GT6 Division 2 Season 7

check your ping rate.
See if your modem will allow you to swap which pair.
Check your SNR (Signal-to-noise ratio ) in modem and adjust for stability by changing rate.(modem will reboot each time you make change. trial and error.

On Sunday I was able to see everyone else consistently, also in practice rooms before and since then I've had no disconnections or problems seeing people.

But on Sunday, I had trouble seeing Hatfield and also I could not even see his practice room after the postponement.

I was able to join other practice rooms that night though.

Are the rooms setup as 'Fixed Room Ownership' ?
According to details I have read, when the room ownership is fixed, all racers only need to be able to communicate with the room owner. When 'Fixed Room Ownership' is disabled, the network becomes a 'mesh' like setup where each players need to be able to connect to all other players in order for it to work correctly.

Based on this I would presume the best option is to have someone with a fast (fibre/cable) connection to be the fixed owner. This way most of the players only have to receive one UDP packet stream from a single host (hence reducing the load on their router).

From the GT6 manual:
Fixed Room Ownership (star type network model)
If room ownership is fixed, the race will be suspended if the current owner suffers connection problems or leaves the race. However, the fixed room ownership model means that a race can take place as long as there is a connection between each player and the room owner. Races are therefore less likely to be disrupted by individual players' network environments or network equipment. (Compatibility problems with network equipment such as routers will only occur between each player and the room owner.)

This is known as a star type network model. In this model, the player who created the room is the owner, and they host up to 15 other players. If your network's NAT type has been determined as 3, please play in rooms with fixed ownership.

In the star type network model, the room owner is required to have high network bandwidth. This means that not all players can become room owners. In the event of a player with low bandwidth becoming a room owner, cars may display signs of unnatural movement during online races.

I think this setup will suit hosts with NBN, like @stucar17.

I tried it after reading these posts. Recommended low as well but changed it to standard. The room was stable for over two hours with people coming in and out ( not all friended). at around three hours it started to break down with me(host) not seeing people. i think there was less lag than normal up until failure. I have a relatively low speed connection 700kbs upload and i think it works better for me as host selecting fixed owner


won't really matter for this div though eh!

I'll see what I can do to 'hot rod' my connection this arvo so I can maybe offer another option if we encounter same conditions as last week...

I'm hearin ya @stucar17....I quadruple stinted at Ballaschleiffen Festival of Speed 24hr and pulled up super special in lower back. Currently in traction with heat/cold packs in situ, washing painkillers down with purely medicinal Scotch, and have local witch doctor sprinkling chicken blood and giblets in door ways (to help with Internet connectivity)......LOL!!!
Hope you can make it broo
