Sport mode: everyone is stuck on the grid for me

[Ironhardt8]

New user here. Hello GTPlanet users. I just have a question: everyone is stuck on the grid for every race in sport mode for me. This hasn’t been an issue for me until recently (maybe two updates ago) ever since cars just appear stuck for me. I go into a public lobby and everything is fine, no issues there. My ratings have tanked since then. Has max sportsmanship rating since 2020 on gt sport. What is causing this? Help would be appreciated.

Its happened twice for me . No idea why. Probably a server issue. Nothing to be concerned about.

Yup, I had LOTS of races early in my GT life, where I 'won' every race I was in because all other participants were stuck on the grid. I had nearly a 100% win ratio for a long time, lol.

A computer nerd friend fixed it for me. As the article suggests, switching to NAT2 did the job.

we had a similar bug except in nations race we were driven by ai for an entire lap on deep forest.... then it went START and we suddenly had a chaotic race... also traffic was backed up from rolling start. GT7 fails

It's a connection issue, specifically NAT type 3 in my case.

I have mobile router(no wire) and It's always NAT 3 all other games I can play online regardless but GT7 and GTS everyone is stuck at start.
