iGP Manager 3D - Bugs mega thread

We've been discussing it with the beta testers and I have a hypothesis that it's related to the changes made to the circuits and racing lines. I am thinking aloud to share this in public, so take it with a pinch of salt, but it makes sense to me.

In 2D having precise racing lines was not a concern, so the racing lines were not very well optimised before. When we moved to 3D, racing lines were all improved so that riding onboard etc. felt more natural. Better racing lines means the cars carry more speed, which means they encounter more dirty air, have more trouble following each other and that there is less potential acceleration on the straights. The reduced acceleration available renders boost, DRS and push levels all far less effective as a means of overtaking too. The end result could be a lot more difficulty following and overtaking without even changing the simulation itself.

Because we've changed nothing substantially in the simulation or way cars overtake since 2D, this seems like a reasonable explanation for the root cause. The only major change has been to the circuits themselves, and the racing lines. So when we start investigating this properly, that's the first place we're going to look. We have configuration options to tweak a lot of this to get the right balance, so I don't think it will take us long to improve things.

The 7 kg ballast in PRO makes it impossible to fight with level 14 and 15 players. I understand that you have to somehow level the chances, but having the best drivers and a car in races, I am not able to compete with such players, before the update it was possible, looking at other players.

We're going to be submitting the next update to the stores on Monday. We've been testing very thoroughly and think a few extra days will really pay dividends with everything we want to fix. The raft of improvements will include smoother racing in 2D, as it inherits the code from 3D to animate the races, new mini map mode in 3D, improved 2D map within 3D mode (which is basically equivalent to pure 2D mode), cars will be visible through buildings in 3D, all circuits will be released in 3D, racing lines on all circuits will be fixed so that cars don't go off-roading putting too many wheels in the dirt, all integrations in the app will be updated to their latest versions and we hope this will reduce crashes on mobiles (we believe some crashes are coming from third-party software integrations) and much more.

If you're aware of any more bugs that haven't been covered then let us know before then and we'll try include any fixes we can.

Edit: A scale-corrected Australia is also being worked on right now and should be ready within a couple of weeks. We will start looking in to tyre balancing and overtaking soon as well. We're aware from your feedback that these are the pressing gameplay concerns.

Hello Jim,

Android version was released successfully, unfortunately Apple updated their policy related to advertising and different app parameters a few days ago, that’s why our app update on iOS is being delayed.

Hello Jim,

It’s weekend and iOS review team won’t be available, certainly I’m not able to tell you an ETA, the ball is on their roof currently. Thank you very much.

So what exactly do iGP Manager pay you to do?

Lol, what do you expect José to do? Hack Apple's systems and press the "release" button for them? ?

not joining a race (spectating) stayed on 98% and after stayed on 100% but didnt go to race
