Sorry about not hosting the room guys, had a bit of work to do and went to meet a friend in town today, so tomorrow for sure... Maybe.
 
Its okay. I was hosting one today until I lost connection. I tried getting back on so I gave up. I gonna get back on in a while & I might host another room.
 
I have barely touched GT6 online because X2014. Am I missing out on anything? :p
That all depends on the room. From my experience, I've only really had one server I enjoyed. (Today)
 
Is it at least better than GT5's online?
IMO no. Far less lobbies (1/5th maybe) and very little circuit racing which is what I'm interested in, mostly drift, cruise, cops, drag and fun rooms. No restriction based sorting options beyond SRF and especially no way to know beyond a room description what tires and PP a room is using. They've really missed the boat again with online and the quantity, style and quality of rooms online reflects that. 👎👎. GT5 online was busier in it's dying days just before GT6 came out than GT6 is 2 months after launch. That tells you all you need to know really...:crazy:
 
I think the online is better, it has some bugs- sure. The lobby choice is ok, if you look hard enough. And if you can't be bothered, I'm sure GTP will help
 
I somehow started a race 100' ahead of the starting line in the grass, facing a wall with the transmission in reverse. every time I try online something ridiculous happens, I'll stick to offline.
 
I have enjoyed a lot of my time online but for me the biggest problem is connecting.

So often it looks like its going to connect, goes through the "sync" but on the track loading screen, before
I get in the lobby, I get disconnected.

Roughly 7 out of 10 times I try a room this happens.
Some days it seems worse and one day I went though about 15 rooms never connecting,
Eventually I just started trying any room to see if I could connect at all.
Jumped into a room with no Room title and proptly got kicked before I could explain I was just testing my connection.
If a Room is Private or for testing and not open for people to join, why is it named like this " -----------" ?

I thought I was the only one to have these kinds of things happen, the last time I started a race online, I thought all was well as I was on pole, then as the lights went green, my car didn't move. It was in gear, handbrake off, and I could shift up and down, and I could press the clutch and get neutral and select another gear, but the car just sat there revving like it was in neutral. The guys completing lap one even tried to give me a push, but the car wouldn't move!
Fun times! :confused:
 
I haven't spent a ton of time online but so far it's about the same as in GT5 although I'd say the average speed in a field is probably faster than it was in GT5. Also as in GT5 if you're stuck in the middle of the pack it's like bumper cars and no one seems concerned with clean racing at all unless it's a relatively small field that have raced a couple of races already or you're with friends. Once you get up to 8+ it's usually chaos towards the rear, especially with reverse grid. It always comes down to the quality of the hosts. If they rule with an iron fist, and constantly give out warnings about clean racing, it's usually clean. If they are quiet and say nothing about racing all night, it's usually bumper cars everywhere but at the front.
 
I'm simply sick of everyone making rooms like " Real street cars no race cars" Anything with real street cars basically and then everyone is on Full Racing Soft tires with huge wings. :banghead: Might as well enable Nitrous.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: ANd they still cant keep it on the damn track.
 
I decided to give online one more try (test my internet to see if I will randomly disconnect) and joined a room that said "I bet you can't beat me lol." Enter my first race in my Viper which I had yet to tune since 1.02 (Understeered like hell)and at the end I realize that 2 of the racers (host included) used SRF and RS Tires. So I decided I'd play along and I did keep losing (Viper kept Understeering, I was trying to fix it at the time) . The host decided to insult me (Canadians suck, learn to drive, learn to tune, etc) So i decided that's enough so I tuned my Viper to about 1077 HP with nitrous and got as good of suspension as I could figure out. So I played on a few more races and he kept insulting me. Then I entered the last race. I get near second (the host) and give a love tap to him to show I was mad and he yelled LEARN TO DRIVE! So I continued and went down the straight where I hit a hump wrong and got airborne. I try to stop but I hit the host who was pretty pissed off (Like I cared he was a dick and was probably going to kick me for lag or something anyway). Then all I had to do was catch the leader (Red Bull Junior with SRF and Racing Softs) and I passed him on the straight and won. Just as I won the host said "Come back when you can drive and tune" and I was kicked.

