Gameplay Questions
1. I’m trying to race but the countdown is stuck at zero and the race isn’t starting. What’s going on?
This can happen when the controller of the race’s host gets disconnected or the host has lost their internet connection. If you experience this, you will have to back out of the race and start a new one.
2. I quit a race and tried to return to the M.A.P. and now I’m stuck on a black screen. What do I do?
This can happen when quitting out of a Land race and then trying to get back to the M.A.P. If you experience this, you’ll need to restart the game.
3. I’ve joined a friend and now I’m stuck in the online race menu. What’s going on?
You’ll need to be a bit patient. The game will not tell you that the other player is busy in an online race menu while setting up a lobby for an online race. Once the lobby is set up, you should be able to race.
4. I joined a race lobby and my game suddenly lost all the music. What happened?
This can happen when you accept an invitation to join a race lobby while customizing your vehicle. If this happens, you will need to restart the game.
5. The game keeps repeating that there is no connection to the server even though I’m playing online. What’s going on?
This can happen when your internet connection is lost and quickly comes back while the parental warning message is on the screen. If this happens, simply back out to the main menu or restart the game.
6. My vehicle is stuck outside the level boundaries or in the landscape and can’t move. How do I fix this?
There are a few reasons why this might happen during a race. If you experience this, you will need to restart your game.
