Shame it wouldn't let me play on LIVE for some reason (could play other games on live) i was gonna go backwards and take people out <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile16.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":/" title=":/"> text/html 2008-05-18T23:52:36-05:00 Brendan Gonsalves http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71470/?l=1#536276 I am sorry I just have to rant about what just happened to me while racing online.<br /> <br /> It was in a full session (twelve players). Nine out of the twelve racers were from Brazil. I started in third place and ended up winning the race. Then after the race all the Brazilians team up on me and &quot;vote kick&quot; me as if I had done something wrong!? WTH did I do? They kick me cause I beat them!? Where is the justice? Bunch of sore losers! <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile7.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":O" title=":O"><br /> <br /> I really hate it when when a nation fills up a &quot;session&quot; and then runs it as if belonged to them. Codemaster <i>please</i> allow users to create dedicated servers so this type of nonsense does not happen in the final version of the game! text/html 2008-05-17T10:07:00-05:00 Tam the Bam http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71470/?l=1#536158 Brendan Gonsalves said: <div class="quote">TamTheBam said: <div class="quote"><br /> It's not lag.

I was lagging for about two seconds and right after I stopped lagging the driver behind me zoomed past me. <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile9.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":|" title=":|"><br /> <br /> No offense but I would rather play online with people who are on the same continent to reduce the effects of lag. It is really quite irritating. I HOPE they allow users to create dedicated servers. text/html 2008-05-16T20:22:40-05:00 Tam the Bam http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71470/?l=1#536127 There's some cheats on the online mode! I was 1st place, well ahead, if someone's in <br /> first place, and well ahead, you can not catch up unless 1st position messes up or<br /> slows down. I was on a straight, on my GPS everything was clear.<br /> Boom! All of a sudden, in my rear view, this german guys's headin toward me like<br /> a missile from NO WHERE! That's impossible to do. I was on a roll (as per usuall lol)<br /> and the he slipstreams me, and shoots off. I couldn't keep up with him.<br /> This only happens on the odd occassion. I know how this game plays, and what he<br /> did was some form of cheating. Bang out of order!<br /> <br /> ** Catch Up mode is off. Impossible to Slipstream from a huge distance gap. text/html 2008-05-16T20:01:37-05:00 Brendan Gonsalves http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71470/?l=1#536126 Thats pretty good FLO. My best score was about 340 000. Does turning off the driving assists make drifting easier?<br /> <br /> By the way, the online racing with the touring cars is my favorite part of the demo. There are some really good racers to compete against! text/html 2008-05-16T15:57:10-05:00 FLO 1337 http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71470/?l=1#536109 TamTheBam said: <div class="quote"> <br /> Highest scores for the Drift please! My last account became corrupt?? So have to <br /> start again. I got a s**t hot drift score on my last account. I'll post my new on in <br /> a few mins.<br /> <br /> 165,861 Best drift, 66,334 best Combo. I got hammered from the AI opponent.<br /> He got over 600k what a cheat! </div><br /> <br /> So far I like the game, runs good, looks good and plays good. Haven't tried the online yet. So far my top drift score is 580,000ish, turn off all the assists and have fun!! I'm sure by now though Tam you are little better! <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile5.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":P" title=":P"><br /> <br /> On a side note, this game doesn't offically support sli but there is a way to enable it with nhancer. Just create a profile with grid.exe and under the sli tab - Compatibility flags: uncheck all boxes except 14 and 22 and change the sli mode to 3-way AFR<br /> text/html 2008-05-12T20:54:02-05:00 Tam the Bam http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71470/?l=1#535850 <br /> Yea the QuickRace is hardly ever on the go as yet. The Custom Races, I've seen about<br /> 15 servers. I think by the end of the week, it'll be more diverse text/html 2008-05-12T20:29:40-05:00 Brendan Gonsalves http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71470/?l=1#535848 When I select custom sessions I see just a few severs (3-5) all of which are full.<br /> <br /> When I click quick race it says unable to find any sessions. <br /> <br /> This is not the first time this has happened to me.<br /> <br /> I added you to my xfire. text/html 2008-05-12T19:50:36-05:00 Tam the Bam http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71470/?l=1#535847 <br /> Do you not select custom matches?
