where is the race? whose hosting it? I just join Swervesauce lobby and everyone was leaving.
Yeah can't find yall.
Edit: Room full, well that sucks.
i can't find anyone. There's no one in swerves lobby, jav msg me saying room was up but there's no one in his either.
To these first 3 messages, the OP clearly states that I will invite you into a text chat (sent multiple times) prior to race to discuss and organize. There were issues and they were being discussed in the chat.
Just noticed the OP says there's over 20 signed up. Who does that? Signs up more people then there are slots?!? And now after 3 weeks of practicing and talking about it, i can't even find out where the race is!
I did that! If there happen to be more than 16 confirm I would've split it up. It's just a sign up list, something I can look at to see who to msg,invite,etc. I never recieved more than 8
confirmed replies on numerous occassions and never had more than 5 show up to practice. I know you did, and you know there were hardly anyone show, some I've never heard from, 2 never accepted friend requests. I really tried to make this easy, starting this thread 20 days ago. I tried to make it super organized just didn't get cooperation on some levels. All the info has been in the OP, and I've referred to re-reading the OP several times.
On race day, just so happens that 14 people (the room wasn't "full", I just set it to 14 because that is all I had in my chat room) show up on race day, several of which I've never heard from. Which is why I stated in the OP and sent invites for a chat, so I would know exactly how many people want to race. It's really not that complicated. Now I'm not picking on you or calling you out, but you're complaining here and I'm trying to get you to see the mishaps.
i've never had to click on the yellow symbol, always clicked on the coffee cup. Either way, it wouldn't let me join and only showed 3 people in there.
The yellow symbol is a "join" symbol for when someone has an open lobby (not lounge). It's way easier to click that then to search and or enter a room number. This was also explained in chat room.
UPDATE, now i'm in and there's still room to join.
This was explained above
Disconnected from PSN as race started, was quite a let down. I assume that's my fault but everyone else was getting crazy errors and disconnections. Whatever, next sunday hopefully.
Rich, I have no idea what the deal was. Everyone seemed to be having issues, but after a bit everyone finally loaded in. I don't know why you got booted right at start. The race started with 12.
Yeah, kept getting disconnected, once everyone was in I was lucky to last a minute before DC. Australia here, so I'm not too surprised. Was really looking forward to it tho. At least I have a good car I wouldn't have thought of buying otherwise
Sorry man, I know you've had issues connecting several times. I hope we can get you in.
I really struggled with such a long track and heavy damage. I'm getting used to my wheel and the rain was just too much. I'm sure i could've done a few clean laps, but its just so fustrating to do 10min+ with damage.
Sarthe is a much wider track, and i'll have a week worth of practice so i'm sure i'll do better.
One big complaint though. Its so distracting having people txt chatting while qualifying. If you want to chat that much, get a mic!
C'mon man, just have fun. If it's not fun I couldn't play. I'm with you on the rain/new wheel. I was struggling hard, but hard is fun for me. Yes practicing the track will do you and anyone good. I will hold practices throughout the week, just like I did for the first race.
The text chatting while we're racing is annoying and I would prefer it not be done, especially if you're watching/quiting/parking, etc. It got real distracting when it was pitch black and pouring, and mics would be a preferred method of talk while racing. They are allowed, no one seems to have/use them.
Just giving you a hard time. Hopefully PD gives us a replay fix sooner than later.. would make that entire process a whole lot easier. 💡
