eeeeeee shut up. you probably weren't here for Peloton v1 or you would have seen a pattern here. I have already seen this script before, in Peloton v1. Bugs started to show up, races fell behind schedule, peloton started going offline for days at a time, and finally IP shut down the site for good because he couldn't handle it anymore. This time I really hoped it would be different. I even bought premium (bad investment, I could have done a lot better with that money). He'd better shut down the site now rather then later before people get too attached to their players. The main reason why Peloton v1 stopped was the hosting and its huuuuge costs. There was a virus issue on the server, which the hosting company couldn't fix after 2 days @ 100€/hour, so I was very, very disappointed. This was the reason why, near the end, races were delayed and resimulated all the time. The whining on the forum didn't help either. But this isn't an issue anymore now, the server is running fine, apart from some new problems surfacing. But I think this is more or less to be expected from a new hosting with different hard -and software. Agreed, seeing the approach to the problem - distant and calm - I am certain that my premium was not a bad investment. However I also understand the frustration. The way I heard it, there were no disadvantages this time for anyone though, under these circumstances, I think that it was merely a beauty problem. I do hope you'll get these problems under control, or frustration like that will increase, which obviously would be bad for the game. However I guess some players would do well to see the difference between a Beta Stage of a Game this size and the final version, then they'd understand better that the appearance of some errors is practically certain and they have to be handled as they appear. |

Well, the teams from division 5:31 haven't made themselves heard yet  Because those teams are very much affected by this problem. But the problem was contained just to this division. |

Yes, as announced, the problem should be solved. and the remaining races were simulated this morning. The problem with division 5:31 is that the error occurred when the race for this division was being processed. Meaning that not all teams were rewarded yet (money, points, etc). So the error is solved, but I can only fix division 5:31 at home (I'm still at work now, shhh ) |

The division and all teams (& their cyclists of course) are updated. I was able to continue the simulation where it stopped, thank god. Unfortunately, the data that was in the server's memory at the time of the simulation got lost when the simulation got interrupted. The process to create the xml's with the race and tour results makes use of this, so I wasn't able to create these, and you won't be able to view these on the website  But I can guarantee everyone that the results and prize money are correct, as these are based on data that was stored in the database right before the simulation got interrupted. |
