Hi, i was just wondering if anyone could shed some light on this...

I logged on to GTR on Sunday to take part in the Endurance event, and to my horror (it was nasty - i had bargained with the mrs to do some decorating in exchange to spend the evening racing) there were no servers, no drivers, or anything in the Lobby.
I tried GTL and this worked fine.
Tried GTR again and still no other servers/drivers - does anyone know what the problem is?

I can see that most others managed to join and race on sunday - could this be a problem with my firewall? Only thing is, all was well untill this happend on  sunday... Huh

1 final thing, whenevr i start GTL or GTR, my router seems to disconnect, and i have to nearly always ctrl alt dlt/task manager, and start up my router again - is this a problem with GTR/GTL?

I never have any of this when logging on to any other game/program online...

Did you perchance happen to see whether you were in the main or backup lobby? The GTR Lobby server is notoriously unreliable. Sad

Is the router a software thing?

just for my information, how does one know if they are in the back up lobby?

my method was always 'ahh only a few servers, must be the backup lobby'

but is there another way?

When you first arrive at the screen it says "welcome to the GTR lobby" or "welcome to the backup lobby" (or something like that) in the chat box in the lower right of the screen.

Lobby seems fine for me. I just wish it didn't keep putting me in stupid chat channels.

Are you sure the router isn't blocking, try disabling the firewall on router. I have this problem with BF2, till i turned off router firewall.

Well, after hours of trying, i still can't get online with GTR.
All i get in the lobby is 'Welcome to GTR Online'  - no drivers, no servers.
I have de-installed router, re-installed it again with software
De-installed GTR and re-installed it again
I have checked the ports on my firewall (Black Ice & Windows Firewall running)
Checked the router security etc - all ok and as it was before when GTR connected online.

All other games and applications are working as they should online (BF2, GT Legends etc).

Does anyone have any idea why i can't log onto the GTR Lobby?
Is anyone having the same problem?

Is there a specific file in the GTR program files on my Hard Drive, which will tell me the specified IP address thegame should or is connecting to, and check?

Is there a god?

Why does this always happen to me?

Thankyou for listening

What happens when you turn off all your firewalls and try to connect?

IIRC there are several ports used just for outbound packets alone : 2 tcp ports needed as well as a (possibly dynamic) udp port.
