    Today I made an attempt to better my time in the Audi TT comp, but I keep receiving some Red 'error' banners at the top of the screen.
    First will be a 'failed to load ghost' and then when I try to exit to desktop I get something like 'error - another instance is running' and I have to close with task manager.
    I've tried restarting game, and as admin, restarting steam and verifying cache but still the same. Not sure if it does it in any other game mode.
    Anything else I could try appreciated.

    Same problem, for hillclimb competition. Other free competitions are working for me though.
    I can't even quit the game the reqular way, because it say "launch is already in progress", so only alt+f4 works for that.
    I guess the problem is with competitions you already entered, and have a time.

    Yep, seems limited to competitions that you have entered times. I can do leader board challenges and multiplayer with the game exiting as normal but if I get the ghost banner in comps, it will fail to exit and show the 'launch already in progress' banner:(

    Same here! Noticed that many of my challenge icons had changed from black to purple in the leader boards.

    Thanks for the update, will this have any effect on the competitions?
    Through this competition I've made some good progress and put in hrs, I was hyped last night for a good run on Nords:disappointed:. Going to be upset if I get a record time in practice:p:D

    I had the purple highlights too, from the beginning. It seemed to be the highlighted ones were the liveries you own and you could only challenge the same liveries as you own. I was unable to start a challenge with any grey box.

    Should be fixed Soon™! Repairs are being done now and after that there will be a short maintenance period. Competitions should be unaffected.

    Correct!

    Going into maintenance now. Should only be 10 minutes unless I just jinxed it by writing that.

    Edit: Fixed!
