that has happened to me a lot too lol. there are way too less players online atm hence the horrendous lag. things were very good in the demo. my trick is to stay at the back of the pack and just keep doing things that give u EXP. remember the ratings in "online road trip" are based upon overall EXP. just make a car that feels best for u and keep chaining those EXP multipliers BTW the last road trip that u left, i got 3rd position in it overall@Journeys End how do YOU survive till the end of a race!! i perform just fine till like 20-30% and then suddenly the lag would cause some car behind me to smash into me while turning or something and that totally destroys my car!! After that my speed never goes above 30-50
oh and a good example of how awesome nite time and draw distance is in this game
u can clearly see the horizon festival which is more than 20KM away
