Just found myself being ‘kicked for inactivity’ after what would be no more than 10 seconds where I didn’t press any button on my controller.
I’m all for kicking inactive people, but 10 seconds is a joke. Definitely think this needs to be looked at in future updates
Yep they went from one extreme to another.
I used to wait up on the races I use to crush at so in order to not DNF other players, you need to be real smart about it now instead of waiting at the line. Need to slow down ad have controller input.
So if you need to swap your controller batteries you’re basically screwed?
No, they are exaggerating. You get a warning message after fifteen seconds of inactivity (and accelerating against a tree counts as inactivity, you have to actively move around to not be triggered as inactive) and then have ten seconds to do something about it. So it’s closer to half a minute of inactivity before you are kicked. It can be a bit annoying in Infection, you can’t just go to a safe spot and wait for the Infected, you have to move back and forth.
I just got kicked from a 2 hour long 11 lap Goliath race waiting for my friend at the finish line so he wouldn’t DNF and I get kicked for sitting there for more no more than 10 seconds and I’m now wondering what you are going to do to help me out and fix this problem from the effect of your mistake.
that would be YOUR mistake
and it would be more than seconds as well, probably more than 30
read the rest of the comments in this thread, not the exaggerated 10 second ones either
there is never any compensation for this sort of thing
its no different than using rewind on goliath with races over 6 laps or trying to do 50 laps and getting disconnected
it’s basically learn from the experience and don’t do it again
Probably tell you to keep moving next time 
you get kicked for inactivity after 40 seconds
you get a warning at the 30 second mark
did you ignore the warning
it stays on the screen with a countdown for 10 seconds before disconnecting
Happens to me all the time on the Goliath on the straight sections when all your doing is gas and go. When it comes up you have 10 sec to hit the brake or some other function button or out you go. I have never gotten any other warning just the 10 sec message.
I’ve done probably close to 100 laps of Goliath if not more and never had any type of warning, including when waiting for people, or been kicked. That being said i don’t normally wait if second place is that far back.
the warning you get is after 30 seconds ( only if you stay completely still not moving the controller) is to keep moving or you will be disconnected in 10 seconds and then it counts down
that’s the only warning and if you don’t stay completely still for the 30 seconds you wont get it
if you are gonna be doing stupid long races of goliath make sure you have batteries for your controller close for when they do go flat, doesn’t take 30 seconds to replace them then or better still have a charging cable close
it’s only common sense for any game to begin with
Or have two controllers
Just to be clear, I run on on PC and use a G29. I guess the game does not see the steering of the car or 100% on the throttle as input.
That’s weird
At least you should get a warning message so you can do something about it
I do the 10 sec. warning LOL
Play and Charge… for the controller…
For the wheel press the horn - it counts as activity…
When racing multi-lap goliath if you use an auto box and no rewinds the xbox screen saver kicks in every 10 mins - to stop it , I just used to sound the horn when crossing the various bridges on the lap…
Just tried using the horn, and it didn’t count as activity. Got kicked for idle while racing and beeping my horn.
Actually, you can avoid the inactive timer just by moving your wheels side to side.
A friend of mine is sometimes kicking out.
He got the message “…inactivty” but he isn’t inactive!
We drive to this time races together and most in the middle of the race he got this message and than the server kicks him out…[Mod Edit - Abbreviated profanity, profanity and profanity that is disguised but still alludes to the words are not permitted - D]?
He plays the game with a G27.
Exactly like this guy in this video. The problem comes while driving.
Has to be what you are using to controll the game I have never recived this message unless I park up and put the controller down and even then it takes a few minuits Playing on Xbox One S 2tb with 2tb external using an Elite Controller not plugged in to the Xbox I use a separate power suppy if I need to plug it in due to low batteries. I also race on auto unless doing Drags. Any input from the controller should count as input unless it dose not change at all, even small movements of the steering should count. However The drivers for the device could be causing the issue.
