The race never started

Ooohhhhh Kev, our man, that just about encapsulates the feelings players like me have regarding the occasional mishaps of the current viewer. Lately though it's mostly been a question of when the viewer lets you in. Reliability of the race viewer is the main deal-breaker for me regarding iGP, since the crux and differentiating factor of the game IMO is the live management.

@team staff: I guess it's either better browsing for staff or the ability to train them. I'm not really bothered by this, but I at least think it should be more convenient for people to look for available staff. The Find function, without its search tags, sorting, and even lack of convenient display of results does not help much (unlike old iGP). Or maybe it's supposed to be this hard to find drivers and staff outside the Transfers now.

@beta label: Google is not a good comparison as Google likes to do things differently or at least give the impression they do things differently from everyone else. Beta usually means a prototype that's ready for testing, between the alpha and official release stages, is usually for a short period of time but can last up till a year or two, and is generally significantly more buggy than the official release. None of that applied to Gmail (except for one huge global service outage), and the beta label was used more for marketing and branding, while also possibly signifying the "constant feature refinement" that people tend to expect with web-based apps. That constant feature refinement didn't stop after Gmail was "out of beta" either.

That aside, I don't mind iGP keeping a beta label for the moment. I remember the first time I played new iGP post the summer beta of 2016 (which I played every day) and not only had to contend with a still beta-ish viewer, but how the "research" at that time was an automatic research to all stats, hugely advantaging those who started the season with the weakest cars, while disadvantaging the "best car" that wouldn't have all the extra juicy design points. At least that's fixed now, but as long as there are teething issues, beta we go.

I already found a lvl 20 staff today, which is great!

On the weather station query, is the decision to not bring it back based on technical restrictions or just a choice that its not needed?

I know I miss it greatly :(

i have just spent all day yesterday buying all of the Cds (around 50) costing me loads of money and tokens just to get them rotating and hopefully finding some decent ones. i did manage to only find 5 5* cd which wernt good and rest were 4.5*.

which for me we should not have to do as we need all the money and tokens we have for other stuff rather than trying to beat a broken market.

@ jamie R you have me to thank for that lol.

WOW, thats dedication!



Thanks!

yes sure is fed up with having crap CD and being on the back foot, now with thoose 50 CD i only managed to get one account sorted now for the other 3.

Happened me once as well, it will coming back automatically QUOTE=Boomer Kid]After seeing this thread I've tried to spectate some races and am only getting a blank white page too. Earlier today (12 hours ago or so) I was able to spectate fine. [/QUOTE]

Please avoid making posts like this this late in a thread. It'll be helpful to reply to somebody's post you're having the same problem as. Especially when the original reason for this thread has reached a resolution. This'll allow me to understand what issue you're having and lets me determine if I can help you or if I need to let Jack know that somebody I can't help needs assistance.

I've seen so many threads have posts like this at their end and nobody helps because nobody knows what exactly the poster is agreeing with.
