Right, I got Motorstorm last night and tried to go onto the online, but once I'd joined a game it only shows the lobby with people's status'.
Mine was "not yet raced" or something, while everyone else's was "preparing" or "racing".
Any idea why I could get into the group, but not the actual race?
I couldn't see any button prompt to tell me what to do or anything, and I was stuck like this until I just gave up and went offline.

I know this is probably a silly question, am I doing something wrong or what?

Thanks

just wait till the races has finished when it says there preparing to race im sure thats when there choosing there vehicles

Yeah I've joined a couple of games which say preparing but for some reason it won't let me choose a vehicle of my own...

i haven't played it online for awhile but if you go in room and it says that then just either wait for that race to finish or join another lobby it won't put you in there race if they are preparing or racing lol
