Join Game Sessions

Most of the time that I stream on Twitch you’ll be able to join whatever game I’m playing in order to race with me and everyone else in the community. Each game has its own way to do that and certain priorities are also given to regulars. This page details how it all works and how to become a regular for priority access.

It’s highly recommended to do the following steps before any session you’re hoping to join. The ability of the mods or anyone else to provide help during a stream is much more limited than at other times. There are also never any guarantees of getting into sessions. These are just ways to increase the chances.

GTA Online

We use the crew system for vanilla GTA Online with a specific crew that is only used for streams. There’s no benefit to being in it when I’m not streaming.

Steps To Join Sessions

  1. Firstly check that I’m actually playing vanilla GTA Online and that I’m on your platform by typing !plans in my Twitch chat or by checking the plans section of my schedule page.

  2. If that all looks good, sign in to Rockstar Social Club and head to the stream crew page. Check to see if the “Join” button shows up. If it doesn’t and instead says “Request Invite”, then the crew is closed at this time. DO NOT request an invite as it will not be accepted and will stop you from seeing the join button when the crew actually is open. Some streams will only be open to permanent crew members.

  3. If the join button shows up, click it and set the stream crew as your active crew. All newly joined members will be kicked at the end of each stream unless you’ve completed the steps to get a permanent spot.

  4. At the start of streams and before races I’ll usually create a crew-only free roam session. When that happens do the following in GTA Online: Pause -> Online -> Crews -> Broughy1322 Scumbags -> View Members -> Broughy1322 -> Join Game.

  5. If you can’t find my name in the list keep an eye on the stream to find others who have managed to get in the session, find their names instead, and join them.

  6. Usually the free roam session will be full before we start anything, so attempting to join races or playlists once they’ve begun will likely not work. The earlier you try the better.

Keep In Mind

Please be aware that being in the crew is no guarantee of getting into a session or receiving invites to jobs. I do my best to give everyone a fair chance but there are often more people wanting in than places. And sometimes Rockstar flat out refuses to send invites to people or allow people to join due to connection issues. There’s nothing I can do about this, so I apologise on Rockstar’s behalf for their broken invite/crew/lobby system. Also, most of the races we do will be considered “proper” racing unless otherwise stated - that is following the racing rules outlined here. Anyone going against the rules consistently will be kicked and/or banned from the crew regardless of whether you have a permanent place or not. Play nice.

FiveM

For most streams I’m either playing on the Project Homecoming or 8th Gear FiveM servers, however the steps to join them are very similar and all involve getting your name on an allow list.

Allow List Eligibility

When I play on both FiveM servers I usually apply one of two “allow lists” which work in a similar way to how the vanilla GTA Online crew can be open (anyone can join) or closed (only regulars can join). The more restrictive allow list (1322 on PH and 1322 Subs on 8G) is only accessible to those who have the Regular, Twitch Subscriber, YouTube Member, or Patreon Supporter roles in my Discord sever. The less restrictive allow list (1322+ on PH and 1322 Discord on 8G) is accessible to anyone who is simply a member of my Discord server. The steps for getting your name on each list are below.

Project Homecoming

  1. Join my Discord server.

  2. Follow any steps for gaining extra roles if eligible.

  3. Join the Project Homecoming Discord server.

  4. Follow the instructions in the #faq channel for gaining the Registered role.

  5. Type !roles in the #charlie channel.

  6. You’ll be given either one or both 1322 or 1322+ roles based on your eligibility and added to the respective allow list.

8th Gear

  1. Join my Discord server.

  2. Follow any steps for gaining extra roles if eligible.

  3. Join the 8th Gear Discord server.

  4. Be logged in to Discord with the app open when starting FiveM, and accept the prompt within Discord to link your account (verify this is done via FiveM settings).

  5. When joining one of the 8th Gear servers after Discord linking has been done you’ll be automatically added to the relevant allow lists based on your eligibility.

  6. Allow lists are synced periodically (often before an 8th Gear stream) so if eligibility changes so will your presence on each list.

Steps To Join Sessions

  1. Firstly check that I’m actually playing FiveM and that I’m on the server you think by typing !plans in my Twitch chat or by checking the plans section of my schedule page.

  2. If that all looks good, make sure you’ve done the steps above to gain access to each allow list. It’s highly recommended to do this in advance and certainly not on the day of the stream.

  3. The first half of each stream will usually be ran with the more restrictive allow list such that it’s only regulars who can join. If this is you, search for Project Homecoming (Racing 2 server) or 8th Gear (EU OP server) within FiveM and join.

