    Either I am doing something wrong, my internet is shockingly bad or no one plays rFactor 2 Beta!

    There is hardly anyone ever online! Went on this morning and there were a total of EIGHT people playing! 4, 2, and 2 in each server! I couldnt even get into the one with 4 in it as I had some mismatch!

    I am based in the UK, any ideas? I do notice that duing the evenign there are a few more on, but even then no more than 30 odd and about 15 of them are in the ISR server (which I love thankfully)

    Build 69 on my PC is so awful that I stopped; there are easier ways to get a headache. I did play online with build 60, and now I'm waiting for better days before I resume. I think there might be others waiting too.

    If you join at night (european time), you'll find one server full of megane drivers (yesterday 30 noobs...err... drivers online ;)). The rest remained mostly empty, sadly.

    I'll be online tonight then! :)

    Sadly I might be one of those noobs, but I'm a clean and fair noob who obeys blue flags.

    Perhaps there will be many more online when it's released :)

    Let's hope so.
    Most of us in the servers are noobs or have recently been (I used the term noobs in my previous post because we could say it's been the hot subject of the last weeks in the forum). But I'm afraid the most dangerous drivers aren't the noobs who are learning the track, testing new set-ups and/or fearfully learning to cope with other drivers online. The dangerous ones, in my opinion, are those who want to overtake you at the next curve, no matter if there's room, if you are on the racing line, if you're already on the curve apex.... their impatience minds will make them dive like crazy as soon as a car is in front of them and, of course, at least one of the two drivers won't make it to the next curve.
