I can't get online either. I have 2 houses and a number of very nice cars, but to be honest it's not got that much pull without the online. So I'm going to wait until the downloadable content is released for PC and I can get online.

i believe the readme states the port numbers...also you need open up the ports for gamespy arcade so it can access the master server.

according to ataricommunity.com, seems like the problem is fixed.

ah cool, I dont know why they dident use high AA/high screen res on the game previews.

I though you might be able to walk around a bit, since I read somthing about getting chased by robbers or somthing.

i will take some screenies today to show you...

you do get chased by cop's...based on a similar 6 star setup to gta, but made into 3 stars, but there are two parts per star...so 6 all in all....

1 star you can loose cops are they wont car, any thing higher they will put more patrols out on you....and road blocks...

the way to loose then it to pay up :(...

Personally, i dont own the game ;) "trialware"....:toast:, but now i thinking twice, not to get it.

Reason people can use cheats and modify files and still play ok online, there is no punkbuster

others are peeps complain about lag, plus the servers are in control with gamespot, so no banning dumb players etc...

also you cant select what server you join...and cant join buddies...which is dumb.


all in all is a quite beautiful game...and very accurate highways to Oahu...

I've been chased a few times but only caught once, and I've never had more than 1 badge. I'm 68% of the way through. I don't understand how so many of you keep getting chased by the police lol.

quite easy, pretty much the only way to get all 3 stars is t crash into other ped's vehicles 6 times...:pimp:

.... "One of the most disappointing aspects of the game has been the online performance. When I have been able to get on, I found that the online players weren't taking things very seriously, turning our races into demolition derbies, or cheating, by bringing in a Ducati motorcycle against our poor underpowered Audis. You can create a custom game to turn off player crashes and limit what sort of vehicles are available, but it's hard to get one of these going."

Looks like I wont bother grabing a copy of this game... I'll save my $$$ towards a dx10 card and game :)

I got that quote from www.Gamespy.com

nope, its a CCR... shame, the CCX is so much better looking....
anyway, i love this game, just playing single player.
however, i still have a radeon x800 card, which means major sound quality drops. also, there are a lot more bugs yet- my menu system has completely died, meaning i have to guess the details of a race before i get there, pain in the ass....:banghead:
we need some major patches!
overall, though: :toast:
