Have you rebooted the router and your Xbox since making that change? Double check the settings of the router to make sure the change has stuck too.
As for that possibly being the cause of the little problem I was having with Assetto I am doubtful and have posted my thoughts on that over at DSRL.

Yes, the XBOX is not smart enough to know your router set up. It will say both even if you have just one. Don't concern about that. Go here and check the IPv4. Should be a "blue" response on IPv4 and "red" for IPv6, ....means it's off. Ping Test

Ping TestStrange Pete as mine does distinguish between the two and with iPv6 disabled it just displays iPv4 in the Network settings.

I will attempt again with a full reboot of both this evening.

I would assume then that there are slight differences between XBox hardware. We all get variable game responses, displays, performance, etc... I'm really starting to get sick of this whole XBOX crap. Then top it all off with a game that can't run on it, has bugs, works one way for some and another for others.... I think I'm just about done with the whole fucking piece of shit.
There are other games that I can play without such frustration. This is just getting to be more than I want to deal with.

Maybe there's a difference between the one's sold in the US and Europe. that's the only thing I can think of in that respect. The Xbox has been a really solid platform for me over the years and it's always been it's simplicity over a PC that has been such a strong part of it's draw for me. I've done the whole PC thing and it can get a bit overwhelming with the wide range of options available to you abnd constant need to upgrade in addition to the problems of driver compatibility, etc. that you can run into. No question if you have the time to devote to it it's a very tempting proposition and one that I am sure I will return to at some point but at the moment the Xbox still has plenty of life left in it yet. Don't give up yet Pete. Hopefully this iPv6 thing can solve our problems the same way it has for many others and we can finally get this thing off the ground.

Shall we give it 1 more try next Saturday? Maybe the patch will stabilise the lobbies. Has anyone tried a lobby since the update? If we are to give this another go it might be an idea to message everyone on XBL or the group to let them know as it seems only a handful of us are coming here still.

As I previously posted, and many others have also posted from last FRI night....
1.5 worked for a week.
Issue started FRI night around 11PM EST
Never have used new tracks or 488
As soon as I go to Community Events, it CTD
If I load a race mode it will run with the auto-loaded set up. BUT, if I try to select a set up from my list, then CTD.
As noted on the Forum, it's probably a (SMS) server issue when access to data is requested, like using a menu that needs data from the server.
Hopefully they will resolve it ASAP.
5 days now I have not been able to play any mode of the game that has to access any server data info.
And now today another issue with Race Director crashes to the Dashboard too.
I really don't see how I personally could even try to run a race, or do anything for that matter with this game as it stands.
I'm not switching to a PC because as Peter stated the XBOX platform is fairly stable with games, just not this one. So, I'm done with it for now.
At the very least it will be another couple of weeks before any further patch can be made and released, which may or may not fix anything, and as the recent history has already shown, it's only getting worst.
Actually my wife said, "Why don't you just play pC1 instead of getting all frustrated with pC2?"

Ah damn yes I forgot about that CTD problem that the last patch brought. I still haven't played since our attempt at the league start but i'll maybe give it a go tonight. I have seen quite a few people playing among my friend list though so I thought the problems were resolved.
I'll report back once I have had a test.

This may possibly be an issue with pC2, as it was once with FM7 and the same condition happened with CTD.
What is a memory leak? However, despite having adequate RAM and not running resource-intensive software, there can be another situation where all available RAM gets used and performance degrades. This is known as a memory leak, and it happens when software fails to manage the available RAM correctly. With the computer functioning normally, RAM gets used by software in a dynamic fashion, and memory resources are allocated as needed. When software no longer needs the RAM resource, it is then “returned,” so that it can be reallocated to the next program when needed. In a situation with a memory leak, RAM gets allocated to the software but is not freed up when no longer needed. It’s akin to the memory getting stuck in a roach trap—“Roaches get in, but they can’t get out.” As this continues, a large chunk or even a system’s entire complement of RAM can be tied up in this dysfunctional process.
The permanent solution of course is to get software updates for any applications or drivers that happen to have a memory leak, fixing the problem. In an ideal world, leaks wouldn't happen, but with software becoming increasingly complex, sometimes things are missed. Often, a leak will simply result in the offending application crashing (this has happened with many games where playing for hours ultimately leads to a crash-to-desktop, at which point the memory is reclaimed), but there are many other factors that can also come into play.

