For my 1st race with you guys I think I did better than what I thought I was going to do basing of my practice and qualifying lap times. I didn't like tire wear 2.02 very much in the beginning, but know I'm starting to like it. Its was fun not trying to drive the wheels off the car but finding a balance between a fast lap and a lap that saves your tires until your next pit window. I look forward to next weeks race fellas see on the track or in a practice room, laters!
 
I really like the fact the we have some new drivers who actually show up, but i'm sad that the ones who DID sign up 2,3 hours before race actually didn't show up.. imo just put them as reserves or whatever.. but this is not ok Imo.... we could have better or more active drivers in the league that signups who never show up..

It was not really a race :nervous:
 
Beside all the problems we had today, I had a lot of fun even finishing last!

I just need to get in more practice and go from there. I did learned already a lot from today's race and it can only get better from here.
 
Well every race will be postponed one week, we take this as a crappy experience. If I can't host with fixed ownership on a fiber optic connection with the speed of 60mbit both ways then PD need to think of something else than car dlc's and fix this problem. When this happens I really lose interest, but when it works I love the game.

I put my ps3 to a fixed IP witch I have a dmz to in my router, so it really is fully open, I have no problem testing other hosting the race, but really.. it is not a hosting issue. It must be a client ruining everything. And I also point my finger to Falcon. You lag around and are impossible to race around.

I will open my ps3 to vacuum clean it to make sure it is venting like it should, GT5 is using a lot of system resources of that old box with less RAM than my cellphone.. well not really, but it's not something I would brag about if I were Sony.

Also I would like to do some test races before next race.. and not a 4 lap test race, but set the room to the actual lap number and have a go. Race for 5-6 laps and just leave the race. Room never lag on a small amount of laps.

And to karolisnaste, elysiriar, GTP_Chia when signing up you should enter the race also, you haven't shown much interest after you joined so consider yourself out of this championship. And to Grayfox, Joetruck and Troylee, welcome to our championship, hope you enjoy it.. (more than we did tonight anyway) :)
 
The only thing what makes me sad is all the houres of practise the whole week. It feels like lost time.

So i hope we just retry this? Or what we do next week.
 
Strange in f1 2011 i can drive with 16 drivers in a lobby with dont problems.

Consider yesterdays race as an extra pre-season race and the season starts again at Fuji next week and Monza will follow afterwards, etc etc.
 
Drivers list, teams and calender updated. Someone got new teammates.

joetruckv8 stays without a teammate at the moment, but I guess life goes on ;)

I have no life sitting here and updating things like this when I should really be sleeping..

Host, u have pm
 
So with the 3 inactive drivers out of the championship i guess the signups open again..

i think erik is right, we should test more on open lobby & lounge before the race on saturday
 
Us drivers at the FGTC championship are having the same problem. Last week we had a race at Monaco and it was absoloutly terrible. We have a race tomorrow and will probally have 13-15 drivers, fingers crossed this problem won't happen again.

It's just poor, PD need to sort it out!

Yes i heard,we did not include monaco just for that reason in our calendar.. last season we had Major lag in the 1st corner, but its just ruining it all for everyone.. We should email PD regarding this issue...
 
I suppose there already on the case considering it's been going on for about 1 - 1 1/2 weeks now. But I just hope they do something because it's ruining all of the racing series for everyone...

Its not only the connections, but also in spectate mode some can't see others driving.. after the new update things have changed.. bit more bugs but i bet they will solve this very fast..
 
[sarcasm]But hey, we did get another GT-R added to the game so it is all good!![/sarcasm]

Ye the online play seems very much bugged. I just don't get it, they want to change the game and in the process they always seems to mess up what's already good. I keep my fingers crossed it will be sorted or all racing series will just come to an end.

Keep us updated ETID, as we are very much having the same problems.
 
For each thing they fix, they breaking two other things. PD is going in circles.


Oh Erik, If we found a teammate for Joe we could close signups. I think the game can't handle 16 cars.
 
If only they could make a pc based dedicated server with password protection it would open up some opportunities. There are several game server hosts around the world who rent out servers for pc games. I just don't see why it couldn't be that way for a console game like GT5.
I know I would pay for a rental server if that made sure we could have our races lag free for sure.
But I guess in making this work they would have managed to make all fr cars into ff cars or something as they always have to mess things up ;)

For now the signup is closed, we really need to sort our lag before adding people. elysiriar came to me and said his internet fell down and I want to give him another chance on this. He is in a Xanavi so joe will then get a team mate. After that I totally agree, 14 drivers is the absolute limit.

