You couldn't be more wrong. The PS4 and PS3 before it have games that require bandwidth. A solid, and I mean solid (never dropping below for any reason) 2mb down and 1mb up is enough to run the games. The problem is that most people that run a speedtest and see 1.2mb think they have that all the time when they really don't.

Most of the time, speed isn't even the issue. The issue is packet loss or just plain one guy's connection not talking to another guy's connection due to all the connections that it has to make along the path.

I've been here for a long time and I've noticed over the years that it always seems to be the same individuals that are involved in connection issues. If you are someone that has experienced issues over the years or been someone who has been cited by numerous people as not being able to be seen on track, I would suggest that you start looking into your own connection. If you've ever run in a fixed host room in SNAIL and you were the guy who was dropped from the room, the issue is on your end and you should look at trying to fix it. I know from experience who these individuals are as their name keeps coming up when the discussion switches to connection issues. If i know who you are, you should know who you are as well.

Well I’ve been here a few years. Am I on your list? If so then it just must be my body chemistry or something because everything is different now from when I raced in GT 5 and 6. I’m in a different house, different city, different gaming platform and different modem/router.

I need help. Now I can’t see @basswerks1.
I’m hardwired from the gateway to my PS4. I’ve assigned a static IP to my PS4 and added it to my router’s DMZ. I have 200 mb down and 11 mb up.
What do I need to do to fix this and finally start racing again?

What did you pick for DNS servers when you assigned the static IP. You might want to try a different public DNS server, that can sometimes help.

I am currently using 75.75.75.75/75.75.76.76. I’ve tried 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 also.

Try one of the ones on the open list https://www.lifewire.com/free-and-public-dns-servers-2626062 . Comcast DNS servers used to timeout and prioritize traffic, I would try Level3 and see how that works.

I'm sorry to say, I'lll be unable to attention the races tonight. I've been called in to cover someone's shift tonight. I might be able to attend 1 or 2 of the races but that if things go smooth (which rarely happens) bit I'm not counting on it.

I'll see ya guys next week.

Thanks. I'm hoping I can get out of work on time so I can get a round of racing in. I'm guessing my chances are appropriately 1 in 10 of making a round tonight, but we'll see what happens.

that sux. Good thing about it you dont work for free so might be a few extra bucks on payday. Wouldnt that be dope if you can get a paid off day for just for sim racing. Lol just bring in your race results and the absence is excused with pay. Wishfull thinking.

Scores for Jul 22 have been pushed to Data

Thanks to @msgt-sd who solved the issue with the wanky tables we had last week. The problem was pinpointed to the "D3" in @M1SS-D3V10US 's name. Go figure - if you program the computer to look for D3's, then it will find them. He fixed it to now look for the Dx's in the right places.
