Whenever I log into the game, this is the error that i am getting...
Failed 404: Can't resolve hostname to IP address.
Please make sure that your internet connection is active! If you are behind a proxy, please check your proxy settings in "Game Options".
But I am connected to the internet, and I don't believe I am behind a proxy server.
Please advise what I need to to.
Many thanks! Hope to hear from you guys soon.

Most providers do use proxy servers, it speeds up their service to customers, helps them with security and anti-spam. At least, this is what I'm no told, I'm no expert.

Hi Stow and steady,
Thanks for the response.... I am from Manila Philippines... I just checked with my local DSL Provider "Globe Telecoms", According to the technical support guy i spoke too... the connection that they provide their subscribers does not use a Proxy Server.
In fact when I checked out the tools tab in my IE, and when I click Internet options, and when I go to Connections, and the LAN settings Tab. The Proxy server details is grayed out or blank. This means that my internet connection does not use a proxy server.
Hope someone can share with me, if they had the same experience that I'm having and share with me on how they were able to resolve it.

You may have a firewall that is blocking some ports. Resolve this and it will work.

It sounds like you have a software firewall active! Just disable it for a second

That translates to .2 of a second difference on the track so you can see the problems that would occur, cars would appear out of nowhere and there would be many accidents. A LAN feature or something would be good, i think they are working on it though.
And as for asking about it working on your old pc, what else can they do, work miracles?!

To put things in perspective, these cars travel 20-30 meters per second, so 0.2 latence is already 4-6 meters! And all this with just 0.4-0.5m cars... Multiplay for high speed r/c cars is like trying to do multiplay ping pong match... it is VERY challanging and difficult, but working on it! Doing multiplay for 1:1 scale is a lot less critical.

Finally make sure that "Installation ID" has some codes in it.
If after all this it does not work then I suggest you uninstall everything and re-install again WHILE you're logged onto the VRC website using your browser.
I had online game connection issues but for some reason when I did it this way, it worked.
Good luck.

Agree with you there Pieter. In fact, I can't imagine how we can race online in real-time at the moment because of latency issues. Hope you find the technical solution without compromising the realism we have now.

The only practical solution right now is to keep servers at a more local level and not play continent to continent. I consistently get < 30ms on local servers with my broadband connections which should be more than fast enough for the purposes of this game.

You only have to pay for extra tracks & race entry. It is the best free game ever. The team that put this together deserve to make a few bucks out of it. Then hopefully multiplayer will get off the ground. Well done VRC, love your work