It can't even handle 11 :dunce:. Everything over 10 ruins it. I was ~1 sec slower when we were 12, after immortal and sken left everything was perfect for me. Time to suggest: What about allowing 20 people joining the league and having 2 divisions running? Can't think about details right now, expand your minds please and think of it 👍

EDIT: Just remembered that since 2.02 all people have to buy the DLC to be able to race at Spa or Kart spaces. We should discuss that too.
 
Yes I do believe unless PD sorts out this issue we will be forced to run 2 seperate lounges or have some kind of eliminations during qualifying .

I know it sounds harsh but when you practice all week for a race that doesn't take place its not a good feeling .
The games physics are just screwed up with this lag issue , CFalcon running soft times on the medium tire , I really wonder if Falcon is the source of the issue . He just. Is always lagging and others have seen it. Its a possibility but since so many others are having the issue it could jus be the number of players.

Perhaps when we meet online next saturday we try it at 8 players then 10 then 11 then 12 and see what happens .

If we don't want to leave people out (elmination suggestion) we will have to create 2 seperate lounges with hopefully equal amount of drivers and mix it up every week .

Just my thoughts .

And the ds3 users were so fast , adam especially . I've read before that it mainly affects wheel users and now I do believe it .

damn you pd and sony , fix this asap

Are you mad, i am not practise the whole week for the possibility to get eliminated on qualifying.
I am not running in two different leagues either.

If that happens i quite.
 
We don't have the numbers, and I doubt we will, to host two separate league divisions and I don't think anyone here really wants to be racing in lobbies of 5-8 people each week with an elimination style qualifying when we had zero problems in season 1 and a few problems in season 2.

IIRC Falcon said he wont be here next week, so anyone who is pointing the finger at Falcon will get your wish and we'll see if he is the culprit of the lag (although I'm doubting it, but we'll see).

I don't want this either Maxi I'm just trying to provide a solution .

GT5 is my favorite game , I don't want to quit I just want to race the way its meant to be.

How can Falcon do a 1 33 9 on the medium tire , I watched him catch and past Immortal like Immortal was driving a minivan .
Im sure falcon races elsewhere and doesn't have this issue so maybe its just the number of participants we have , if that is the case and we have to limit the drivers in a room to let's say 12 , 13 or 14 . How will we decide who doesn't get to drive 7

We thought the fixed lounge would make it better but it didn't .

Having 2 lounges could be the easiest solution and still allow everyone to race .

Every week we mix the drivers up , what do you think guys ?

Suppose PD and Sony don't fix this til March , what do we do postpone our season til then ?
 
Facts:
Well I know online play is a bit bugged at the moment, when trying to watch someone race in free run it sometimes just don't follow any car, even if you try to change to a car that are on the track. I had to join the track myself, go back into the lobby to press the "watch race" button again. After 3 times of trying it worked.

We have had this before and then it came down to clients struggling with their NAT. Their NAT show NAT2 as should be good enough. But as I explained yesterday in our room it can show NAT2 even if its not. It's not NAT3 because NAT3 users cannot join a room without a fixed ownership. But as I have two Playstations online with NAT2 at the same time at the same router, really proves this NAT system of the Playstation isn't reliable

Also the UnPN seems not to work no matter what I do to my router, tested on 3 different router and it would just not work. So I turned this off and did it manually instead. UnPN will work as a port opener assigner from within the network if it worked.

Also ping is worthless if tested on a pingtest online or within the cmd/command window of windows. You send a really small amount of 32 bytes when doing ping test. When playing this game you send a lot more data and the ping will increase. And if you are close to your limit it will just increase a lot. Just try a ping test when using your upload speed and you see it's not even close to the ping you got when not sending data at the same time.

We got some new drivers and it could be that they have to sort out some problems on their end. I'm not blaming anyone, that would just be speculation. But we need to try solve this as a group.

Hopes
I really hope PD do what they can to fix their net code or what ever it takes. And I really hope everyone here will try figure out if they can do something to their settings to make more out of their router/ps3

I also hope that next weekend we have a lag free race with all participants in the same room, splitting it up or eliminating people will just not happen.

And for the record.. Spa stays in the calender, get it or use that date as one of your not counting races. We only count 10 out of 12 races.
 
It works, not needed to test. When you get you internet IP instead of LAN IP on your ps3 you get NAT1
