Re: Losing connection when ramping over defenses
One issue that could be occurring, is a problem with dropped packets.
Last year we picked up on this issue when testing driving over the step quickly. I guess the extra stress was making us notice.

One thing that can cause alot of dropped packets is programs on the computer trying to connect to the internet.
I think in our case it was the NI or Autodesk auto updater.
I believe the problem is those eat up bandwidth trying to look for updates, and with them not being connected to internet they obviously won't be able to update and just eat bandwidth.

I'm not sure if we were throttling our bandwidth to competition levels or not when this happened.
