Is there a way of connecting directly to the server bypassing the lobby if the lobby is down for a while? I came across this:- http://www.altbierbude.de/donate/dip.html..which looks to allow connecting to an external server as though it's on the LAN. |

Yeah, other sites call it the anti-deco patch. But it seems to cause problems for users when the server returns?

Will this event be postponed? If it is I might choose not to drive home tommorow night.

Ok starting to panic now chaps! Really want to race this track online!
Does anyone know enough about using Hamachi to get around this that perhaps there's hope even if the lobby doesn't return?
I know it can be used to simulate a LAN but had a look last night and I'll be damned if I can find the articles on just how that would work for us and GTL's IP connect.

I have a problem with this track. I'm getting CTD's regularly after anywhere between 1 and 20 laps. I've tested extensively today, leaving it running AI races here, at Hockenheim and at Silverstone. Same cars each time - all GTC76 plus the mini, including the 1310 but minus the two dodgy ones. Hock ran 63 laps and Silverstone 50 without a problem. Back to Adelaide and it crashed within 5 laps. Naturally I've tried reloading this track.

I'm not quite sure if it helps, but, try to delete the track and the HAT file of the track and reinstall it. |

GTL Lobby
As you may be aware, for the past few days, the GTL lobby has been down. We currently do not know if this is a short term or permanent situation.
Although we are aware of available software workarounds, we feel that without the time to test their effectiveness, and mode of operation, and as time is short before the next GTL event is due to be run, we would probably not be able to arrange everything necessary in time.
Therefore if at 18:00 hrs BST Thursday 9th July the GTL lobby is still unavailable, this GTL event will be cancelled and an alternative P&G Fun race will be held.
I will shortly setup the P&G Fun race and post the details.
We are sorry that we have to take this action but we have waited as long as we could for the GTL Lobby to return.

Thanks for keeping us informed on this Tony. I've just been trying to connect to a GTR2 event and it looks like there is a similar problem; ie no list of events when entering the lobby  Anyone else having difficulties? |

This is what I just read in Racedepartment site. Quote: The GT Legends lobby system is down as most of you will know. The reason is that a formerly 10Tacle owned domain name integral to the service was discontinued the other day after obviously not being paid by the now defunct 10Tacle company..
SimBin are now in the process of buying the domain name to get the lobby up and running again. If things go smooth it should be back in a matter of a few days... but if the URL can for some reason not be purchased then a patch has to be made instead in order to keep GTL alive, and that will take more time. SimBin are commited to seeing this situation through and make GTL available online again, but there are no official timelines on the matter. Unquote  |
