GTL online work well?

Concidering ordering this from www.gogamer.com but read that SImbin's network code is crappy in GTR, does this title share the same code? Or am I mistaken about GTR? Thanks GPatricks

There is a 16 player max with the multi, but the reports so far have been very positive. -- "G.

Since getting GTL, I've been on a few servers here and there, with multiple cars, and things have good pretty well. Very smooth. The same could be said for rFactor. But GTR wasn't very good. Quite a bit of slowdown. But please don't go on my word alone. :) That could be dangerous. Still, from my limited experience and from what I've heard, GTL's code is better, much better. Stick around and see what others have to say. Alanb

During qualifying, however, I lost connection. Apparently so did everyone else and soon the server was gone from the list. That probably was a problem with the server. Good connection, even from so far away. I'm running a 1200 Baud modem, too. :) Alanb

A lot of people said GTR was good too when it was released but it certainly wasn't so I'm extremely wary of GTL. There's a lot more to multiplayer than just netcode.

I know it's early but the early returns are good, and I've had no problems so far. Truly, GTL is quite a ride. Alanb

Yeah, after all it might slaughter your family.
