A planned update to the racing servers in both US and UK locations is requiring a momentary disruption in service. This is in support of the new release and will require a simple restart of the game to start the updates. As always we are enhancing systems to provide you with the best experience possible, many thanks!

Release Advisory 28-Feb-2012, 2100 PST

by JimN on February 28, 2012

A patch release went live and users who updated may be repeatedly prompted to update in error. We have currently taken this patch offline and will have a fix to replace this as soon as possible. While we recommend waiting for the fix patch to update the game on its own, the option to reinstall SimracewayGame_57.exe will return your game to that particular state. We will be posting more information once the new patch is up.
