I use that 🤬 for everything!

Are you trying to be "frank"

 

[SGETI]

I'm racing online all day, no issue

Your the lucky one. I suggest you do not sign off.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

I have reviewed 8 of the 11 reported incidents.

 

[Schmiggz]

Unfortunately I think I'll have to drop out from the ROC as I've been trying all day to sign in and it just doesn't happen. Let's see what happens till 9.30.

 

[brntguy]

No luck logging in either, planned on streaming it.

 

[GTP_Nail]

Doing IrS is all I can do...no Netflix, No Amazon, no online....divine intervention is requested...or the FBI might do.

 

[Schmiggz]

Yep, turned everything off and on again and nothing. PSN is down, period.

 

[TRL_Importlife]

Yeah me either I just tried to sign in and won't let me either

 

[TBongX]

I was able to log in yesterday, but I can't right now. Damn hackers!

 

[ONESPACE]

Not able to sign on, in Colorado either.

 

[USERID_77a23]

I can watch crackle/Netflix and everything visually on screen says I'm "online" but the game doesn't recognize I'm on ... Wth

 

[Skills]

Not able to sign on, in Colorado either.

Your location says FL. Did you move or just visiting CO?

PSN no worky. Guess my wife and I will run up the Directtv bill some more..

 

[GTP_Vertigo]

This is a bunch of horse malarcky. This people should be shot.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

What's odd here is the front end of www.playstation.com is up. It's apparently the authentication server that's down. I'd be willing to bet Sony pulled the plug on it just so folks couldn't enter their user IDs and passwords, in an effort to keep that hackage from occurring. The IT security industry just got even more lucrative.

No idea whats really going on. As I was able to login on line and update my info for the PS store. SO i would go out on a limb and say @Dragonwhisky you sir are correct.

 

[Lessen]

Thank goodness this has been the best Christmas for the kids. They've been having sooo much fun with all their new stuff. Kinda hard to get too upset over this. Now if I was single with no kids and didn't know Christ I'd probably be one mad *&^$%&%$@!

 

[Schmiggz]

The PSN is also dead in Portugal and same thing for the Xbox

Maybe all of our wall busting and "out of track" excursions caused the servers to crash...lol.

I moved to Colorado, just haven't updated profile yet. And i'm in no big hurry to do so , sorry

[ONESPACE]

why doesn't SNAIL used heavy damage. it sure would teach some drivers a thing or two. I'm probably not suppose to ask out in the open public or i'll get scolded, sorry. Just curious since this is suppose to be a clean league.

Short answer. Lag. One bad lag event from one driver has the potential to ruin the race for multiple drivers. At least with light damage, they are able to absorb the hit, have their damage fixed without the need for a pit stop, and continue on.

It is the responsibility of the overtaking driver to make a pass cleanly. Dont expect someone to slow down because you got a run on them and made contact when fender to fender.

What does that have to do with the question? JLBowler answered it perfectly.

Edit: Also, PSN still down...

 

[USERID_77a23]

It is the responsibility of the overtaking driver to make a pass cleanly. Dont expect someone to slow down because you got a run on them and made contact when fender to fender.

If the overtaking driver achieves overlap before turn-in, both drivers must drive two lanes through the turn and stick to their respective lane. Slowing down will need to happen from both in most cases

 

[Schmiggz]

Remember the PSN shut down 2 years ago? It took 3 weeks to fix! Hope that doesn't happen again.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

If it does we might get some free games out of it again.
