B-Spec Remote Race - Apologies

[strtgng]

My sincere apologies to getri, iNiff, chaosdd, WWR-Basher, and danboe2009 for killing a remote race on lap 8 of 10.

Sometimes you just can't explain to a 2 year old that her Care-Bears can wait just another 2 laps - especially around Suzuka.

 

[BoostedDC2]

I wanna apologize too. I've used several drivers from gmunday, dangerousb84, jakku-b, jeffD27, Sildeh, waw1lol, and probably a few others and have gotten them nothing.

I've done 5 races, only 2 have saved. Races with 14 to 16 drivers don't seem to work for me. Highest I have been able to use is 12. Is this a known issue or is it me?

[Sildeh]

It's alright Boosted I don't mind that bad, just use them when you can.

I just wish I knew why it was happening. The last race I ran my bob went from 8th to first. He had never finished higher than 7th as far as I know. It was the drive of his short life, but it's like it never happened.

Using 5 or 6 Bobs from one account won't cause issues will it?

Dont think so, ive been doing it with some people and the races i think have saved.

Yeah, not sure why some of the races don't save. Server burps maybe?

It just happened to me for the third time this week (The first on Tuesday when PSN went down, no real explanation for the other two). Hate to spend 20 minutes running a race for it not to save at the end. This last time, after I rebooted the game, I went to the GT website, and it showed the race that didn't save as running (Daytona, lap 16 of 25), but none of the cars were showing as moving. I closed the race out on the website, then re-opened it, and it showed the exact same thing, from the exact same point in the race. So apparently, the race stopped being "recorded" at that point, while it let me finish it on the PS3 before freezing.

My connection has been acting up today. Maybe that is what it is. I'm on DSL, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Thanks to everyone for their insight.

it's too bad, my bobs are used alot by some users, but when i'm hosting their bobs are usually occupied so it looks like i'm not hosting much

Yeah that has been happening to me. I sometimes sit in the lobby with a few empty slots and wait for a few guys to have drivers open. That does seem to work. I usually don't wait more than a minute or so.

 

[Eli10]

Lost another completed race to the internets.


Did PSN go down again? Won't let me sign back in.

EDIT: Back 5 minutes later. Still a bit p.o'd though.

 

[JeffD27]

I just had a YLOD, so I wont be racing your bobs anytime soon

I hope some of you will still be racing my bobs, but I don't mind if you remove me

That sux. I'll keep running your guys. It's not like you are choosing not run others drivers. I'm sure everyone is going to have stretches where they can't host for periods of time.

Does anyone know if there is a problem with logging intp www.gran-turismo.com today? I keep getting "Missing return URL parameter" when I try to log in.

And for that reason I apologise to any of my b-spec friends as I was going to host all day today. Will have to wait until Tuesday and Wednesday if I can't log in remotely!

Back on now, it was strange, but I logged into PSN on the palystation site and it was ok, went back to gran-turismo and logged in perfectly. Back B-Speccing

Thanks for the tip. This worked for me too.

I''l appologise to Testdosi, Silentprocess and Gumbysdonkey.

They left as friends since I did not run enough BSpec races for them it seems, but I was experiencing trouble hosting + I have over 40 BSpec friends I put in races, so no one is a lot in races.
