Spark Plug Icon?

[Atominist]

Hi, in some races in Race 07, I get a spark plug icon with a red line through it. Does this mean my car's misfiring? :confused:

Anyone else get this?

Something IS misfiring, but it ain't your car.

That actually isn't a sparkplug with the red line. It's a USB connector. And the message is that you've lost connection with the host.

Sometimes it's momentary. Sometimes it's terminal.

Yeah, I've gotten it a couple of times. But truth is, from the jerks who happened to be in those races, I was about to pull my plug anyway. Sometimes online sucks. Sometimes it's the people you meet. Sometimes because of the host's connection.

Doh... ok thanks.

BTW, have you ever been online and had cars stop instantly in front of you and then suddenly appeared again running, and they're down the track from where they stopped?

That's momentary loss of connection, too.

[Atominist]

yeah, every now and then.

Warping sucks. I was on one server and the race began with very bad warping. I warped out in one spot and warped back in ON TOP of someone's car. Needless to say, this resulted in a crash and I had to exit out of that session- the race was a total loss.
