Can’t play online

[R9NALD9]

Getting the same here in South Africa. Strange on PC I have no issues joining online races but on my PS4 there is never any servers.

 

[csmirnoff]

Yeah I did it via Now Playing menu. It has to say “join session” or it doesn’t work. Also you can’t join once they’re already in a race.

Ok, thanks, will try again tonight with another friend.

I've had slightly better luck through social media than through 505's terrible support agents... You can read my entire tweet thread with them here, at least they finally acknowledged there is an issue... If you have Twitter, tweet under that thread so they realise there are lots of players with the same issue on different countries.

I tried it with a different friend and it didn’t work, just said lobby was full. Guess it’s hit or miss.

Yeah I saw that on acc forum. That’s good, I’ve sent bug reports to them but they should be just reading these threads lol

Hi guys, I have the same problem playing ACC for console play station 4. I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I don't have servers available to play quick game. I still don't know if I will be able to play competitive servers since my SA is only 31. I'm going to complain via twitter to the 505 games support team.

Following some further interaction with the CM on Twitter and a few ideas I sent them in the tweet thread I posted above, they managed to fix it! If you don't have a quickjoin server, go to Server List and it should now work!!

I'm now famous...

 

[Leonardo46]

Good News!
I did the test and it worked correctly.

That seems like a different issue.

The problem with the server list was fixed server side (not related to the game update) and had to do with a latency filter they had in place. Basically it was filtering very agressively, leaving every country far from servers unable to see any servers. I had between 30 to 40ms ping to most East US servers when I tried yet with their filter I had no servers available.

I’ve had that happen as well, but only once or twice, it’s a separate issue though. How often is that happening to you?

Works now in Australia 👍. There's still no Quick Join but using your advice I checked the Server List and I can access online from there.

Friggin legend! How the hell does it take someone messaging them on twitter to finally fix their issue!?

Now can you get them to fix it so my game doesn’t keep ****ing crashing every time I touch anything to do with multiplayer??? Currently trying a backup and reinstall but never had this problem with any other game.

It's happened everytime I try do multiplayer since the day before release. Doesn't matter if I join a specific server or just quick start

Well my twitter messages are ignored so I still cant make a driver profile.
Sure enjoying the offline driving tho

So I finally found out what the crashing issue was when trying to do anything in multiplayer for some players. Apparently having too many friends is the issue. First I set the friend weight in the settings to zero which I thought did the trick but it crashed again soon after. I then deleted about 100 out of 200 psn friends and went back to multiplayer and it worked flawlessly. Turned my friend weight back to 80 and it’s fine.

Someone twitter this to 505 so it gets fixed lol

Rofl.. I'm not going to delete 100 people just to join an online race without the game crashing. I'll wait for them to fix that on their end what a stuff up though

Maybe try with a secondary PSN account?

I'll actually give that a try to confirm this is the problem

Can anyone else confirm this? I've get blue screen of death 100% the time I try to view the server list in multiplayer and I have 185 friends. I know others that don't have issues and they have around 120 friends. I know someone else though with 200 friends that can connect without issue so not sure this is legit or just coincidence

 

[Nelson Medway]

I get the blue screen 100% of the time also In the MP menus. I can't even browse the server list or select a car without it crashing. Just over 200 people on my friends list.

 

[UrsineSaturn9]

So, account and/or friends list does actually appear to affect multiplayer stability. In main account, actually could see server list for the first time ever, but exit server list and renter would crash game everytime. Changed to alternate account with zero friends and can enter in and out of server list repeatedly with no crashing. Weird, but a possible workaround for now

You can also try lowering your friends weight in the MP settings. See if that helps at all. It’s the first thing I tried before deleting friends and it seems to have at least some effect.

 

[UrsineSaturn9]

I can report that multiplayer now stable for me with friends list down at 150

 

[UrsineSaturn9]

Yep, this works

 

[Nelson Medway]

Ive still only managed to get into two online lobbies since launch. Reinstalled the game, rebuilt database. Don't fancy deleting friends or creating a new account, they need to fix the damn game.
Any patch news?

 

[Gazg1986]

Another patch and still no fix for my issue. The game has been out a month and still can't stay in a server without getting connection failure every time. I know people were having issues with blue screen being linked to having too many friends on their list but I haven't had any blue screens whatsoever.
