VROC Client Choice
JavaVROC is obsolete. For reference, JavaVROC information
is included here.
There are two user interface (aka "client") alternatives
for accessing VROC. JavaVROC provides basic functionality for
hosting and joining races on VROC. WinVROC provides the same
functionality plus additional capabilities.
WinVROC
WinVROC is a superb native Windows
client for VROC. This downloadable Windows program provides the
same basic features as the VROC Java applet, but contains a number
of additional features, including:
- An integrated chat
- Broadly enhanced control of race options by the host
- Inspection of the Internet routes to GPL servers
- Expanded support for dedicated servers and hosting behind
a gateway
- Remote hosting
- Assorted other advanced features
Download WinVROC and try it!
If WinVROC works for you, proceed to Online
Racing Community below to discover other ways to engage with
the GPL online racing community.
If you have difficulties with WinVROC, see WinVROC
Help for assistance.
If you would prefer to use the Web-based JavaVROC client,
then continue with the instructions for JavaVROC.
