Hey
Like I told you online Sunny I think my lag problem is solved now. For some odd reason when I set my processor to run in hyper-threading/multithreading I get lag racing online. I know my motherboard should have been replaced some time ago since it also has a problem running in triple channel memory - I have a feeling it is the one causing this. Like you said you did not see any lag some days ago, but I totally forgot that setting BIOS to default enables hyper-threading.

Hi guys I have a question concerning the graphics from shift. Do they affect the gameplay/laptimes?

I have a question concerning the graphics from shift. Do they affect the gameplay/laptimes? Gameplay does seem to be affected by graphics, or perhaps some other system component. There are numerous videos at youtube and apparently depending on a player's system, some players appear to get more grip and/or less bouncing. The cornering speeds are higher for some players, and in the case of the loaner cars, like the Aston Martin or Maserati, there's no tuning, so it's not a setup issue.

I asked because I noticed that a lot of really fast players are using no shadows or low graphics although they have a fast system?

I think everyone should know about this texting bug. when your typing something while in the lobby waiting on race to start. The first line of text is fine the second line is (scrambled or garbage) un-readable, however the person who typed it can read it but everyone else can't read it... Here and example of aarog5606 typing a long sentence to me in the racing lobby, notice the second line of his message. The work around write short sentences just one liners...

Ohhh that was what you meant by garbage in my 2nd line - got it - sorry I had to leave the race earlier, something came up.

I found a new bug that just started happening to me in the passed two weeks. Ebsui West last tight turn, I came sliding into a tight turn and my car stalled out. sitting in the middle of the road and can't move. I had to do a car reset in order to get the car to move again, it's like wtf... weird azz game Anyone else had this happen...

I've seen the text bug happen on the first line as well, so it's just a generic bug.

After the "Cant Login" Bug now i loose connection every second race...last one i host with cip and green in it (and a other guy) and i have a fast and always stable connection but in the last lap with cip comming back on me *pouf* crash and no way to reconnect, i must restart the game ...after searching an hour for a lobby with cip and green in it...its really annoying...Btw i get also (and more often) the cannot connect lobby bug, i mean the game says "Connecting to lobby" but nothing happens and sometimes even when im creating a lobby o.O...unreal, im doing a server on my own PC but i cant connect it...its so laaaaaaaame... Maybe we should organise unranked races between us sometimes in LAN...to have fun cause between the new cheatersm the never ending ramfest and now these disconnects...im really getting bored with this game Greetz Marco

Just cancel that profile name request and wait till the EA server comes back online.....

Green, really, that just a huge deception to me...I dont have this issue with profile name, its just disconnecting and when i launch the messenger to reconnect nothing happens, i must restart the game...I cant and i dont want to restart my game every 5 mins, ive payed for this..d**n...I dont want to use another account or something else... I dunno how EA and specially S.M.S could mess up a such great game with a huge potential...I really have the feeing they just made it fast, without interest, just fast...annoying... Maybe we should do what i told before, sometimes we can organise some races with ISRC members online for an hour or two, what do you think about? For today im out, im unhappy cause my favorite soccer team lost in the final of the almost prestigious competition and then my actually favorite racing game (yes, still....i must be sadomaso^^) bugs and bugs...need for sleep Greetz Marco

Every time I host a race after the fourth of fifth race EA disconnects me....... EA likes to keep everyone confessed and in disarray

All right - wanted to play Shift online this morning, but the game kept shutting down just as the lobby countdown runs out and the loading screen appears. Happened 5-6 times and I was only able to race one time - the very 1st one. People talked about server problems in the lobbies, but I never experienced anything like this before - has anyone else had similar problems just now - trying to play Shift online? I have the whole week off - so I am going to be playing a bit more than usual Poul
