I've already said that my comms provider screwed my internet connection, so I can't host any races at the moment. I was running pretty much 24/7 before that.

Frason - am I in your contact list? I don't remember seeing you in mine. I can't check online or gran-turismo.com either at the moment, but as soon as I can I will try to determine why I'm not shown in your logs.

Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be able to check you @ gran-turismo.com and give a Ok that you are racing (at least other club members). :)
 
I am checking the GT website tonight and if it seems stable I will start up grinding again. I didn't feel like dealing with the constant drops.

Edit: Let the grinding begin, looks like I'm stable.
 
widget aint working right. Even with threads to 1 and delay to 25 sec, cant field a full race with 20+ friend list. If this keeps up and the constant hang-ups, Ill be done.

They might already be busy, turn on reciprocate so you can see what's going on in detail in the debug window.

Add some more PSN-friends and as above, use reciprocate.

Example;
Reserving a friend's driver. PSN: Kaprikorn80 Name: N.Anderson
Reserving a friend's driver. PSN: Kaprikorn80 Name: R.Knight
Reserving a friend's driver. PSN: Kaprikorn80 Name: I.Miller
Server refused to reserve buggs1a's driver even though it said it was free.
Server refused to reserve Kaprikorn80's driver even though it said it was free.

It's working fine for me and most others, I think your PSN-friends drivers are busy. Nothing wrong with the widget.

Oh, and leave the setting default, 4/0. I've never had to touch it. The reason why you don't get a full grid is explained above..

Check the logs for other club-members and you'll see that this is not a general issue with the widget. The ones I've checked got full grids.
 
Here's an idea for the rules.

For members not racing at all for 4-5 days without any notice are moved to Never Race in the widget on the members who race.

This way any free-rider will easily be detected, they won't be raced (ie. not get any free cr/xp) and at the same time the people who do race frequently are getting paid for their racing and their drivers would be more utilized.

After the weekly check or so, if they've started to race again, put them back to reciprocate.
If they haven't started to race after 7 days, they should leave and make room for new hungry members.

What do you guys think?

I believe we need more strict rules (or more clear rules), otherwise it makes no sense for us racing all the time to have PSN friends who don't pay back when that's the purpose of the club. :)
 
Good point frason.
If there are people willing to look up the lists of everyone let's say every Wednesday and Sunday it will work.

Jag-da-beast is open for delete.

I can do the Sunday evening check.

Agreed!

Chill mate, just leave widget at 4/0 as mentioned by keptang, thats best..when races are not full its bcos lots of members are online and racing and bobs are busy which for the club is a damn good thing.
 
Leaving it set to 4/0 not only gives me a error pop-up telling me to change it, but it also appears to hang-up more.

Wow.. i didn't know the grinder gave out message to change. I know it hangs a fair bit on "starting race", but imo not related to threads/delay setting.
 
I would also like to join the grind. I am rather new to GT5 (yeah shame on me :P).

My ID: RMA
Please add "GT5 grind" or something when requesting friendship

I will have my systems running pretty much every day over night (European times).

Thank you :)

Btw.. welcome to gtplanet!:)
 
I created a Google Docs-spreadsheet to keep track.
What do you think, 2-3 of us can use and update it?

What is a bit sad is that less than half of the club are green and have been hosted races between 2-3rd. :(
And we miss 2 members. :)

Yellow = no activity for last 3 days or are not running La Sarthe / enough club-members
No activity in the last 5 days, recommendation = Put to "Never Race" until activity.

I might have missed someone posting in the thread that they will be away, but think I've covered everyone.

What do you think?

 
Wakestriker, check your widget. You took my last driver so I was un-able to host for awhile.
 
I have activated debugging mode and cant find where i enter in the country code. It is not through not trying.

It says SEVERAL places in this thread where you enter it. In the the debug window, there is a small box that has Evaluate: above it. That's where ya enter the code. :embarrassed:

Definitely. At least I hope that is why, but obviously some members aren't racing frequently, new updated list shortly.
 
Update as of now, it looks quite a lot better already.


I'd suggest RMA is added to the club so we fill all slots?
 
U can change me to running la sarthe and more club members added to my always list. Check me out for today.
