MULTIPLAYER GT4 in Multiplayer and Competition Servers - Changes in Version 1.5

@Minolin Have you made some changes on Lobby's server so new servers are unable to be listed immediately?
I have to wait up to 10 minutes so I can get it.

Sorry if this thread is duplicated. I really looked in others threads but I was unable to find the answer.

Thanks

 

@Minolin - is there ever going to be CP servers based in the Oceania region?

We have a fairly large player base and I have owned the game since day 1 of early access but not been able to take part in this area of the game.

More recently it looks like we have the ability to join a US based server but it runs once daily at 8 or 9am.

Do you think it will ever happen?

 

Hey Carbo There are more than 1 race for us in the morning. Currently, with the daylight time in eastern Australia, we have a 10am, 12pm and 2pm US server based schedule. 45 mins for the 10 and 2 and 60 mins for the 12pm one.
The issue still remains that for some, they can join US server no problem at all. Some others can only join using a VPN (weirdly, connected to another Melbourne based VPN server, not a US based one as you would assume), and there are the final group that despite all my recommendations to get them racing in CP races, NOTHING works for them. I have no idea what the blockage is related to with the connection to the servers, perhaps it's ISP related, as some people see them as per normal and others need workarounds.

I'd also like to see the ability to choose the region to connect to. EU would be a bit touch and go for ping for us, but it would offer Oceanic players another time zone and potentially more drivers for that region. The obvious solution as I've stated tonight in another thread is a) host a server central to SEA / AU / NZ location, so everyone has a good connection, and also base the time slots in our peak time (6, 8, 10pm would suffice), or b) leave the server that is currently hosting the US races running, and just have another group of races that match that previous 6, 8, 10pm Oceanic local schedule. I can't imagine it would take any more infrastructure to achieve that, at all. Same hardware, same investment, just run the server live for another group of races.

What would be a shame, is IF we did indeed get AU local servers, it would default us to that server and then leave us unable to participate in the morning races on the US server, as it currently is set up. That's a shame, as for people like us who have a fair few league commitments at night, it's a great time to wake up on a day off, or even before work, and jump on for a US based race in the morning. I'd really like to see some of these things implemented because as far as I can see, it's simply a matter of picking which solution (hopefully multiple ones) and doing it. I'm not in the inner sanctum of course so I don't know what goes on but a simple "Select your region" button on the MP screen along with running the current US server for our peak time races seems super doable in a short amount of time.

 

The multi-class in the Competition Sever is dead. Its is full GT3 raight now.

Devs, do you have something in mind to solve this in the future? like a method to balance the multi-class slots.

Regards.

 

They can't make people race in gt4s?
