After the recent major graphics overhaul I now have major problems with multiplayer connection. Most of the servers now are very laggy and jittery and I usually get kicked either immediately or after a lap or two. Before the update I had a great connection and had worked my way up to 1800 points in the rankings. Now, with constant server discos, I am languishing at about 1650 and dropping - I just can't race online any more. I have tried updating Windows, updating my graphics driver, updating my network card driver and turning down all the options to lessen the impact on track and car graphics - but not an iota of improvement. So, after spending quite a bit of money buying tracks and cars, I have to give up online multiplayer racing and look elsewhere. Damn shame cos I really liked this game until October.
