First, let me say that I have now played a few matches online with other guys and it is great! I think it opens up a whole new level of simulator experience and I predict it will do more to grow our community than anything else. I have a few points or questions that I would like input on:
1) It seems that the last few days we have had server issues. I call it server issues because the system starts lagging or completely freezes you out. I have confirmed that I and my partner had good internet connections at the time, so, I assign it to server issues..
2) Regarding the above, I am assuming that our version of TGC is using basically the same code as the console version as far as online play and synching, etc. I would assume that the TGC code should be fairly stable if they have hundreds of guys playing matches on the console,etc. Do they have this issue? Has our version been updated with the latest online playing code? I guess these are questions for ProTee and hopefully he will see this and respond.
3) Please remember, if you are going to play a match, make sure you have added all players as friends in TGC
4)Also, please remember that every player must add every other player to the round.
5) and remember to enable turn order after you have added all the other players. This option will not show up in your menu until you have added at least one player.
6) If you do have lagging issues or freeze up, the best thing to do is to go to menu, disable "turn order" and resume game. Your screen should now go to your shot....but, the important thing is to now go back to menu and re-enable "turn order" before you hit your shot. After you hit, the system will hopefully synch everyone up.
I really hope Protess can get this lagging or freezing issue resolved because online play is really, really fun. It's almost like crack to me ..... I played so much over the holidays that I have to take a few days off, etc. If you haven't tried it, do it...it's worth the setup and learning curve.
Almost forgot, I have started reading up on multi-player online play on the HB studio page....I believe we probably or using alot of the same code as the console guys. Her is the link: http://www.hb-studios.com/forum/index.php?board=18.0
