Huge Flaw In Online Racing

[ShortAznGuy]

So I don't know if it's just me but sometimes when I'm playing online, my friend will crash into me even though on his screen, he's a good 5 feet away from me. Similarly, I was racing on Rustle Creek and passed my friend. I got points for a clean overtake but my friend spun out and said I crashed into him. We both play with great internet connection but for some reason it still happens.

Any similar problems?

Great link with high latency it seems... Try to use a cable insted of wireless connection to your router for starters.

And if you're on a PC check that windows is not downloading updates (or adobe or anything from the 1000 services that start up with windows...).

And stop downloading all those mp3

It happens to me too, in the lobby the signal graph is really low when I race someone overseas (like zero or one bar), however the in game movement is absolutely smooth, so I assume there's no lag but often when I drive side by side with someone. while giving plenty of room, some odd crashes happens.

The good ole Proxy bug from shift !!! Makes its debut in Shift 2 as well it would seem.

I've had the same issue. There is no work around its just how it is. It is a latency / lag issue but I can pin point it to connections cause one time its fine and then other times the proxy bug appears.
