Unfortunately many of you have experienced an unstable, and in some cases unusable simulator service in the last two days. We are very sorry for this.
To help remedy the situation we will be gifting every manager in an affected league 250 Reward Points. We hope these points can help to make your experience in the next few races better than usual, and go some way to making up for the downtime.
What happened?
On the 6th October we moved the entire iGP service to a brand new architecture based on multiple servers. It was a networking issue bought about by this migration that caused the intermittent service and made the simulator in partciular unstable.
Is it fixed?
Yes. The issue has been fixed. For anyone that missed it, we took the site offline for an hour to resolve the problem and restart the service.
Where have the related forum threads gone?
There were numerous threads and posts reporting the same issue during the period of instability. We have archived them and put in their place this thread, to bring order and clarity to the situation.
When will I get my reward points?
We will award 250 Reward Points to all affected users on Tuesday, 9th October (GMT) at an unspecified time. This will give us time to correctly identify all affected users and prepare a script to send out the reward points.

I demand a new qualifying session is released in the league NOVA BRL. My race was stopped and rainy this time, now this sun.
Rene Cornella medal 5000 12 years 52 days ago
we have still an issue.
Our race was interupted, a few laps before the end. After the first downtime, the race finished the last 2 laps.
But the result is still not there :

Thank you to Jack and your team for the committed service to our enjoyment of your simulator. I am glad to see the service is back online. One question however.. It looks like (in our league anyway) that the race which was ongoing at the point of the issues has been pushed back to the next time our league is due to race (wednesday evening). Does this mean the race will be restarted? Will the weather be the same as it was on Sunday evening or will things be randomised..? Finally preperation is locked currently, will this status remain or will it be possible to re-test / setup the car (particularly if there is a new race / random weather)?
Thank you guys.

We will be postponing affected races to the next slot in the respective league schedule, in order to clean up the mess left behind by the downtime. It wouldn't really be suitable to run most of them late anyway, as that often rules out anyone short on time from attending.
Edit: In terms of re-running races we will see what we can do. If you want your race, practice or qualifying re-run post the race ID here, or the league if you need all tiers re-run. Re-opening the preparation etc. will likely be handled tomorrow rather than tonight.

As well as the ID, please be clear on whether you want only the race re-run, or if you want qualifying and preparation reverted too.

FYI Speed series race was delayed 24H and right now when I try open live timing or 2D it just says race isn't ready? (Race starts in 5 mins)
Andrew Hurn medal 5000 12 years 52 days ago

Now it's telling us the race is live (Speed Series) but when you open live timing or 2D it just says "Race not open"
Eton Fed medal 5000 12 years 52 days ago
Speed series race was delayed 24H, then todays rescheduled race says LIVE but when you open 2D or live timing it just said "Race not open"
Now I can't get anything to work - Live timing and 2D just prompt me with a white screen and nothing loads?
