New race start code is live now

This should produce much smoother race starts. It has been tested on Italy more than other tracks. Let us know how it goes for you.

Awesome news.... thanks Jack. Hope to see some of the other issues knocked for six in the coming days!

Every silver lining has a cloud. We've identified an issue with Azerbaijan specifically, races running on that track at midnight UTC have not completed. Rapidly deploying a fix but these races from midnight will be skipped.

Jack, please help, got a problem in the race of my league few minutes ago.

Car was entering pit and not changing tires, i was trying to pit since lap 5, on lap 17 I got out of the race. I'll try to upload the videos.

Edit: Uploaded videos on youtube.

Edit 2: I'll open a thread on bugs too.

Just as everything was stable, it looks like the last commit has introduced a bug. I will revert back to the previous version with immediate effect.

Even if race starts were ugly, it worked once it was running. The good news is I should be able to debug this quickly before tomorrow and come back with a fix.

The game is broken. Today in Canada, I entered the pits first, and when I came out, the car that entered behind me was 5 seconds ahead of me. It's a disaster. This makes me not want to play anymore.

I'm about to catch up on other fixes. Everything can move at a healthier pace now and be reviewed. The fixes in the first week were rushed by nature of being needed urgently, and so many of them. Now the fixes needed are gradually becoming fewer, and so we can focus on quality of fixes instead of quantity.

The update is just 13 days old, with many distractions at this time of year not helping. I am not satisfied with how much there was to do after the rollout, but still confident in the state of the update going into January. Another few days of fixes before New Year, then we move to the new features.

Okay, so based on everything I have in front of me, it does look like we can iron out the remaining stability issues today and move into the new year putting this week behind us.

Today I will also be looking to improve the car physics on some tracks where they are going too quickly around very small twisty bends. This looks like the last remaining issue with the physics, and I know why this is happening.

Soon after new year I will start marketing the update, which will have a significant impact on activity levels. We won't just be relying on organic traffic anymore, and you should notice things start to pick up a lot with activity around the game when this happens.

Ahí un manager en mi liga que deberia de estar en elite pero está haciendo carreras en profesional. Se supone que profesional se va a cerrar. Tal vez puedas encontrar algún bug aquí, a salido y vuelto a entrar para intentarlo pero no hubo manera

Your league still appears to be in the legacy mode, until the season ends.

Major fixes today:


  • New circuits - all circuits have been re-generated with fresh data and cornering should be smoother than even the last patch. Azerbaijan and Abu Dhabi issues are hopefully resolved by this (nothing showed up in my tests) but I will keep monitoring reports.

  • New race start system live - much smoother race starts, greater stability of car positions relative to each other

  • League joining - the issue where legacy leagues which were split were not letting new teams join should be fixed now

  • Research not being awarded - this should be fixed now but I will monitor reports

  • League banners and logos fixed - all previously uploaded banners and logos should now be rendering on the league page

  • Also FYI iOS Facebook login issues were fixed in the most recent patch, so update if you are on iOS

The same thing just happened in our league, where a driver was stuck on old supersofts, and was doing 2:30 lap times at Abu Dhabi.

I'm working on the tracks right now, trying to understand a few different issues:


  1. Cars braking on the straight - I think I know why this happens, it's trying to stop into its grid slot basically, because it hasn't properly detached from it in the simulator. This is why it keeps happening right before the start/finish line.

  2. Cars doing weird stuff in the pits - this looks related to how wrap points at the start/finish line are handled

  3. An isolated report of one race where cars couldn't race side-by-side, only in a train. I have a suspicion this is related to code which tries to force the cars not to go side by side in the pit lane or in ghost mode, it likely forced the cars to remain stuck on the middle of the road if for some reason they became stuck in ghost mode in that race.

Today's race in Abu Dhabi was the worst race since the update. Honestly, you've ruined the game. You ask for patience, but every day it gets worse. Today it was impossible to overtake with DRS or KERS; the car would stall, but the car behind would jump two or three cars ahead. Managers couldn't enter the pits, managers were disqualified for not recording the pit stops correctly... Honestly, it's a disgrace.

I can assure you I would never upload code if I thought it would do this, obviously. It didn't do this in any test I ran before uploading. Anyway, I'll keep going. Thanks for taking the time to report it.

Also, José is gone. I am working alone for all of you. I appreciate the Spanish forum is frustrated at not having anyone in there right now too, but I can only do so much at once.

I understand, and I apologise for the frustration, but one day everything seems to be going better, and the next day it breaks again.

I understand your frustration completely, it's totally unacceptable to be dealing with issues like this after 2 weeks. If I look at day 1 vs today though the improvements everywhere are visible already. We will get there. I'm not going to stop until we're adding new features and all enjoying the game again.

I've just applied a simulator update which should come online from 00:30 UTC or for sprint races from now attempting to fix the 3 issues above.

Hi Jack,
I wanted to ask if there are any plans to make adjustments to the new DP system.

From my point of view, the current system feels unfair. Some managers may choose not to collect their DP during the season and instead save them for the next one. By not claiming the points in the HQ, the DP remain stored in the building, and when a new season starts, they can claim all those points at once and begin with a significantly stronger car.

Do you think it is fair that some managers start a new season with such a big advantage simply because they did not claim their DP earlier?

I believe this goes against one of the core principles the game has always had: at the start of a new season, all managers should begin on equal terms, with the same car, and any differences should be built throughout the season.

I hope this can be reviewed and adjusted to prevent accumulated advantages between seasons.