I treat you like you treat me. You be a dick in one way, I will be in another.

Sweet that you won but sounded like a terrible room to begin with. Finding a good room takes too much time, I'm playing less and less.
 
Well today was in a route X tuning room. Guys running same old cars huyara & stradale. So I figured I'd run something else. Pulled out my favorite Cadillac Cien. Race starts I'm doing ok. It runs 300mph by itself. Guys talking saying your slow keeps wanting me to draft him. I keep mmoving away he continues. Starts ramming me & so forth. Before next race starts I type in if you need me to draft your slow. He responds my stradale is beating your Cien. So hecwrecks me in turn so I jump out to watch his speed. 303mph. I type in unspectacular. He hits nos & jumps up to 313mph. I say see nos aided. He jumps out & kicks me out lol

Here's why RS is allowed in my rooms

I didn't allow RS tyres for a while, and I ran cruise rooms. I had many drifters using the justification "Maybe if you let us have RS tyres..." So it really kinda allows me to say "I do." At their smartass comments- I don't allow Driver aids (ABS excluded) either so if someone's using a drifty car on SH, I can say "Use racing tyres, change car, learn to drive or be kicked."
 
Weellll, ive got a weird story to tell thee ;)

I joined a cop lobby at cote d'Azur only to realise the 2 speaky kids on mics in x2014's and one good guy in his veyron are in a 25lap race.🤬. Anyways, I watch through it(nothing better to do) and eventually kid no.1 finishes. And types ahahaahhaha you suck veyron driver loool. So then kid no.2 says next race only road cars. Next race? Its a cop lobby pal:odd: So he changes the room name. Then kid no.1 says "I dont have a road car" and pulls out his x2014 . "same" says kid 1 and pulls out an FGT. (By this time they are 6 people in the lobby, 2 people leave when they realise two kids are in x2014's) so, veyron guy gets his LMP car out. They both say "ROAD CARS ONLY!" he says "your in x2014's tho anyway" then LMP good guy get kicked for being in a race car.:boggled:(they are still in x1's) but I'm not done yet. I pull out my secret weapon. My Audi quattro S1 pikes peak. I go on track. "Ha.Ur gonna get destroyed lol" they said. I type "Just you wait...." I catch them up. My nippy audi was difting round every corner :O I heard them mumble "he sure can drift that audi....." And they start the race. In the end I win by +2 laps and get kicked as a result.

GREAT SUCCSES!👎👍👎;):mischievous:

Edit:I didnt mean those thumbs down in the last sentence but I won't let me get rid of them.:confused:

I'm surprised they didn't immediately boot you out the second they saw the S1 but then again, they were booting out people in race cars when they THEMSELVES were in race cars shouting Road Cars Only!!, so I was giving them too much credit in the brains department. :lol:

:lol::lol:They wasnt bothered when I got my S1 out they just laughed because they said would destroy it. Oh how wrong they were:mischievous:

And it's that reason alone that I'd never underestimate anyone or any car when online. Sleepers come in different forms depending on the scenario. ;)

I allow all tyres. I prefer players using racing softs for more grip. I only have the anti lock brake system allowed only in my cruise rooms. I often say when I am hosting " Speeding & dangerous driving is banned do it & INSTANT KICK" I also say "If I see anyone driving badly you will get my ban hammer to kingdom come!" & "If you drive dangerously you will be nominated for dismissal" As some of my other phrases.

So you allow RS tires because they are not good at racing? I don't blame you or else no one will race.


I'm still not having any luck online, every room I go into (street cars) they tune them to full fledged race cars. These guys maximize the grip to point it becomes a fairy tail land. I don't get how these ppl can have fun racing like that. Just a bunch of noobs I guess.

I started a room for the last two days where I only allow Sports tires, PP limit to 550, all aids off except ABS and penalty on weak. I literally get 20 to 30 ppl come join my lobby most of them read the rules then leave a few would stay then hit the track start crashing then leave. LOL Not once did I get a race with anyone. What a joke.
 
I think I kinda need to weed out the idiots a bit

Get to know the good cruisers on GT6.
