Agreed.

Every TEC event has MS issue we should not tell them were doing this.

Think they've been looking on here themselves. Servers playing up again :/

by NSA Roca Sun 24 Apr 2016 - 21:50

It has been a regular occurrence since the beginning of the year. It has just been happening mostly at night. The past week though has been the worst. But yes it has been happening at least once or twice a week since January

That is the first one that i have seen in 4 years

I've never seen one here on TORA before but remember they had to do it for a series over at XPLR, couldn't get a lobby started so the night was cancelled.

by HCR generaltso Mon 25 Apr 2016 - 0:28

IIRC, this is the biggest event we have had to cancel because MS was having issues. It has happened before, only like 10-15 people were inconvenienced though...I think it was on forza 2 or 3.

We recently red-flagged a Ginetta Spec Cup race on Project CARS due to weather...

2. Its very sad for our team, that the third stint don't count, because we can get from the fourth to the second place.

But - [Censored] happens.

The further points are just my opinion but i think i will speak for the whole XBM.de family:

The red flag is a punch in the face for everyone. Not because of the race itself - its more because of hours, days and weeks of training, creating setups and liveries and of course spending much time with friends. To cut that after two stints hurts, but what should the Race Control do?

To abort the race was the only good decision! You can't count the third stint because of Lobby B, you can't continue with these XBL issues.

To continue the race on another date, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week or at the end of the season means that every team and every driver needs to have time at the other day. For example: If we had continued the race today, i can't drive, because i had no time. Maybe next week some HCR member had no time and maybe some LMR member had no time at the end of the season.
Again - the decision is hard, but its the only one that is correct at the end of the day. Specially in respect of the drivers who can't drive yesterday everyone should accept this.

Incidents like this makes "families" stronger. I said family because i think you give us germans a very warm welcome here at every race.

So now everyone should be stronger now and looking forward to LeMans!

At least, to the points discussion... Like i said, everyone here works his butt off to race at the Glen. Everyone should get his full points, because they do everything to have a good result! Its just a satisfaction to get full points after weeks of hard work.

Have a good time and see you in LeMans!

Spot on!!! Well said Focus!! Let us move on to the grand stage Smile

Focusatze:

Thank you for understanding the position we were forced into. Hope to get a chance to battle your team for 24 hours at LeMans!

by **SGR Amber** Mon 25 Apr 2016 - 20:38

This was when downloading TJ's by the way

by **Freheliaz** Mon 25 Apr 2016 - 22:32

We also flagged the British GT race 2 because we couldn't get it started.
Was completely fair as we were over an hour of trying to get a 20 minute race started.

But it seems the MS servers are a lot more down the last 6 months.

I've had the issue with other replays in the past, it may be an issue of files being too large for the game to download from other people or just my internet as usual aha.

Indeed! There's always a first for everything though! Pretty sure that will be one off though, seeing as we found the culprit in the end Wink
