Our sincere apologies for this unplanned maintenance window, but it was absolutely necessary. The game had been becoming progressively slower each night and we have been logging and investigating the issue. Tonight we identified an underlying cause and rather than let things continue, we opted to immediately intervene and take action on what we had identified.
If you have had any issues that need admin assistance, please post here and we will be happy to help.
UPDATE: In attempting to upgrade relevant services we discovered a previously unknown "cap" our server provider enforces that needs to be lifted before we can perform all of the upgrades we believe are necessary to address the situation. We will schedule a regular maintenance window for that another day. Basically, they've tied our hands tonight and only allowed us to half-fix it. We're on to them immediately with critical support tickets to raise the cap.
UPDATE 2: During the second maintenance window we were able to perform all the upgrades we wanted. However, taking everything down in the middle of running will have caused more problems as well, so we expect a long night and morning tomorrow resolving your issues. We will provide support and be happy to postpone any affected leagues.
UPDATE 3 (08:20 GMT): We are now in the process of postponing all races from yesterday that were affected by the issues. Your league should return to normal in the next couple of hours. If you have had any other urgent issues, please post them here and we will investigate each case and try to help.
