Series Announcement
Regarding witnessed improvement on PS4 to PS5 cross platform play in lobbies. SNAIL Sunday Spec racing had a very smooth night with a full 16 car field with drivers on both platforms. This prompted me to see for myself. I reviewed some of their replays from Sunday night, and everything, in fact, did look very good and smooth.
I opened a room this afternoon and had
@fruitloop31 join me for a session for a few races knowing he on a PS4. Racing was flawless and smooth as you can see in the stream:
I have officially decided to allow PS4 driver entries for the series, but in a Reserve driver role. All PS4 driver entries will be placed on a PS4 driver roster. These driver may confirm their availability at anytime after the most recent event. This only establishes priority among their PS4 driver pool.
For this season in the Porsche, PS5 Drivers will maintain confirmation and grid priority up to the Thursday before a race night at 5pm est. At that time, if the grid is not full from PS5 driver confirmations, the open positions will be opened to the PS4 driver roster with spots filled in the order that PS4 drivers confirmed available.
PS5 drivers that confirmed outside the first 16 will still maintain reserve priority to bump in. Once all confrimed PS5 players are exhausted, it will then go the PS4 pool for open spots.
As is the case with the PS5 roster, all drivers should be on a hard wired connection and clear their cache before room entry. Any noticeable lag, jittering, screeching will be assessed during the warm up session. If excessive issues are noticed by a number of drivers, and cannot be resolved before the start of qualifying, that driver will be asked to leave if Reserve drivers (PS5 or PS4) are online and ready to race. A psn message invite will be sent for the available reserve to enter the race room.
All PS4 entries will be assessed for network stabilty and must be approved before final acceptance onto the PS4 reserve roster.
If the inclusion of PS4 drivers proves successful in this capacity, I will be considering opening entries to all drivers for our next series.
PS4 drivers are to follow all sign up instructions and processes as a normal driver.
