It happened to me in the previous round of WTCR esports.
Everything I can say is:
- My connection is stable and tested, works fine everywhere else, but sometimes (in the last 4-5 days, even during the preparation for the race) it takes like forever to get into the game. Loading time was like forever, with the little Raceroom picture on the desktop, and even if i got in, it randomly throws me an Error 13, or just doesnt really load the multiplayer server screen and such. After I fought for it (sometimes like for an hour) it worked fine.
- Except: Sometimes my laptimes don't count, but it happens randomly again as hell. We practiced a lot, during these Qs it worked well most of the time except when it invalidates my lap somewhere in the middle part of the track (of course without any reason, did some laps, know the tracklimits quite well). It was strange, but it only happened once in a long Q, mostly on my first try.
- Yesterday's race: I was surprised, because everything went well, the loading time was totally ok. When it comes to Q, I started my lap, when I crossed the start finish line it started to count my lap (checking it constantly on the dashboard), and when I came to the last sector (I was almost in the middle part of it), I realized the counter on the dashboard shows nothing, like: -- -- --. Ok, well-known issue, happened to me in the past, started another lap, checking the dasboard again, all good, hurray. Until I arrived to the sector line beetwen S1 and S2, the HUD cames in, comparing my sector to the fastest as always, crossing the sector line, and it shows -- -- -- again, even in the HUD as well. Tried to start one more lap, but when I crossed the start finish line nothing happened, shows me -- -- -- and not counting even from the beginning.
What should I do? Is there any file that can help you? Just wanna do something, because it hurts like *.
