iGP Manager 3D - Bugs mega thread

2nd paragraph sums up my experience also

Sure this is an opinion an not a bug report, but:

Did the release go smoothly? I don’t know how smoothless were  others but this was anything but. It could be worse sure but there were *plenty* of bugs and glitches introduced not only on the 3d mode but on the 2d as well. 

Very basic human errors such as the macos desktop app link misspelled are a bit wtf, really. I said before in this thread and have no problem repeating, it feels like zero minutes of QA were  spent on this launch. This is not a lecture, it’s a factual feeling.

The new changes were announced with much fanfare back in December, then we had nothing but radio silence for almost 3 months until the silly update to change character’s faces (still not sex!) but no word about the much anticipated launch. Then, overnight with no previous notice, suspiciously on the very last minute of Q1, the new version goes live changing a lot of stuff i insist even for the 2d players with zero explanation of the changes on track layout, drs (placement and effectiveness), tyre performance and other substancial changes to the gameplay. Just thrown at us for everyone to guesslearn on the go. 

All in all it’s obviously a launch on the edge of the “promised” launch date (2021 Q1 said the announcement in December) and it has been undeniably rushed. I’m on the same business and won’t tell anybody how to do their job but this was rushed and untested and we can all feel it. The very fact that this mega thread exists is a pure proof of it. 

You have all my compassion and support and I have even spent real money here because I like what you do and I wish you keep it free and evolving. But shrugging the criticism because “there are a lot of happy silent players” is silly and insulting towards all the people who take their time to report bugs. Most of us don’t even know where to start. 

I wish you all the success and hope the issues get resolved quickly, but please don’t keep saying this was a smooth release because it was one of the most rushed, unpolished untested ones I’ve seen in 20 years experience in development. 

Cheers

This has been a bug ever since I started playing, did you have more than 32 cars in the race?

When I'm asked to login in the 3d app, I can't write @ in my mail address. Seems it thinks I'm having some weird keyboard and not my Swedish layout that it is.

I think that many do not talk not because they are happy with 3d but because they want to give you time to fix ... you promised that in a few weeks the biggest problems will be fixed .... keep your promise.

Hey Jack, congratulations on the new dimension of the game and bugs hahaha Just kidding, but it's running quite smoothly in non 2x speed ?








About those scaling problems, I would like to point out that only Azerbaijan respects the 305km rule to keep the same # of laps as F1 ? This is important because the tyre and fuel will be off by some margin, especially for 100% race distance. There are tracks really close to the boundaries of track length too (Spain, Monaco, Turkey, Abu Dhabi, GB, France and Canada) ?

Here are the values the artist needs to follow in order to make up the race distance rule and keep the old lap times, fuel and tyre wear:

Hello. I have selected the 2D mode. But it trys to open in 3D. It opens another window, try to conect to the app, and trys to reconect me to FB as a login. But I can't do that and the race won't start. To make it short, 3D is nice to view but awefull ti play, and I can not revert back to 2D even trough game settings.

Plesase help me.

For example Mexico track.

I don't want to step on toes here and maybe this needs another thread. 

I've just done a 2D race. QR. The issue is from what a lot are saying is that you are not changing it to 2D in the browser, and then opening the app to race, or you are changing it to 2D and then starting a race and opening the app from the browser.  

Open the browser, clear ya cache, go into iGP, go into settings, change it to 2D, hit SAVE, hit HOME (this will refresh the page). Then EXIT the browser and fire up the app. 
This should work on PC, using Chrome. It ideally should work anyway because there is a conflict between the browser starting the app, and just using the app itself. 

So.. bug report.. again, there is a conflict when starting the app up from the browser. PC-Chrome. 

The 2d race was just like normal expect being France (like Italy) it slows down too soon coming up to the turns. PL worked fine. Icons worked fine. Car worked fine. Icon and Car worked fine. 

Also, try reading the entire thread first. 

I don't think you can race in the Browser anymore. You have to use the App. 2D or 3D.

So what i said earlier was that IF you start the race in the browser, and the app fires up and most likely will do nothing, THEN you exit the app, exit the browser and then fire up the app itself and go back into the SAME race. Works every time. 

2D works also on the browser. 3D works only with the app.

In Hungary there is a chicane that the cars do correctly in 3D, but in 2D the cars literally cut the first turn of the chicane.

In Mexico, i don't know if 1:50 lap time is correct. I see that "the brakes on straights" has been fixed. The coloured rectangulars of the box are on the track.

Sometimes while i am racing in 3D mode, the android app crashes.

Post written with update 4.003.

In free practice, we ran 8 seconds better in inter-tire rain than 3.0 millimeters of rain than one who ran on a dry track with ss rubber. Then we further improved the lap time with 3.3mm w rubber for another 2 seconds. The 3D race is very nice, but you can’t race, I don’t see what’s behind me, in front of me. If I follow the turn of the track in helicopter mode, the camera does not follow. I went back to 2D for the better. The next day he could not enter the competition, he did not offer the 2D option in windows10 and chrome browsers. When I clicked on the race button, the main window appeared small in the small window.

i have same issue on pc. also, is there a way to run two teams at the same time? i used to use to different browsers on pc but no do not seem to be able to with the app (even if i did get into live race)
