On the full game can you see everyone that is playing or does it just pick random people like on the demo.

It shows the 7 closest to you well it suppose to its been ok for me and ive managed to find my friends much better now. :)

You do know how to find your friends by pressing right d pad then go across to players then press X for filters scroll down to bottom change to friends. :)

There many filters you can do you can define skill level or car class to show or everyone choice is yours. :)

The filters don't seem to have any baring on who you see in game, though.

Huh if i set it to friends then i only see my friends on map it shows as a red car and track the movement then you click to join. :)

I done it 3 times now and they eventually show once with Kainz, Zico, Snipergecko.

Also the other filters wont work properly becasue everyone a rookie and there not many cars to test out class.

Like a say demo is very limited and donst show the broad scope like the full game will.

As you progress you become better skilled earn more cash from challenges and have some nice cars and houses oh and clothes.

And then you try to figure out why there's no one there, even though they show on the map :)

Even with the map set filtered to only show friends, I've never ran into anyone I know in the actual game world ;)

Hope they have this working in the release version. I'd rather see my buddies in game than a bunch of randoms.

Well they show for me have you played in the last couple of days because it has improved since the first day demo was released.

In fact Zico and Snipergecko can tell you because i found them both using the method Snipergecko today and Zico ther other day. Both clicking there names and then i waited for names to show which is now pretty instant.

It shows them included with a lot of other players then you just drive to them. Also of course you wont find them when driving around the server holds 60,000 players thats like finding needle in a haystack when you only see closest 7.

I admit its by no means perfect but it certainly has improved since the first day the demo was released.

Yup this is true. I don't know who found who first though as I did look for Bingham67 as well :). I did however use the filter to find Kainz.
 
The filter does work most of the time, it can be a bit finicky thats all. I've used it to find Zico and two other XBL buddies without any probs. I expect they'll be hard at work sorting out the networking side of things now as this demo, imo was a server stress test demo.
 
I know about the filter and when i do use the filter I can see my xbl buddies on the map but when i go to there location in game i can't find anyone.

Also in the demo when setting the filter to show everyone i can see loadsa people on the map but in game there is no-one to be seen, just the odd person.
 
The filtering doesn't work for me either, can see plenty of friends on the map but even if you click on their names to 'go there', when you get back into the actual game you just end up seeing random people again.

Really hope that it is sorted in the full game. Would ruin the game if you can't select to see just your xbl friends.

When ive done it there names appear in the group with other people so im not sure if mine have been luck or what but ive managed to do it last couple of days. :)

Well lets hope its all sorted for full game anyway im sure it will be. :)
