Supposed to still be operating a 1 out 1 in limited players deal.

Edit: project cars might also have problems but you'd think they'll take the hint with dc problems.

Got online to the screen where it shows you friends clubs then got booted of again after all of 5 seconds before I could really read what anything said.

Don't really want to play it just now as any XP I earn won't go towards the club. I've completed up until the end of the rookie club so that'll do for now.

It's a miracle! I was driving in a race & a green message popped up on screen & said that connection had been restored 👏 Joined the club but says it has -60,000 odd XP? Unlocked the Golf GTi now so I'm happy.

Edit: and its disconnected again...

I agree, I initially was going to play the PS+ Driveclub and then possibly buy it but now my interest in the game is going down by the day...
Yep me too. I've been looking forward to playing this but now I really am losing interest. I might just wait for the next Gran Turismo or play GT3 when ps now comes out, that will probably be sooner.

Well I sent a request to join the club digital spy1.
I did the same before being booted off the servers and couldn't get back on so gave up and went back to FH2.

We're halfway through level 2 now. The club points seen to be working fine now (touch wood) but multiplayer races & challenges aren't working yet.

Edit: just switched of requiring approx 30k to level up

It's bad enough this happening but the fact it was meant to be a launch title and has been delayed this long and still isn't right... doh!

I have enjoyed the single player but I don't want to continue as any races I participate in won't count towards my club's bonus if I am offline. Surely a better way to implement this feature would be for the game to cache the accrued XP til such time the console can reach the servers. This is how trophies are handled on PSN after all.

Still not managed to get online. Been doing a few custom races, setting the time and clock advance. Mostly Scotland, it's like belting around the highlands. It looks so like the area around Loch Ness.
I still get frustrated with the overly agressive driving of the AI cars.

The ai seems to be puting a lot of folk off. Maybe they could tweak that ?

I'm finding drifting hard to get the hang of drifting, and the AI didn't bother me in the earlier stages but are now causing me to lose control and lose races due to them just driving straight in to the back of me at full speed.

Really want to get a club going now!!

Drifting is tough. I usually just do a handbrake turn and hope for the best.

I'm put off playing too much of this too until the club comes back online. Don't want to waste points.

Just turned on my playstation and it downloaded update 1.03 for driveclub which "implements several game-side fixes to reduce server load"

Still can't connect to servers tho. At least they're trying I guess.

A lot less squirrely. Arcadey though. Be prepared to get knocked off the track by AI though.

I found this hard, but i think i've got the knack now. I've been doing a lot of single player custom drift races.

Still no online though

Just did a drifting event there where I had to get 6300 points to get the 3 stars. Got there in the end but it was torture. Good practice tho.
