First off: RF2 has come a long way in many aspects since release...much of that in the past two years.
After what seemed like an eternity in getting even the smallest of glaring issues fixed for years, things suddenly changed.
Sadly, the one thing S397 cannot seem to deliver on is casual multiplayer.
Initially, it was not too difficult launching the title and getting into an online session.
Today, that seems harder than ever.
Despite checking all the boxes to select use same version...has players...same content, etc... in the multiplayer list, 95% fail to connect.
On selecting join MP session, it'll usually immediately start to download some needed component then just randomly fail...usually after successfully downloading on or more files.
During that time, the computer is also off limits.
Why has S397 failed so miserably at multiplayer, when titles like AC, ACC, RRE and even AMS2 are so easy to gain access to multiplayer?
The original Rfactor also suffered the same multiplayer niggles.
