Patch 1.3 Reduce lag & reduce simulator crashes

Yes. We are investigating

Yep, same here! No cars on the grid, connection problem to the race, still able to do setup 10 minutes before the start of the race....

Race just crashed for us!! got this message from java: Couldn't get I/O for the connection to: race.igpmanager.com/5.9.102.139:25010

Unbelievable!
And always in pit laps when we are pushing hard. It's much better don't attend live races. So, we run with a default strategy and don't destroy tyres because of server crashes! 

Its all gone, http://race.igpmanager.com/index.php?id=288552&view=2d

messed up my whole race but hey whats new lol

Apologies for this interruption. We are working on it

Messed up my race too, had a few laps to go and was about to deploy kers and gain a few spots then bam, server crashes...

Races should be restarting

Sorry for that interruption. It actually had nothing to do with our update today. Things are back to normal.

We would still appreciate your feedback about lag......thank you

The race has started but I still have worn parts on my car and I have replaced them before the race.

race disconnected for all in the lobby 2 mins before the start, but the start was unaffected as it came back up within a minute to go. I'll post here again if I have more issues with my league's race.

Sorry about that Stan. We have had a problem with the web server, which is unrelated to todays' update

Crash  here too. After 1/3 of race it crash and cant connect again.

we had connection problem too, and the grid was created 5 minutes later than it had to be, but at the start time, it started fine. But in my opinion, this is like always, in my opinion, there is no changes.

Hope that new problem gets resolved, and then no more problems apear.

Yes sorry about that issue. It had nothing to do with todays update & as above was a problem with our web server.

I would like to thank those of you that gave feedback this evening. It was unfortunate that we encountered a separate issue, but It would seem that there was an overall reduction in lag.

You may know that we have a couple of times per week when the load on the simulator is particularly high. Wednesday evening is the first of those & our team plans to be online then too.

In the meantime however, we still need your feedback on the amount of lag you are seeing. Please post here here with your views or contact me directly. Thank you

Here's a stream from 3 25% races, 7:30, 8:10 and 8:50
the races wee right in the crash, maybe the best way to find out what went wrong
