Big problem trying to get online. After I select the website and push the DRIVE button it says JOINING SERVER. But it locks up there and doesn't move any further. My internet connection has no trouble connecting with every website I go to. I use AT&T cable plugged into the PC.

Double checking on the specific Watkins Glen track. Is it the same as I ran on for the TA2 race?

Any ideas on what might be the problem. In the online game settings I select the Custom option and set downstream at 72 mbs; upstream 7 mbs.

This has never happened before. Thanks for any help.

Jerry, This is definitely a vintage version of Watkins Glen. I didn't know what it was before joining the server and when I clicked on the server "JOIN" it automatically downloaded and installed it for me first. It uses 268MB in the rF2 Installed/Locations folder as "70sWatkinsGlen". Its the full layout just as shown (no chicane use) on the map.

I am not sure why it do not D/L and install for you. Perhaps you have a previous version of it causing no D/L but incompatibility? If so, you might try deleting or moving your old version elsewhere until you sort this out. I usually delete any previous versions in the packages and location folder just to be sure I am not reinstalling an older version when I have these types of errors.

I hope that helps! It wouldn't be right to not have you rocking the Retro Stang (Coyote sound) at WG with us.
