I'm guessing that it's because the servers are bogged down from everyone wanting to get the new stuff and I live in Hawaii. (Too faraway) Anyway thought you'd like to know.
Mine didn't even start, I left 20 min in starting and aborted, but I assumed it was due to maintenance, so to play something else and later on
"Raceroom is currently under maintenance to deploy an update. We will be back as soon as possible." Hopefully is just because of the maintenance.
It´s been like that all day in Europe. When the game update takes longer than the 12h of Sebring, it´s not great going.
Yes having trouble all day with this, took an hour and a half to buy some new content. I bought the all the new Audi cars and Watkins Glen, but it is only showing the GT4 version of the Audi as belonging to me. Really hope it is just a hiccup with the servers and all will be right tomorrow.
They certainly didn't expect the rush either. Everyone wants Brands and Glen, the MP servers are extremely well attended. I looked 5 minutes ago, almost 350 players at RRRE, but only 35 at AMS2. But it's getting better and better now with every minute. Guess they are working hard in the background in the moment.
@Vale lol that about sums it up (electricity for the main server rack provided by hamster running on a wheel!)
Not working for me in UK still, did get on briefly earlier and managed to get and try Brands and the Glen (both great by the way). But horrendous loading times, random crashes etc just gave up in end. Game just about starts right now, but instead of normal first screen, i have what looks like your profile page, but all the way down left side of screen in old school format. Didnt do that earlier!? Problem getting worse?....
