Ive had 3 PCM games and never played online before.
Can someone please advise me what type of games you can play online, whether you need the same db or not, and also the steps required to play online.
I notice that PCM 2010 d/l game center too, do i need an account there?
Thanks |

Open Game Centre, Make an account. You need to use a "secure email", so if your first doesn't work. Just look for some unknown email host, if you can't find one let me know and i'll dig up whichever one i use. But it shouldn't take more than 4 or 5 tries.
Then you log into Game centre with that account, if you don't need to update the program, click on PCM10, it should be at the top. It explains itself from there, join a game. When it loads leave the computer for a while, give it 3 minutes to load. If the game doesn't load in 3mins quit. About 1/2 games usually go ahead so its a matter of luck at first. |

Oh yea, and to answer your question. You can play track races or a single stage of a road race, some people can run more than 1 road race in each game but don't worry about that.
I think you should start with track races, they run much quicker and are easy to get ok at. And don't worry about DB's, only the host needs a DB. Also, don't start your own games, i think only geeks are good at hosting.  |

That must be why I can't. I don't have that geek touch!  |

Well, I want to play online, I have hotmail mail for like 10 years and I just don't understand what is the problem that gamecenter creators see in people having that sort of email address? Did someone rased that question to them?
Anyway, I tried to register 2 new emails at mail.ru, and easy.com and gamecenter doesn't like them. I mean I have a feeling that those gmaecenter creators are sobotaging their own creaion. Ok, maybe I am ready to ask on forum how to register, but for one like me there might be 2 of those who are just unwilling to do so and skip it all the way. THis bussiness model just doesn't make sence to me. Can someone help me? |

I guess it's their way to prevent spam bots.
Either way, just find some rather unknown email provider. |

If email at mail.ru is not good enough then what you essentially offering to me ( I guess gamecenter not you ) is to keep registering emails all over the internet and see if it works. Well I guess I will have to skip all this, thanks for trying anyway, have fun chaps, looks like new players are offered options of going through many hurdles just to freaking TRY online gameplay, don't you guys feel it is too much?
Another one is how can I send to gamecener creators my rant as I feel you guys don't deserve it.
On side note, I just downloaded DBv2 for my PCM2009, it is roughly 500 MB, but when it is trying to install it says I have not enough hard drive space, I have more then 2 gigs free on that drive , is it really packed that well that out of 500 megs it goes to over to 2 gigs on HD? Thanks in advance. |

Well, I know one that works: lortemail.dk
When registering on GameCenter, just use any mail you like, e.g. . On lortemail.dk, type in shtopor in the box at the bottom and click "Hent mails". That should work.
On the side note, yes, it's indeed packed that well. Unpacked, it's c. 2.7 GB. |
