Bram Hengeveld · May 9, 2014

On every of this small fixes AC Multiplayer is getting better, better and better. Joining servers is very solid now.

Yup, since 9.09 or 9.10 it usually takes me just 2-3 tries to join, not up to 15 anymore

Since the last update, no servers show on the list

. Anyone else have this problem? I checked the official forum but there's not much discussion on the topic.

Edit: not sure what happened but it seems to have fixed itself.

Are we expecting anything new this Friday? Been a while since we got any content. Would be nice to get at least one car. Lets make it the 458 gt2!

For real? No new content? With a chance of getting burned with dislikes i am getting a bit bored. Maybe just need to step away to rf2 or some other game for a bit. When i try to get onto mp, there are barely 20 people within the whole server list. Some new content would have brought life back to ac for me. This is just my thoughts so take it easy guys. lol

Feel free to be bored and play whatever else you want, but if you are already bored and there is around 90% of the content already available, not sure how long you are going to stay interested once they release the last 10%.

Looking forward to future content as well. I was just thinking that if there was at least another car that would help through the mp process. Make sense? Just seems to me that mp doesn't have the amount of people playing as i would have thought and was hoping for. You have read my post on here i am sure, i really like AC and is one of my favorite sims. Just saying, it wouldn't hurt to put out at least a car to keep people busy while trying to work out mp.

I long for 9.13...with the possible fix: the AI is as fast as in 0.8 again. Somehow the AI is very slow even on 100%. It wasn't like that beforehand.

What days are you wanting to race? I've only really put in any amount of time getting to know a few cars and honestly I'm no where near bored.

I guess i wouldn't say i am bored, that was probably the wrong word to use. More like i was hoping for a little bit better mp play. Just hard to find a race most of the time i race. Between maybe 6:00pm to 11:00pm est. Most of my Steam buddies are uk time or even earlier.
