This junk game doesnt permit or organise permissions for online races. I’ve now waited 45 mins in the same server and races going on but i can’t partake cos apparently im not one of the lucky ones to be invited to the esoteric illuminati race.

How old is this game now? And it isn’t fixed? Can’t believe this trash.
LOL I’m laughing in tears at ‘noobcanoon’, probably more than I should…
But yeah this happens to me too, I get dropped and left in lobby all the time. But I also have internet equivalent to the string-cup telephone so it’s hard to tell if its that or the game.
It’s a new bug (at least I’ve never experienced it before the update and I’m playing MP regularly). For me, the first race after joining a lobby works fine all the time. After this it’s becoming a gamble if I’m further able to participate or not. Even If I don’t switch the car or do anything at all, many second/third/and so on races start without me and numerous other people who were racing the previous one.
So, either I’m getting black screens back to the Xbox dashboard, races start without me, I can’t see anything because of the car pile-up or the connection gets lost because it lagged out during car selection. The pre-race menu isn’t even alpha-worthy. I can’t believe the amount of bugs there, complete trash.
This has got to be the most bug filled game on Xbox. I want to love it because I love racing games but it feels like a chore and a stroke of luck to successfully play multiplayer.
People keep saying this but I have hardly seen any of these bugs everybody talks about.
The only bugs I have noticed are
The TCS/SCM/ABS lights stay on in the tachometer
Some cars don’t appear correctly in the car select screen
Some cars occasionaly default to grey (seems to be fixed)
On the reward screen the credit sound would remain (seems to be fixed)
Multiplayer car select can be a little slow/laggy
Occasionally the muliplater loading screen the cars glitchs out and sometimes you can drive them about in the lobby area.
The cars headlights seem to be on in every race whether it is night or day
None of these things actually affect the game and are just trivial cosmetic annoyances really.
I have certainly played buggier games, Oblivion, Skyrim and GTA IV & V for example are all far more buggier games and in some cases can be almost unplayable.
im in cycle lobby and a class comes up that i actually want to race in and - oh, guess what, im one of the 5 or so ppl that arent ALLOWED to enter the race
Had this for the first time yesterday as well. I entered a lobby, 3/4 laps. I wait, nothing ever changes after the race is completed, then I see 1/4 laps. WTH?
Of course a slow internet connection will cause some of these problems.
Because of the complex syncronization between all the players a slow connection will play havoc with the game. Take your xbox to a mate who has a decent connection and see if you still have all these problems?
I would class anything above 50Meg as a decent connection. Playing with 10 or 20 you will have problems. Also it is latency that has a major effect too. You cant blame it all on the game and Turn 10 when you are using a bad internet connection.
This is why all the people in Brazil seem to complain about multiplayer as their internet infrastructure is generally quite bad.
Is this maybe something to do with changing cars or something. The only time I have not been able to race is when you first join a lobby. Sometimes it seems to miss the first race starting and you have to wait though a whole race again. But once I have joined a lobby and chosen my car I get to race in every race till I quit that lobby.
