With regards to switching up lobbies, that'd be a no unless there are connection problems. with this many drivers the event is hard enough to organise without everyone doing a "re-shuffle" every 2 hours!

I do understand about not seeing some of the cars, but what it should mean is that you're grouped with drivers on a similar pace to you, so there's less chance of you driving a lonely 2 hours!

10-4 was wondering what it would be like driving 20 minutes at a time occasionally finding a straggling GT car here and there then going back off for another 20 minutes lol.... Hope the racing is good - a lot of teams have been practicing a ton for this - me...yeah we'll see you on the track at this point Cheers

Well, we've lost 5 in as many days, and lost contact with a 6th about the time the stints were to be finalized. I'm in a frenzy to look for at least one more quality driver I trust to fill his spot.

Shut your mouth. You did no such thing. I can not afford that in the slightest.

don't worry it's working fine, i would have gone and bought a new one today if it wasn't - i'm raring to go off to stock up on energy drinks and easy snack food, and if i have to cover 1,400+ miles this weekend i'll feel like a legend Smile

Can you go buy me a teammate? I'm getting tired of everyone flaking on me at the last second. Evil or Very Mad

I sympathise as it's happened to me before. Just do what I did and make a little blacklist (keep it to yourself - we don't want naming and shaming here, it's already obvious to anyone who they are without starting flame wars on here). These people either struggle to find teammates in future, or all buddy together into phantom teams that never materialise.

Just thought I'd add that I have an extra xbox and capture card... its not hd but it works... I broadcasted some GT5 stuff in the past so, in a pinch, I could help out this weekend or in the future... Just thought I'd let yall know.

Do a XBL connection test. Do it now. Better make sure your NAT settings are in order or it could be a very short non-race for you tomorrow.

Which drivers are in lobby A,B,C so i know which one im hosting and who i have to invite as im working 1-9 today want to be ready for my 10-2 stint.

by AAR corwinMB Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 8:20

Forza Motosports servers are down - you can still create lobbies and race but chat was very choppy - me and TEG just got done doing a 2 hour stint and dwhile we didnt drop from the lobby it was very hard to understand each other. Just a headsup for the early morning stints

by **Richy59** Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 8:45

Oh man, I hope they get it fixed within the next few hours. Mad

What if it was done through party chat? Because the chat (I find) is so much better through that

Party chat is usually of a better quality but at the expense of using more bandwidth. When I ran a few leagues, if one guy was racing with us, we had to be in game chat, as if he ws racing online, and in party chat, his connection couldnt deal with it, and would eventually lag out.
