iGP Manager 3D - Bugs mega thread

I don’t know what you have done in the last 5 hours, but now I can’t even get into quick races (when I click on go to race I just get a black screen with the iGP logo amd a swirly image as it hangs)

Also the prompt via 2D/3D causes my screen to completely freeze an I am on the up-to-date iOS version 4.002.  For me things are defintely getting worse rather than better.

Update - just tried to get into another quick race and when clicking on the 2D/3D prompt this happens. (Sorry the process for posting images here is just too cumbersome so I’m not bothering to try amd work it out, but what I got was a white screen full of gibberish -letters, numbers and symbols.  I’m not a coder, but it doesn’t look like any coding I have ever seen, but just random gibberish covering the whole screen.)

Whole league can't join race, 'Issue loading track resources'
I'm on 4.002 android version
Edit: now can't even get there, black swirly screen instead

I can’t join the race either, in same league as Rhys James. am on ios, iPAD.

Imposible to play today, i only could on mobile and i was kicked 3 times from game. Imposible to play in my laptop, couldn´t join the race. The program was blocked. In my tablet, the game goes down and kick me out one and another time.
Only for quick races all goes fine in computer.

 I got in, no real problems with lag or anything like that but the game is horrible now. Gimmicky nonsense and looks like Jack is determined this is the way the game will go as 2D and the old race system is being phased out.

And this Facebook post is the final kick in the teeth for me...
“How much does iGP Manager cost after the 3D update now?

Oh. Yeah. ?“

See you all later, it was awesome while it lasted ?
I will be transferring hosting duties and removing my accounts from the leagues they are in over the weekend and hopefully someone bring out a game which goes back to basics and awesome racing.

EDIT: one last thing... over a GB of memory for a phone app! Are you for real?!

Wow, where do i start. Sorry to say this, but this game is really messed up. Many in my league tonight couldn't get online for the race. I could only access via android. I couldn't access the race via chromebook or a windows laptop. I always play on a chromebook and have done for a while. Many guys couldn't access via android or ipads or any device. 
Also what has happened to fuel consumption and tyre wear? We were doing 25+ laps at singapore on soft tyres and still had nearly 50% wear left when pitting. Normally i use around 38 litres of fuel for 15 laps, tonight i was using 24. Is this the norm now? Was there an announcement about new tyre wear and fuel consumption or is this another bug?
3D is unplayable and 2D is very laggy. I think you will be losing a lot of older managers soon if this continues. I know updates bring bugs, but this is a whole new level of bugs. 
If i was to write a report for each bug we have experienced during our last 2 races i would be here all night.
Sorry to sound so negative, but I won't be playing the game for much longer if this doesn't improve.

Congratulations you have ruined the game, at the moment it is impossible to play, even if the 3d worked nobody would play it everyone would continue playing with the 2d, instead of recruiting other players you will lose even more, good job. 

In the US tonight it was impossible to play.  During the race the cars accelerated and decelerated in fits and starts almost stopped and then started again.

Thank you for ruining a good game. Cannot log on to any of my league races, I can race in a quick race, nothing else. I hit go to race and it asks me if I want to race 3D, no other option. If hit yes it want to down load the garbage app on my computer and nothing works. Thank you for launching something that was not ready. 

Couldn't join a race on my computer tonight. Running Mac OS 11.2.3 and tried using both Chrome and Firefox, where iGP has run great before this horrible update. All it would do is pop up a box asking if I wanted to race in 3D even though I have 2D set as my preferred option. There was no option to choose 2D so I was forced to race on my phone because the 3D launcher doesn't work at all. It opens and then after a second closes every time.

Also, not sure what you've done to destroy the race dynamics  but it seems like every race the person in the lead totally runs away. You have made every track so far be like Monaco or a rain race, which is not an improvement. Now it's just luck to qualify up high and then run away for the win unless you're a lower level and get passed by someone who has higher KERS level.

Totally missed my league race today where I have 3 teams. It looks like I won't be multi-managing them in the future...the new game loads ,one screen for the race I think.....except mine never did. It's a mess, can't log into races, somehow managed to get into a 2D race by pressing every red button I saw - none of the others worked. Then it froze up and I missed the end of the race. 

How dare you guys release this totally unfinished product and force it down our throats? I am done.

Quick races - missing the entire car control panel. Race is slow.

From my perspective, fancy graphics are no good if the gameplay is ruined.

Please REINSTATE THE OLD VERSION OF THE GAME, AS A SEPARATE APP, so players can choose which one they want to play. I guess you would not be able to swap your team between the two versions, but that would be better than continuing as we are.

Many other games have different versions available, so I think that is the best way to keep the majority of players happy.

Couldn't get on the game today in either 2D or 3D.  About time somebody realised there is a problem with this "upgrade" and withdrew it until it was tested properly.  The size of this thread speaks volumes !!

Perhaps I should clarify that the 2d mode is messed up. Jerky movement drs all wrong. Now unplayable. Hence why I suggest reinstating the old version.

a rollback would be better until they have fixed the bugs

Once you have the app installed, you can use it without ever going back to using the web browser. If you didn't tick the box to install a desktop shortcut you will find the launcher exe in the Program Data folder to make your own shortcut.

Are you ignoring the people complaining about all of the problems with 2D? I couldn’t even get it to launch 2D on two different browsers last night. Even if you can get it to launch the game plays different. Races aren’t close anymore, DRS is weaker, and it seems like all that matters is clean air now. This game had a great balance before that usually resulted in close, fun races. That has been destroyed with this update. It’s even more disappointing that nobody from the game even acknowledges that.

If you have downloaded the app and you start a race in browser you can log out of the browser and open the app and the race will still be active, and as James says, you can just start the app itself and then go into a race.
