Hi everyone!
I want to let you know about something really annoying that happened me yesterday so that it can be noted and fixed when possible.
I was looking forward to race again after a two week summer pause. Got ready for the MTX race at Mugello at 18h GMT. It was my first time with the car, so I did some practice and tuned the car a little bit. After a while, I was ready and eager to race.
I had registered like one hour in advance. It was time to join the server. Actually, it was about one and a half minutes to go, so I hurried joining. I was very surprised when I saw the message:
"No slots available"
or something like that on the bottom of the black loading screen.
I tried several times with the same result, so I went to the online section and looked up the server and tried to join it that way with the same result. By then I was very frustrated but I had done everything I could, so I just gave up, dealed with my disappointment and did some other useful stuff instead waiting for the 19h race, which was very clean and a pleasure to drive. Thanks guys!
As a side-effect of not being able to join, I noticed my rating had been reduced by five points, I guess as a penalty for not partaking in a race I had registered for. That put some anger on top of my frustration. I had to deal with that too. It was good practice ;-)
So that was it. Why did that happen? Was it because I tried to join "too late" in the join time window? Is this a know "feature"? Can it be fixed so other guys spare the experience?
Thanks and keep it up!
