Please make it 30 seconds between races!

[Zidious G]

These 60 seconds between races are way to long. No one needs that much to select a car and change a couple of settings.

You always spend 45 seconds waiting for people who won't ready up and then gets kicked when the race starts because they where AFK.

Yeah always waiting, when we can be playing the game. Half the time sounds good. I don't know if it is up to the server or just how it is.

I think the time should go faster the more people are ready.

I am wondering what the "ready" even does. Even when everyone is readied up, the countdown still seems to take as long, and the game will start even if not everyone is ready.

If everybody readies up the countdown gets skipped.

I have yet to notice this myself, but I believe you.

I only notice it when I'm the last one to ready up. I'm one of those really annoying people who only realize that they're not ready when there's 10 seconds left.

I tend to go menu-exploring while I am waiting and then finally notice that my exploring has put me back into unready mode.

+1. i actually thought about opening exactly this thread too myself after playing it online today..

60 seconds is way too long and really annoying. make it 30 sec between races. would be enough for everyone thats not sleeping and would make online much more interesting due to much less waiting time

[Squee]

I think if it doesnt start when everyone seems ready, some ppl aren't but you need to scroll down. Or that is the only explanation I can think of ..

But a way to speed up the loading of the next map at the end of a round ( where there is an option of being ready but nobody ever uses it ) and a shorter countdown would be nice at the start.

[ЯƐ⅁4L⅂ⱯG3ʁ (R3G4L)]

The game should let you know you are not ready when the countdown starts. The 10 second beeping doesn't let you know if you are not ready, also the blinking red border is useless if you are not looking at the screen.

Sometimes I press ready(A) and it doesn't work until I move the thumbstick first..its a pain after so many many times.

I think we should be at the top separate from the list, sometimes I have to scroll down to check if I am ready.

I think it's made that long, cause after the race, some people leave the(full) server and new people join.
If you read the message XY joined, they maybe still see a loading screen, cause the game needs a moment to load.
With that 60 seconds the new joined people have the chance to get inGame and press ready, to start with that round.

At least i think that could be a reason for that timer. :)

That depends on when they join though. If they join the last seconds it doesn't matter how long we in the lobby waited before that. We could have had 5 minutes between races and that still wouldn't help anyone who is joining the last seconds. It's just random and I think 30 seconds would still be enough time for people to join. Plus, in 99 cases out of 100, somone is AFK since last race. :-)

Some have longer loading times. Not everyone has his games installed on a SSD.

[Cheeki Breeki]

Lowering the wait time to 30sec would be terrible in my case.
I'm running the game of a standard HDD and usually have som other stuff going on, at times theres only like 30sec left when i get done loading.
