Hi,
Does anyone know if the multiplayer mode of Insane works?
I have tried it but cannot find any games, I know its very new but I
thought someone would of started a agme by now.
If it does work lets get playing, ths is a great game.
Regards
Nigel.

Two things: The gaming network (CMN) is being tested right now
just as much as the game itself. Insane is going to be the first game
that Codemasters uses to unveil CMN and so we are testing both the game
and the network together. Its great, but its not quite ready for 'prime
time.' Its a little more complicated than the excellent race finder(s)
that JDeere made for nascar heat. Also, I havent heard of anyone
getting a wheel to work in the demo (damn it!) and thats too bad
because wheels and pedals rule :) I dont know who makes the decision
to make a demo keyboard only, but it makes me sad.
The bright side is that the car handling with a wheel feels very good
and the different terrains drive well. Its not a game where you have
your right foot planted the whole time. I have had some amazing races
in nascar heat, but you are at the mercy of the people who join. One
bad apple can really mess things up. In Insane you arent at anyones
mercy- lesser drivers simply lose. That one specific aspect of online
racing in Insane makes online races feel 'idiot-safe.'

I read on gamespot that the multiplayer server will start running the
day the games is released, November 24th

I have now played a direct internet multiplayer game, that was a great
experience, this game should be fantastic when finished.

Try the simple things like only having 1 controller
attached on the first joystick port and calibrate it in Windows first. The
only glitch I've seen is getting the gas and brake pedals to be "seen" at
the same time. Just set the gas pedal up and put the brake on a button.
