can not join online servers

[Crayolaman]

ever since i got the game, i have not been able to join an online server. yes i have all the updated files for the oem bike and the maxxis tire patch and the most recent update. It cant be a mod issue because it never worked from the beginning also my internet is fine. any other ideas before i just uninstall it and move on? thank you

FIRST AND FOREMOST!!!!!  MAKE SURE TO JOIN A SERVER WITH A VALUE IN THE "PING" COLUMN!!! NOT A PING OF "---"!!!

It would also be EXTREMELY helpful if you gave some details about not being able to join. Does it give you any messages? "Internal Error 1"? or "Bike Mismatch"? If you get bike mismatch, then you have to completely empty your folders in the mods/bikes directory to start fresh and get OEM .17 pack, then you can join if you have the track they're running. Good luck!
