eh. ping jumping from 120 to 250ms, unplayable.
Playing with 70-80ms ping, which is causing long loading between zones,
resulting in 2-4 minutes disadvantage in 1 hour races.
(I was wrong, it wasn't a ping issue but something else on GGG side)
Just got disconnected during the race and now it says "Unable to connect to patching server" when I load up the game.
I had a massive lag spikes (London server) and died to it, just reporting, no rage or anything cose I'll have ~100 points total anyway, no need for more :)
racing is fun, never frustrating, and rewards player skill
no RR until lvl 11 (checked vendor aswell 3 times in a1n)
no RRR till the end of the race
RGR at lvl 21 dropped
