Makeshift Shuffle - No Tuning RacesOpen

[Handlebar]

I cannot seem to log into PSN. Sony page says there are some areas with difficulties... Grrr.

@Torzilla - make sure you are into clean, untuned, racing, and have page 1 of this thread handy during events.

Send a PSN Message to Amar (right above your post) if younare trying to hop in today. May need a club invite.

 

[amarynceos]

Heya @Torzilla , we certainly do have room for one more! There's a lot of cars to buy to get set up, but it's well worth it in my book.

I think the club is public, no need for invites.

Ugh. I can log into PSN just fine, but when I fired up GT6 it gave me a 'cannot connect to server' error. :C

 

[Patrick8308]

Cant connect to PSN aswell

 

[Handlebar]

I am locked out/can't connect. I will see ya when I see ya. 🤬

 

[amarynceos]

Ugh, now I'm booted out of PSN and can't connect either. 🤬 No track day today, alas.

Try again tomorrow, those that can make it? *crosses fingers*

 

[Patrick8308]

I'm so pissed right now!

 

[Patrick8308]

PSN seems to work again, wanna still try a Track Day?

 

[Handlebar]

Yes! Be there in a minute!

 

[Handlebar]

I totally race clean, I might be a little rusty but I'd rather go off track and ruin my race than cause an incident. I tend to have a mentality of drive it like you own it.

 

[Patrick8308]

@Torzilla u can join the club now and you willd find a room in the lobby.

 

[Torzilla]

Thanks, but it's going to take me a while to get all these cars so I won't be able to make it today.

 

[nickg07]

[amarynceos]

Hey @nickg07 , been a while.

I've got a track list already set up for the next series, just have to pick some car lists to go with it.

 

[Handlebar]

Sounds good.

Good news - working hard has rewards. My better half suggested I chill out online because I did more than expected. See y'all soon.

 

[amarynceos]

Room up.

 

[nickg07]

Won't let me join, says compatability errir:/ already cleared cache.

 

[terrordog1490]

@nickg07, I've had that problem before. If you a re using Wi-Fi, go to your network settings, and check your connection status. If it says NAT Type: Failed, run an Internet connection test. Chances are, some sort of mild DNS error has screwed things up, and you're PS3 may not be able to detect your NAT type. The Internet connection test will force the PS3 to disconnect from your network, and reconnect, receiving a new IP address, and initializing all of its networking stuff properly. NAT Type 2 is ideal, and the PS3 usually likes to have uPNP enabled. If you're on a wired connection.... well, I only just recently managed to get one of those, and haven't had any issues with it on my end yet. On PSN's end OTOH..... Well, no network of servers can every really be expected to achieve much more than 99.999 percent up time.


Alternatively, sometimes your network might be fine, but it will give you an error stating that you cannot join right now, and that you have to wait a while. Waiting normally won't solve this one. If you are going to Community and then selecting amar, or any other friend who is in a club room, and trying to join it through them, it won't always work. For best results, navigate to the club page from Community, and then select the club room in there.

@amar, I actually thought that room you had set up was going to be the new weekend series. Almost any other week, that time would have probably worked. It just so happens that work wants to schedule me for evenings all of a sudden.

 

[nickg07]

Cheers i will review that and see. So much frustration. Thing is its jjust me and amar and I'm sure I've had this issue with him before in my other house on a separate Internet connection.

when the first race started i had only 4 of 5 racers showing :/
