when clicking on the MP symbol nothing happens. Did d/l the 1.55 patch (about 4.4mb),installed that. Do you need any special version (patch 1.44)? "Gripper" <[email hidden]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:c8vhmm$cef$[email hidden]...

The multiplayer is reached via the desktop shortcut ("World Racing Multiplayer") that should be there after you run the patch, you can't access the multiplayer from the in-game menu. hth Neil

Same exact thing here -- clicking on the "Multiplayer Lobby" desktop icon does nothing. I've posted a couple of queries in the Blackhole Motorsports World Racing forum, but nobody from TDK has responded. Non-functional multiplayer support is another nail in the coffin for me -- it goes nicely with the intermittent engine sound under braking and the unwanted steering assist . . . :-( -- JB "K_Raikkonen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<40b36a81$0$26357$[email hidden]>...

Holy shite, John. If you're giving up the ghost on this game, I'm sure as hell not going to expend any more effort to come to grips with it. Like you all, I got no response from clicking the shortcut WR placed on the desktop, nor from clicking on the executable in the folder. Oh well, I shoulda known better from the tinny engine sounds, cartoon physics, and Area 51 mentality.... "jbodin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I haven't really given up on it, Steve, but MBWR has failed to really grab my attention as I hoped it would. After Mercedes-Benz TRUCK Racing (MBTR), I expected great physics and NFSPU-type playability from MBWR, but the physics have seemed somewhat "stunted" to me, and the playability just isn't as immersive as NFSPU. So, while the physics are nice enough, there just don't seem to be any real "hooks" for me in MBWR to keep me coming back for more -- the historic cars are nice, but why didn't they START with those, then work more progressively towards the more modern cars, a la NFSPU? As it is, MBWR comes off as nothing more engaging than an extended interactive commercial for the Mercedes-Benz brand, and in that respect, NFSPU and Ford Racing 2 served as MUCH better "interactive advertisements," IMO. In fact, NFSPU left me lusting for Porsches in general (historic, vintage, modern-day, etc.), and Ford Racing 2 has even left me considering what it would be like to own a Ford Focus SVT or a Mustang on occasion -- and I'm not what you would call a "Ford guy." MBWR, on the other hand, has just left me feeling curiously like it just simply missed the mark. Synetic and TDK have the basics of a good physics engine readily at hand, but I think they dumbed things down a bit much with MBWR. Hopefully World Racing 2 will hit closer to the mark -- and with things like Ford Racing 2 and Race Driver 2 to show them how good sequels CAN be (and how "fun" race sims with relatively convincing physics can be executed), they SHOULD be able to hit a little closer to the mark next time around. This time, though, they definitely missed the mark for me. -- JB "Steve Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<au6tc.13186$[email hidden]>...
