A minor update for Newtown has been released. This new version includes a brand new Auxiliary server which replaces the backup server, and could potentially become the main server. The Central Server will be offline, so please use the Auxiliary server from now on. All corresponding pages point to the auxiliary server. The Auxiliary server is hosted on BVEStation's supplementary servers :D. All previous versions are now disabled, so it is recommended you get this newer version. This new server as usual runs 24/7.
A quick recap for those of you who dont know what Newtown is, Newtown is the latest proprietary Multiplayer Engine powering ipaclansite's OpenBVE:ME. Being rewritten completely from the ground up offers much more stability and ease of use, compared to the original system. No more worrying about a user disconnecting destroying the whole run, and no more random crashes on the Multiplayer side of the code. No more trying to guess the number to see where the player ahead you is.
For more information on Newtown, please visit the ME Newtown page on the homepage's link bar, or visit here, http://www.bvestation.com/multiplayerN.php (http://www.bvestation.com/multiplayerN.php)
As ME is technically not in development, it will not be updated with the latest version of OpenBVE nor will any major features be added.
Enjoy!

Expect Ultimate BVE to have a MP. I just got done with the API and will be posting a DL for developers to get a hang of the new features and start coding for the release.

I see no reason for there to be two multilayer platforms, but whatever though. The more, the merrier.

If you actually read ipac's post, you'll see the link there, and also if you're in the homepage, there is a Newtown link... Remember, not Newton, but Newtown...

Some routes say it differently... I'll post a link later...

I know that. I'm just messin' with you. :P
For whatever reason, while the (F), (M), (R) and (V) trains announce it correctly, the (E) doesn't. It's like the folks at the MTA (or wherever they did these announcements) were too lazy to make sure they were announced correctly.
Jamaica-Van Wick, Briarwood-Van Wick Blvd anyone?

What's crazy about this Newtown,Newton thing is that the (E),(M),(R),(V) announcer is the same person.I find it odd tho that Catherine Cowdry decided to say Newton instead of Newtown for the (E) but she pronounces it correctly for the (R),(M)& (V).The (F) announcer is Diane Thompson who also does the (2),(A),(C),Franklin & Rockaway Shuttle and I think the (7).

Hey Kevin,
Is it just me, or is ME laggy. I ran it with the (F) and I'm getting 8-10 fps, when usually I'm getting 35-55. It's not my computer either, and I'm also getting a .NET framework error when I'm connecting.
-
Same here it dropped my framerates from 30/35 to about 10/15.

You guys gotta remember this is not compatible with the F yet...

Doesn't matter does it? We use "Custom" anyways.But clearly it dropped our framerates by more than half.And we both got errors when using the Newtown it wouldn't connect.Also the ME things is very laggy compared to the regular Openbve.

because like he said the F wasn't added in. We use all of the other routes and experience no drops in frame rates.

I understand what you're saying but even with other routes that are not added I never had this problem b\c me and my partner or whatever always use "Custom" for the routes whether its there or not.

You guys are right, for some reason whenever you're running a custom route, the frames drop severely. However, if you're using the routes on the list, they run smoothly. Is there a reason why this happens, this severe frame drop?

Yes, the Custom tab is there... That doesn't mean, however it will work... The LUL happens to have quite a few flaws on it

Thats not a compatibility issue, thats an issue with OpenBVE. From what I've heard the newer versions of OpenBVE have a better tweaked rendering system, which improves framerates. Multiplayer Extension will not be updated to the latest version of OpenBVE anytime soon however, so you guys will have to live with that issue for a bit. I'll add F support to the current system however, within the next few days or weeks...
