2D not in sync

Hi Clement, that's odd. So no matter how many times you refreshed the viewer it remained this way?

Also, was the issue consistent? Did the same drivers always show in the same places? Was your driver in 4th always showing ahead of your driver in 1st every time you reconnected? If not, how much did it change by each time?


That won't have any factor in the connection to the server.

I'm glad you brought that up again, I think you're on to something and had an insight reading your post. I had to remember a bunch of odd things that wouldn't seem connected on the surface, spanning months, to figure it out. It's most likely old code clashing with new code in two places (code updated in one area of the game and not in another). It would create a perfect storm where on the last day of a subscription, the car animations could permanently utilise a simulation mode designed for intervals of packet-loss, which doesn't use the data from the server. The live timing would still be using the correct data, which is how they would go out of sync. It's a funny one... but it makes perfect sense.

I've just emailed the viewer developer and pointed them straight to the theoretical solution (assuming my educated guess as to the cause is correct - which I'm fairly sure of), so hopefully it won't take long for a fix. Thanks again J, these are very useful posts. :)

We identified the issue, it was what I suspected. This was patched across the service yesterday and it should not happen again.

Thanks to everyone for the clear information that helped us to identify the problem. :)
