Hello, recently I’ve started playing hopper races and enjoying the racing quite a lot! However for some reason i get denied from racing with the other online players as if i have chosen to spectate, I can be ready almost instantly and still get denied participating.
Today this has happened 2 races in a row and has really annoyed me, not only have i missed out on races but i have wasted credits on my most favourite tuners set ups on cars I don’t usually use because i will most likely not use the car again!
Please fix this issue, i have seen another post like this so it’s not only me!
It seems that we are on our own on this I’ve seen numerous posts and threads on this issue and no official acknowledgement that the problem even exists. It’s a shame because the game is fun to play but in my opinion is too buggy and should never have been released in this state.
I managed about 10 races in a row earlier without being left in the lobby. All I did different was not press “a” to continue back to the lobby when each race ended. I need to try it more to see if it was doing anything or if it was just luck.
No, it’s at least A, B, and C as well, because those are the only ones I use, and it happens every other race. Multiplayer is a joke since the last update.
The only one that I’m having any issues with is cycled division as well. Played all other hoppers all day and into the next morning and didn’t have any issues with anything but cycled
I managed another 10 races yesterday without being left in the lobby, I think that all you need to do is not press any buttons after a race has finished and let the game drag you back to the lobby
I don’t have any problems getting into the actual lobby I more than often get left behind when the race is about to launch and the “waiting for cars” text is at the top of the screen, I sit with my fingers crossed. As said, it seems to be only cycled division rather than restricted class divisions
We are aware of an issue that causes players to be left behind in the cycled division if they are idling on the rules change fly out notification. If you are not on the rules changes notification when this happens, please email forzafb@microsoft.com so we can collect some information from you and investigate this issue.
Just had it happen in league races 4 times, again. Lost a full placement from 2 to 3…
This is becoming a disgusting joke. It’s 50/50 now on whether or not I get the spectator bug. Gotta ALT+F4 right away so I don’t ruin the other people’s race since it’s full sim league. Shameful, absolutely shameful.
Edit: Left the lobby to MAKE SURE I would get a fresh slate, still got the spectator bug.
I have started to experience this every few races, specifically in the Cycled Division Hopper. I don’t get put into the race despite being in the correct car, not applying tune setups or anything like that. Just sat on the main screen where you can see the lobby, what everyones driving, the track etc. But for some reason it doesn’t always put me in the race when the counter goes to 0.
I’ve never had this problem with any other hopper so I’m not sure if it is specific to the Cycled Division Hopper or if I’ve just been very lucky when racing in the other hoppers.
