... this forum members will get the Beta MP to play it and test it.

Date and time I can not tell yet but it will happen... Since you know where I live and who I am...^_^

Synetic is a small team of very nice people, enthusiastic about what they are doing. 7 People have created this game plus some people from my team. Compared to EA or such we are a Pommes Bude but we are doing our best to deliver until the end of this year.

The MP shall not a one off thing as the basics are also shall work on WRII and thats why we are late... Some patches have taken longer to support the gamer as this was first priority. I have insisted to put a date down on the update page to not have a chance to leave it out...:D

So, I will find away to get the beta to you guys asa download and a special PWcode somehow.

Letz pray the download cars are ready by the end of the week...first step.

LOL very nice put. But you know when I have a chance I prefer to go to a Pommes Bude and not to McDonalds :)

For non-German speakers, a "Pommes Bude" is a "Chips Stand" or a "French Fried Potato Stand" for our Yankee friends :D

Hm - looks like the Synetic-board is losing again. We couldn't even beta test the original product. A shame - a shame I tell you!! ;)

Btw: This is totally OT but well:

If anyone wants to see the new video we made (not about wr - sorry), feel free to download it from my filmpage 2:

That point also makes WR special. It's not a game like one of ea's, not produced on the assembly line ;)

Good day;

One thing has me worried, will I be able to race these Mercedes on the net with my 56k dial-up? High speed isn't available out in the woods where I live. The further I'm progressing in this game, the more I like it. Status 8, 48%, 843km.
