The de-syncing can actually mess up the game on your own screen too. In a 2 player PC LAN game a few years back, we started having an issue where the road kept disappearing at the bunki crossroads on the PC my mate was using and he'd spend a few seconds crashing into invisible barriers (I had the exact same thing happen to me in about 50% of all the online races I ever managed to get involved in on my PS3 version of Outrun Online Arcade). Like you say though, it's generally playable but far from perfect. The biggest ball-ache tends to be, as Shaolindrunkard said, when the timer de-syncing means that one of you gets a timer over at the checkpoint, but the couple of extra seconds difference means the other player gets through. We've had that happen too... (Edited just to mention there's a little pop up on-screen profanity in the second link there. I know you're all adults, but thought I should just mention it...)

I did have de-syncs, but it wasn't like that every race.

Now you mention it, yeah, that sounds about right. Only I'm going to guess the benefit comes from more similar GPU's. I'm using a 6870 and a 6950, but on a core2duo E8500 and an I7 760 respectively on completely different mobos. And i'm getting far fewer issues than i used to using a 5450 and a 4890 on E6600 and E7600 (i think it was).
Even then i never had the road glitch, only the car positions and sometimes the timer. Now everything plays pretty smoothly.
BigTinz:
Such a shame that the game glitches out if you do back to back stages. Is there any theory as to why that happens? Fixable?
That said, I'm having a blast with this tool! :applaud:

Howard_Casto:
It doesn't glitch in the new version.... I did some endless loops.