I feel your frustration Shneeb. However, last Sunday we raced in "the league not to be mentioned" with no issues. That was post 1.5 update. We set up a championship, that way the cars/liveries are pre loaded which seemed to help. Maybe we could set up a championship for every week. I realize that if you make one for the whole season new people can't get in, but maybe make a new one week to week just for that track and drivers?
Also I was reading your posts Hammer, about F1 2017 and I almost pulled the trigger on the game yesterday because it was on games with gold sale. I didn't, then reconsidered today, and of course yesterday was the last day of the sale. It's back to full price now. Maybe I'll wait until 2018.

I just tested pC2 again, AFTER I cleared the XBOX MAC address, which clears out the XBOX memory. Loaded pC2, sat in the main screen, went to the XBOX Blue Ray clear cache screen 5 times, then back to the game menus. All of them worked fine, ran practice, custom Race, Comm Event, and TT without CTD. Set up tunes and saved without issues.
Not really sure if this is relevant, but there was a MS Store update today that I did right before I started this whole test. And not sure if SMS did anything either.
Will it continue to function well, remains to be seen. Will check again later.
I'm speculating, and maybe wrong, but it's starting to sound like a Memory Leak type issue, maybe with the XBOX itself. Or at least the actual unit I have. The fact that not all users were having the CTD issue was the most puzzling part of the whole thing. Might just be that older Xbox units don't have enough memory left over after the game loads to run properly. Not really sure, I'm not good with smoke and mirrors!

I just finished an hour and a half in the game. Really enjoyed myself too. Not sure what the patch included but it seems that the Dallara at least has been strengthened a bit. I felt previous to this patch it was much too fragile, with just the slightest knock causing major damage. Now its much more realistic in my view.
Anyway into the issues that have plagued the game since 1.5.
I was able to do a custom race with practice and qualifying no problem at all. Setups loaded without any hassle and no sign of any ctd's. I also set up a custom online event in line with our league settings and again had no issues.
After leaving this I went into Time Trial and suffered my first CTD when selecting to start the session. The loading bar for to about 30% before it froze.
Next I tried the community event (ironically the Dallara at Long Beach.. We groundball give it a go) and this worked fine. I did about half a dozen laps and then exited. It was only when looking at my friends headboard that The Game did it's second CTD.
So the problem isn't a major one for me at the moment and certainly the custom lobby creation was working ok but then again I've never had a problem withdrawn anyway.

In not sure about the memory leak idea with the Xbox. Many of the ctd problems seem to happen immediately rather than after an extended period of time which is when memory leak issues tend to be a problem. I'm more inclined to believe the other assertion that it's down to a problem with the SMS servers where things like the Time Trial leaderboard data is held. That's when the problem occurred for me and seems to be a regular occurrence for many.
I haven't read up on the forums about it yet so will do so tomorrow. Hopefully, this issue can be fixed with either a very quick patch or via some internal fixing if it is indeed server related.

Try this and then see if you still get the CTD. 1.Clear the XBOX MAC address, which clears out the XBOX memory. 2.Load pC2, and sit in the main screen, 3.Go to the XBOX Blue Ray clear cache screen 5 times, then back to the game menus. 4. Try TT and everything else.
I just ran an on-line race without any DC's or CTD. First time in a while!
BTW have you done the XBOX Store update today?

insert code here I'll try that Pete. No I haven't installed a Microsoft update unless it's done it automatically.
Edit: Just tried that Pete and indeed did work and I could get into a Time Trial session. However, it did ctd again on exit. I'm off to bed now so will try again tomorrow, I wonder if you have to do the MAC and blue ray clear each time before the game starts. I'll report back tomorrow.

What's the feeling on getting a test up for Saturday then guys? At least we can identify whether the iPv6 solution does work or not and whether this ctd issue that is happening is something else that will prevent us racing.

F1 2017 is fantastic for close racing. The setup options are basic and have been for years now, but the actual racing is great. Our league follows the real F1 schedule and there are still plenty of races left before we consider switching to F1 2018. In fact, that game doesn't even have a release date yet. My guess is it'll be out mid-summer at the earliest. We have 9 scheduled league races before then. I say if you can find a reasonably priced copy, pick it up and come racing with us on Sundays.