  4. If the above isn’t you, wait for me to say that I’ve applied the more open allow list and follow step 3 at that time instead.

  5. If you encounter any errors when attempting to join, the most likely scenarios are either that the server is full or you’re not on the allow list that is active at that time. If you think this is an error try to reach out to those who run the servers via Discord. Don’t try to spam join repeatedly when it isn’t working.

Keep In Mind

Please be aware that I do not own or run either of the FiveM servers we play on. I’m merely someone who’s being allowed to use them for streams. Each server will have its own set of rules and regulations that you must know about (by reading the relevant channels on their Discord servers) and abide by. I can’t do anything to help if you fall foul of these rules and get temporarily kicked or permanently banned.

Wreckfest

When I play Wreckfest we use the Steam PC version. No other version (including Gamepass PC) will be compatible with our sessions as the game is unfortunately not cross-play.

Steps To Join Sessions

  1. Firstly check that I’m actually playing Wreckfest by typing !plans in my Twitch chat or by checking the plans section of my schedule page.

  2. If that all looks good, head to my Discord server and follow any steps for gaining extra roles if eligible.

  3. At the start of streams I’ll post the server name and password in the #regulars channel. This gives those with priority access the opportunity to join first in the same way as GTA and FiveM sessions.

  4. Once the first group have gotten in, the server info is then posted to the #wreckfest channel and everyone is free to join for the remainder of the stream.

  5. When we play Wreckfest we aim for clean-ish racing in most races, following Rallycross style rules where a bit of rubbing is fine but divebombing and takeouts are not. In races specifically designed for carnage (like crossovers), there are no rules except not actively stopping or driving backwards.

Priority Access

Priority access to game sessions is meant to be a perk for those who are most involved or supportive of my streams, but there will always be ways to get into games without any of this.

Getting Priority Access

All priority access relies on having any of the Regular, Twitch Subscriber, YouTube Member, or Patreon Supporter roles on my Discord server. If you think you have fulfilled any of the requirements below, head over to my server and read the #welcome channel which will contain instructions in order to be given your role.

  • Twitch Subscribers - This is probably the easiest way of getting priority access if you frequent my streams and choose to support via subscribing.

  • YouTube Channel Members - To find out more on being a YouTube Channel Member head here for all the benefits, one of which is priority access to game sessions (Tier 1 & above).

  • Patreon Supporters - Those who support me on Patreon also get some of the benefits of being a Twitch Sub or YT Member, including priority access (Tier 1 & above).

  • Store Item - The “Regular Skip” item on my store is a way to acquire the Regular role in my Discord server the non-free way. Acts as a one-off show of support for regular status.

  • Regular Viewers - In my Twitch streams we use a tool to monitor the amount of time people spend watching me. As soon as you accumulate 7,200 points via that system you’re considered a “regular” where you permanently unlock some of the benefits you’d normally only get from the above methods. You can find out more information, and check your points, here. This is easily the longest way to do it but is also the “free” way for those who support by way of simply watching <3

Permanent Crew Spot

For GTA Online priority access requires requesting a permanent spot in the 1322 crew, which are managed via my Discord server. If you’ve done everything above and have the correct role then post in the #help-and-support channel to ask for your permanent crew spot. The kind mods there will help you out and promote you to a representative in the crew, ensuring you never get kicked at the end of a stream.

Final Note

Of course nobody ever has to do any of this. I’m just happy you enjoy watching me, and I’ll always have streams where I open the crew to everyone anyway. This is just making sure that those who do want to support further, have better/more chances to get in sessions, or those more involved in general know all the ways that can be done. Thanks as always for the support!

Other Games

Sometimes I’m playing other games or doing closed events. Sometimes they’ll be joinable, sometimes they won’t. Some quick info on the more common of those is below.

iRacing

When I’m on iRacing it’s perfectly possible to join my races by simply selecting the same race I’m registered for. There’s no guarantee we’ll be racing together given iRacing splits things up based on iRating, but the option is there nevertheless.

Other FiveM Servers

If I’m ever on other FiveM servers or playing things that aren’t part of the standard rotation, I’ll usually post in Discord to organise things before a stream even happens. Best to stay up to date on the #announcements channel at least for that.

GTA Events

The GTA races I do on stream are not serious races and although we encourage proper racing following the rules, they’re not competitive, focus on being open to all skill levels, and only happen when I’m streaming. If you want to get involved in proper racing with others in general & participate in events then go here instead to check out some other racing crews.
