Posted by Spin HDThank you, Blonde! Are we required to show up for the warmup session?


No. Just be sure you're on at least 10-15 minutes before 3.

My game crashed during Quali

Due to extremely unstable servers on PC, today's races will have been postponed to a later date.

This game gives me headaches.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i got up at 5am for nothing

Damn it, that's fine not your fault what so ever its the stupid game, all this hype for nothing. When will the race be done?
Sat 06 Jun 2015, 22:54
People were warping all over the shop in that race for me.

It just doesn't work, and from looking at the patch notes for 1.4 there are no fixes coming for anything we experienced.

I think we are all disappointed but I feel the decision to postpone the race is the right thing to do at this time. May-be we should all be venting our frustration to the developers on the Project Cars Official forum, you never know it might help move things forward

It is what it is. Our hands are tied for the time being.

Sorry for all the confusion and frustration today, guys. In our nearly two and a half year history that is just the second time we've had to outright postpone a race. (The other came in the FM4 days when XBox Live went down.

We simply don't have any immediate answers as to when we can properly start on PC. It's really in the hands of SMS studios. Update 1.4 is slated to be released in less than two weeks. Hopefully that will be our answer and we can get back to doing what we all enjoy. Until then, all FM events will continue as scheduled.

Sucks the race has been delayed, at least it gives me a chance to get in on the first race of the season. :)

I can tell you from talks with Ian Bell at RD and other Race League Directors, the former is flippant about the situation and instead decides to trumpet how many sales the game has benchmarked (thanks Ian, now go fix your goddamn*d game) and the latters will tell you to a man that to try and run more than 8, maybe 10 in a lobby at this time will never work. Ergo, don't think it's going to get better anytime soon with their cloud server $ saving. (Note: the multiplayer problems may get better outside of patches, and they may not. Use will sure drop...that's for sure. Please be vocal elsewhere).

That's why I assumed we were being broken up. I ran a 2 hour league race afterwards with no problems. Two other leagues have chimed in on things that help:
1. No more than 10 in a lobby. (Break them up by qualifying if you have to, but at least you can run short tracks in fun cars, and when it works, it's WAY more immersive than Forza).
2. Everyone in a private party chat instead of game chat.

Problem is if you have 10 people racing; Party chat only supports 8 people.

Then 8 to a lobby. That's about the limit anyway. Sad, but worth it if you can ave a good race, since the gameplay is incredibly immersive.

Calendar has been updated.

There will be a practice/server test this Saturday at 4:00pm eastern / 9:00pm gmt at Brands Hatch and Donington Park.

We will start at Brands Hatch with a 30 minute practice, followed by a 10 minute qualifying session and a 10 lap race. Repeat at Donington Park.

Let's cross our fingers that the 1.4 update did some good for the online experience.

Ran in a few lobbies (8 and 12 players)the other night with very little lag which was great , the only thing that was messed up was the in game chat and party chat , but the game was very playable .I could of just been lucky tho so a server test is a great idea and hopefully it will run as good for us as it did for me the other night.Count me in
