PC2 Project Cars 2 Leagues (merged)

[Rob]

I know we are all excited for this release. What I don't know is how many people intend to a) play it on the xbox one and b) would like to join some sort of a formal league here at Race Department.

There are so many possibilities, I've had to calm myself down from getting lost in them. However, my main passion, IndyCar, will probably not be able to be run until the DLC with the ovals comes to the Xbox One.

That said, what sort of series would you like to see? Personally, ones that come to mind are Tudor United Sports Car Series, WEC, British Touring Car, and DTM. One of these could fill the gap for me until IndyCar is possible, but others may have better ideas.

Please indicate below if you are interested and what sort of times you are available and which series' you prefer. We could follow the actual schedule of many a series, due to the timing of the release. Personally, if they get the ovals out before IndyCar starts, I'll probably turn my focus there, but nothing would prevent running another alongside.

The anticipation is killing me!

Third week at prl and we have one complete race...and only think it haplened because only eight or nine people showed.

Thats a shame Tora had a much more succesful time of it. Some issues for sure but with the numbers they are managing in their league (about 10 lobbies and 140 drivers) it seems things went reasonably well.

Wish I could say the same..not sure what isgoing on..but we had to turn off tyre wear among other things for next week to bandaid the problem.im going to purposely blow engine and have people pit to test ..if not I just be incredibly unlucky. Lol

Why are you going to blow your engine Eric?

 

[Peter Hooper]

Looks me and Robert will be online tonight I'm going to shoot for 9pm EST

So what time is that here... I think it would be about 2am wouldn't it?

 

[mcnasty1]

To see if that causes the pit bug..and yea 2.am ur time

 

[mcnasty1]

Everytime ive got stuck someone had blown their engine priorv to my pit

 

[Daniel Smissen]

If you have a lobby at Oulton invite me, because I can't find where to simulate the 2x tire wear offline.

I do believe its in your general settings

 

[Rob]

Ive got stuck in pits with others twice now in two weeks..seems to happen after someone blows engine then there after anyone who enters pits gets held ..

Try some different strategies, like no fuel, no tires and no damage repair, each separately. See if they have an impact on being stuck. when tires are not changed, I seem to have better luck.

In my TORA race I had to pit twice for repairs. One time I didn't change tires and the other time I think I had to because I was missing one, but each time they let me out.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure I have been held after the patch. I'll check the forums, but if someone has been held (McNasty, I think you said something about this happening to you online post-patch) then or has forum info, please share. Thanks Michael also for the room tonight. I pitted three times just to test, but didn't have any problems. (Other than the nagging fuel option, which seems to allow no pitting without refueling to race max.)

Release notes for patch 2.0... Lots of good stuff but not a mention of the pitting bug which should be the big priority

non of the multiplayer issues i have seem to even be on there radar

 

[Peter Hooper]

And with this patch not likely to be out until mid to late July it means that even if they are included in the following patch you are looking at late Summer time before these major issues are fixed. Credit to them for getting three patches out in the space of around 3 months but I really would have thought online racing should have been a bigger priority with these fixes as they will cause people to walk away if not resolved.

17% Frame Rate increase on xbox one? That's HUGE!

I've never been convinced that many online connectivity issues are corrected with a patch. For instance, the debacle yesterday was not a patch issue. I'm hoping they address their obviously flawed hardware system for connecting gamers. And I did notce some multiplayer connection related fixes in 3.0 --

* Xbox One - fix attempt for a hard-to-reproduce issue where the game would at times freeze or crash when 8 or more players joined a session all at once.
* Xbox One – fixed an issue that at times would prevent a player from establishing full connectivity when leaving a lobby and trying to reconnect to it.

It is but it's only in 'extreme conditions' so not an overall improvement but one in specific circumstances.. whatever they may be. Good nonetheless though.

 

[Michael Watts]

I didn't have any issues last night other than the STUPID pitting issue where it raises your air pressure to 2.50 bar on all tires. Other than that everything worked.

 

[Michael Watts]

Just the tire pressure thing for me.. I think what I've done in the past is erase all other options and save them again in practice. But it is definitely getting better.

What debacle was that Robert?

The first one is hopefully the most important but we'll have to see gow it pans out in about a months time.

I like the fact that it will enable ytou to have your controller connected to navigate the menus etc. Shame it won't be available for extra buttons if required.

Does it always do that? And it does it always fill you up to the max fuel as well or is that only under certain circumstances?
