Hi guys, apologies again for tonights server issues but once more beyond our control.

Please post where you are based and if you had issues, so we can feed back to Tim and try and get this sussed.

Personally no issues this week although FBMW at Albi I did.UK based.

Please do let me know (here is fine) who was having issues and a general location.

I am really baffled by this. We use this same server almost every day and do not have issues in any races except the Shark Chapter events. Bandwidth is not the issue, that is for sure. Not even 20% being used for these races. I reviewed the files and everything is in order too.

I have told Alan that we will get next weeks race on a completely different machine to see if that helps.

I had no problem in practice, but I saw some strange movements in race, I was side by side with another car in the last braking and it went through me :S

In the first lap I spun and Ivan, who was just behind me, wasn't able to avoid me because of lag. I never had problems with other R2P events, I had only problems with Shark Events.

Today the lag decided some results.

Looking into the XML file, all laps are scored for most drivers which means the *server* had a connection to everyone no problem.

Only person I see with multiple un-scored laps (which is usually due to latency or lag spikes) is Neil Marlow with 7 of 24 laps only have partial or no timing.

Neil, I also see this comment from you in warmup chat, "got a pace car racing against me" which is one heck of a clue that you have something wrong there.

Im really clueless here... We used this same server a dozen other races every week and not a peep about this type of lag or warp.

I am reporting some heavy warp in FBMW on Albi last week. 80% of the race I wasn't able to see other racers. On the official replay some cars went through me a couple of times.

I am from Serbia (Europe), and I noticed that behavior only on that race, ever.
Just to mention, 2 more drivers at that race came from Serbia (Racing for Serbia team), and it was only me who had that kind of problem.

I had no issues during the FBMW event last week.

This week however cars warping and disappearing everywhere. This happened for 18 laps then last laps the server seemed to sync and I had no issues.

Location cant be an issue as I said last week in the FBMW everything was smooth. Budapest Hungary
