You might need to check your NAT setting on your router, Forza seems very particular about it. If it isn't set to "open" then you'll need to go into your router and fiddle.... Can't remember how you do that though.

Go to network test on your 360 to check your NAT.

Knowlesy · 4 Jan 2008, 18:23 (Ref:2099417)

Yes, and then stare at the NAT setting and wonder how the hell you change it because you are stuck with a BT router.

if in this predicament, stay away from all blunt and sharp objects, particularly hammers and mallets

I've also heard that xBox Live has been playing up worldwide for the last 10 days.

Knowlesy · 4 Jan 2008, 22:41 (Ref:2099557)

Apparently so, I think COD4 was to blame for it!

Although it has seemed OK to me for the last week. There was a period of two or three days where you could not get on properly at all.

Rockmunky · 4 Jan 2008, 22:57 (Ref:2099572)

Apparently it was Ubisoft servers flopped or something and cocked it all up. But yes, was extremely irritating.

btw: You're right about COD4 being wayyy too short Knowlesy

Knowlesy · 4 Jan 2008, 23:02 (Ref:2099576)

Beautiful while it lasts, but very short. Can be done in an evening on normal.

There is always veteran difficulty.

Rockmunky · 4 Jan 2008, 23:09 (Ref:2099582)

Pfft, Hardened is annoying me, i keep getting killed inside the TV station...

Knowlesy · 4 Jan 2008, 23:13 (Ref:2099586)

Just got to take your time really. And hold your breath.

And if you're interested I have a 5 lap R3 race at road atlanta waiting for players right now

Send me a FR and i'll race you when i'm online.

Missed a nice race last night, STELTHY! Had you been able to make it and avoided tearing up your car, I think a pretty strong finish would have been on the cards in Room 2 - only P1 and P2 finished without major damage!

I was working. Was only halfway through my shift when you guys started, so there was no way i would've made it.

Just hope next time i have that day off.

jonboy1066 · 9 Jan 2008, 09:08 (Ref:2102403)

Hey Knowlesy good to finally meet up with you last night, now you just need to find your Comms LOL

Sorry about the Scaglietti smash up at Sunset I was completely out of control when I hit you and couldn't take any more avoiding action.

P'raps next time we race I'll have had a few less lagers LOL

Rockmunky · 9 Jan 2008, 12:06 (Ref:2102513)

You could send some my way, then try again with the Keoniggseggs!

Knowlesy · 9 Jan 2008, 19:47 (Ref:2102837)

Yeah it was good racing you all jonboy.

To be fair I was crap last night. Hadn't been online in ages and we were driving cars I haven't driven before. I sucked big time, although I got podiums each time out somehow. Dunno what happened with the Ferrari, just went on the kerb and it snapped completely sideways... I think I caught the back of your car as you passed, I was just gassing it to stay off the wall to be honest and so I didn't move further from the track as I guess you expected. My fault I would say.

Last race was definitely my fault! I followed some other guy into a wrong turn at Mugello (we turned off onto the long track instead of turning right onto the pit straight) and I mashed Rockmunky as I rejoined too quickly (in a rage). To make matters worse, he pipped me to second place at the line.

I also found out in some races today I have no decent cars for any class.

I have my comms but no charger for it....it's bugging me a lot, because it was always plugged in next to my TV and it's been lifted. Wonder if my mate has it. I ran out of battery playing PGR4 the other night.

Knowlesy · 10 Jan 2008, 19:01 (Ref:2103672)

Some new liveries...finally got round to having a go.

2002 Ford Focus WRC livery, work in progress (have only done most of the sides, a bit of the roof and a little bit of the back). The big hi-res photos are showing up some glitches in the Martini strikes, which are a pain in the arse to recreate..

And my Shell Pennzoil SEAT. Simple but pleasant.

nickyf1 · 10 Jan 2008, 20:05 (Ref:2103712)

Do the logos come in the game?

They look nice.

Knowlesy · 10 Jan 2008, 20:27 (Ref:2103737)

The motoring logos are already in, you have to make any others yourself. If you are trying to make an accurate livery, a lot of the logos are a bit inadequate really. For example, the Texaco decal is in a huge white box and only really useful on a white car.

Yeah I'll never understand that, same for the BILSTEIN logo, its in white in a big clear blue square..........we should have been given the possibility to modify the logos in shape and color.

Kempi · 11 Jan 2008, 20:23 (Ref:2104416)

Like any trademark owning company would allow that.

Knowlesy · 12 Jan 2008, 17:44 (Ref:2104829)

There should surely be some alteration allowed. For example, the Pirelli logo on the Focus I'm making - the only one available on the game is the red logo in a yellow box. The Focus needs a blue logo with no box. Why this wouldn't be allowed, I have no idea.

Knowlesy · 12 Jan 2008, 17:47 (Ref:2104831)

Speaking of the Focus, it is coming along reasonably well. I'm bloody useless though, so it is taking an age. I still have logos to make and some tidying up to do (e.g. the Martini 'strike' transition from the side of the car to the bonnet). But the basic livery is starting to take shape at least and I should be finished by 2012.

Yeah, it would be ncie if the logo's were pure logos, with a transparent background so they could be applied against anything.

Would make things easier..
