I was on the servers for 20mins...honest, wish I'd screen grabbed the green banner!!!!

Good to see the Club now at lvl9....still not able to race online at all, even when I was on the server the online racing wouldn't work.

same here, I was able to level up the club via tour events but was unable to get a single MP matchup

Happened to me today as well. And once you're kicked you go to the back of the queue so I turned it off!

The level 15 club car (Pagani Zonda R) is crazy, anyone used it yet?

Sounds great, the speed and handing

EDIT, 5,000 3,000 3,000 so far

Wait till you get the Atom, You just can't drive that thing in a straight line!

5 glorious minutes I was connected just now, so I thought I'd quickly contribute some club points.

Disconnected 30 seconds into a race :/

This game is going to thrown in the bin soon by so many people, it's comming up to a week after release and still online isnt working, I for one havent even had chance to play online, shame could have been such a good game.

Starting to loose interest fast.

Genuine question:

What is the point in being able to join session with others while they/you are playing solo modes?

Dredd · 15 Oct 2014 at 21:14

Once people get a connection, are you getting discounted when playing single player?

Yep, not managed to stay connected for more than 5 minutes at a time yet.

I wondered that too, no idea.

Well I've done all the tour stars, and can't get a connection.

Without being able to try and better times in time trial or race online there's nothing I want to do really.

I'm worried for Evolution at this point, it doesn't look like they can fix the situation short of cutting the user base by 3/4.

I'm pretty confident the userbase will drop by 3/4 on it's own the way it is going.

spookywillow · 15 Oct 2014 at 22:02

None of my old friends play it anymore, Only the guys I added from here and even then thats not many.

Over the next 24 hours we are rolling out a new game update alongside server upgrades that will help to improve server performance, clubs and multiplayer functionality.

We are also running essential diagnostics periodically to help us continue to improve server performance, which may disrupt online play for you when you get connected. This will be kept to a minimum.

We're glad that more of you are getting to play online but we are sorry that many players are still having a hard time getting connected. We are working around the clock to improve connectivity and will keep you informed as we continue to make progress.

Didn't they also say it wasn't an issue with server hardware but rather an issue with their netcode?

Tbh it's sad but I imagine that's evolution done as a first party studio.

Yes.

i just tested something, once i've got a connection i quit what i was doing and went straight to online, i stayed connected

i lost it again going to story mode thing.

chris4652009 · 15 Oct 2014 at 22:29

I did that.

Was in single race, got green message mid race, quit out went on multiplayer then selected a race and registered, lost server in the syncing game/players bit.

It's broken
