As far as I know nobody from here races one another in a regular basis. Not sure why really.
I'd be up for some Digital Spy races via private lobbies, that can be done, right?

The challenges tab was clickable earlier. There was a sub menu for solo and club challenges and then there was tabs for ongoing, received, create and community challenges to challenge other racers or clubs depending on which sub menu you're in. None of it was working mind, but hey it's progress.

I did attempt to make a video of it, but stupid me didn't realise you had to export it to the gallery in the sharefactory and I went and deleted the original video! (This was after 4 previous project attempts in the factory trying to figure out how to cut the video properly. )

Private lobbies aren't there at the moment I don't think, but word is that they're coming.

And yes, I'd be up for some online races too. But not against Lisa.B. Every leaderboard that comes up she's there sitting above me....

The problem surely can't be just down to server overload, as many many players have given up playing it. Of course I don't know the facts. Maybe as many keep Buying it as give up.

Ok. Fair enough.

Managed to scrape another drift star before I shut down there. Some corners I gain 1000s others zilch. I'm just inconsistent at it.

Never mind, I created a "Digital Spy 5" club. It's open, if anyone wants in?

Cheers

Challenges haven't been working. Some folk seen the menu springing to life but it didn't work.

Its concerning we're 4 weeks and counting now. More so for those who have completed the main tour I guess. Its fortunate they have no competition.

I know its last of worries but being a Sony showcase I'm surprised they didn't make use of controller speaker. Even at certain points passing a huge crowd maybe hearing them through it or something just to immerse us further into the game.

it isnt, the code that handles it all cant manage so it needs to be sorted out, just adding server capacity isnt the answer, they said this last week or the week before.

The challenges worked for about 2hrs yesterday according to the latest achievers on the 'And So It Begins!' trophy list - http://psnprofiles.com/trophy/2924-D...d-So-It-Begins Obviously word got around and then it was taken offline again. I got to see all the sub menus within the challenges section, but none of it was working for me.

I think evolution/sony have handled this really badly. They've basically locked down facebook/twitter with regards to updates on what is going on.
Someone's obviously decided radio silence is the best policy. Very poor imo.
Everytime I've played the team games the sides are most always 4 vs 2 or similarly lopsided. Even had 5 vs 1, poor guy had no chance, lol.

I was chasing her ghost around for about an hour last night on some of the hot hatch events. Girl's got moves.

I think it's more a case of they just can't give a firm ETA at the moment, they're clearly having to write some of the netcode up from scratch. There's only so many times they can post 'We're working round the clock...' etc.

I gave up doing the on line races for a while. I had to learn how to drive the 'DC' way first before jumping back in at the deep end. Talk about being 'out of your depth'

Lmao seems I have a big target on my back. If it's of any comfort I'm not that good at The Crew.

I'm sure on one of their fb status' they said they'd rather post an update when they've got something to say that has a meaningful impact on the game. Better than just repeating the same things all the time, they get no end of stick no matter what they post.

I wasn't getting the ghosts most of the time so I just kept racing and I thought I'd beaten one of her times but the leader boards took time to show up, it was an anxious few mins before my heart sank and I lowered my head in disbelief I got into the top 3 though . I'll have a look again tonight to see where I am on the boards.

A target that keeps disappearing off into the distance
