Ok, I have a decent system with only a 7600GT, it runs fine maxed out for me. *AA instead of HDR*.

But, there are a few little graphical bugs that need ironing out, for example, when I start the game, It goes a bit wierd with polygons going all over the place. I need to alt+tab in and out to clear it. Now This I can live with BUT I do think Atari need to clean up the online so, my wishlist for things to be fixed/added would be.

1- A private message system

2- A global Chat

3- An actual friends list, I know there is one already, but it's not directly accessable and the only way I seem to able to add friends is at the beginning of a race. Other than that it doesnt work at all.

4- Fix the problem where you meet up with someone and thery don't show up. I was talking to my friend on Skype and we pulled up next to each other where we said we would meet and we couldnt see each other. It took 5 minutes until we both became visable.

5- I'm not really sure how these multiplayer set races work, does it just work by going to a race point and hoping someone is sat there waiting for people to join their game? If it does then it would work a lot better with a global search.

6- A button for voice comm would be nice. It gets really irritating listening to other peoples engines or **** music blaring out.

Other than that this is a brilliant SINGLE PLAYER game :) , the multiplayer needs a lot of work.

And to be honest, if it meant reliable servers and a more in depth communication between players, I wouldnt mind paying monthly for this, as long as it isnt over £10 a month.

Also customising your character seems utterly pointless since on one else ever sees them. I think it would be cool if there was somewhere you could go on foot to socialise, like a club or something.

Yeah global chat and chat in clubs or with other clubs etc should be great.

I'm not so much for the global chat. I find the thought of 2000 people simultaneously flooding a text chat pretty horrendous. ;)
But yeah, private mesaages and club-chat (outside of the clubhouse) would be very much appreciated.

Global Chat would work nicely.

Look at World of Warcraft, theres a huge amount of players on each server and global chat works well.

Especially if you split it into channels

i.e.

A looking for challenge channel - Players arrange races and challenges and where to meet up etc...

Or a general chat channel where players just can talk.

Lots of games do it, it's not a big deal.

id like an ability to actually walk around in the club house and meet and talk to them while walking

I'm pretty sure that the on foot thing is a bit of a tall order for this game, since the developers seem to be pretty uncaring at the moment about this game and its players =/

But the chat functions would be really easy to implement in a patch.
