Anyone else finding empty lobbys all the time?

What it says on the tin really. Does everyone else have this problem when u go to find race/ circuit or whatever/ class then you always get into a empty lobby ith nobody in and have to wait even though there is like 580 people playing. The first few times last night worked fine i was getting put into fairly full lobbys all day today though and i get put in an empty one and have to wait for people...

Re: Anyone else finding empty lobbys all the time?

I'm exactly the same mate. The only races I've managed to join are the circuit ones, although it's telling me there are lot's of other users in the other disciplines. To be honest, I'm quite disappointed with this game. I posted yesterday that every race I've participated in has involved at least one clown ramming me and others off track. The fact you can't create a race with, for example, collisions off, and let randoms join is a major flaw. Whether this is going to be added at a later date I don't know, but I'm actually seriously contemplating punting this game. PGR4 allows this, and while the 'realism' may not be on par, still a more enjoyable experience (for now).

Sorry for going off topic! Feel free to add me if you fancy a few races. I'll do likewise

Re: Anyone else finding empty lobbys all the time?

Ditto, lobbies mostly empty.

Played 2 online game on Sunday. Head to head with one guy and I won!
2nd game three players (came last). It does seem to need some work though, as they do seem rather quite.

How do get into the drag strip events?

Re: Anyone else finding empty lobbys all the time?

I tend to find on about the 9 or 10th time of quitting/joining you get put into a fullish lobby. Really, really needs fixing. Bit poor that T10 haven't at least acknowledged it considering the furore over them removing custom lobbies.

Re: Anyone else finding empty lobbys all the time?

i was going to get this game but racing online just gets annoying when you get ppl constantly smashing into you and knocking you of the track.
ive got GRID but dont play anymore as sometimes you coudnt get pass the 1st corner without some idiot putting you out of the race.
