I knew this one was coming. Such a fun track! However my load time is plagued. I’ll for certain time out. I should invest in something stronger now that I’m back at this game again lol.

I've done a thing! The "Track Map" was not only unhelpful, it was kinda creeping me out. Here is a quick and dirty one...

I'll downsize it.

Is this small enough? I capped the images to 512x512.

Will we need this version to race?

[jlv]

No. It's just scaled down png texture files.

No. It's just scaled down png texture files.

So the track runs great even with the downscale. However even with the downscale and playdough graphic settings I still time out when trying to load. It is what it is.

It seems like if you added fifteen to thirty seconds to the timeout period that might help. There was a guy last night I had to keep restarting for so he could load. With about five seconds to go, he would load after restarting.

Try this. This one is limited to 128x128.

For anyone struggling to connect. Delete the decal folder and most of the objects except for the banners. Not the file the folder. It’ll hurt your eyes bc the tile map is white but you can see everything

Thanks for racing everyone!

Just look at that turnout! I'll be proud to be pushed out of a 40 man gate! Thanks for tutoring.
