RGT now have a new team - 'Unkoolers', with Berty, Keith and I so far. Any other takers?

There will be 12 stages. Each stage will be scheduled in four separate time slots in order to cater to competitors located in different time zones. Timeslots will be (GMT): 00:30hrs, 06:30hrs, 12:30hrs and 18:30hrs note we can ride together or individually and Stages 1 and 11 are TT's so no point riding as a team anyway. The 9th and 10th looks like the weekend for mountain goats, lots of routes for the mere mortals though! 😊

Sounds fun but I don't think I could commit to all of the sessions so if an ad-hoc option is feasible happy to join that. What time is @keithaitch test ride tonight? The link didn't work when I tried it on the app.

Ad hoc would be perfect Craig. The team time is the finishing time of the third team member and we are a little worried that we might not all be able to do all of the sessions. I'll add you to the RGT chat.

Had a look at the BKOOL log files, to see what happened today, but only understand parts of it. As usual it is a mix of Spanish and English text. :smile:

I had a lot of warnings tonight (Unhandled Page ID 4e in HR profile), which I believe is related to the communication to my HRM. About 4-5 of those every second are written to the log! I have seen those in some previous sessions too, so probably a local ANT+ problem on my end. The warnings continued until I quit the simulator after the ride.

Once @Goldwolfie joined a lot of errors was continuously logged ([Photon] No existe el Current Part para 226922). 60+ of those were logged per second! 226922 is G's PlayerName I believe. Photon is the engine that drives the network/multiplayer part of the game. Those errors continued until he left my session. Haven't seen that error before. Could be indicative of a network/backend problem somewhere, but why didn't it give the same error for @Rod McG then, as he was the first to join?

Maybe BKOOL should update to a more recent version of the Unity engine to at least iron out some bugs. The one currently in use is 2019.2.19f1 (released in January 2020) and the latest in the 2019 branch is 2019.4.17, released yesterday.

Heck, why not switch to the 2020 branch, while they are at it, as it was released back in July and have had multiple updates already.

Looking at the release notes for the Unity engine, there is 100s of fixes since 2019.2.19f1, and some of them may very well be the culprit for the many weird bugs, we (continue to) experience?
Trust me to balls it up.

I connected to your session ok but couldn't see the countdown timer, and the 3d graphics were a bit weird. Also couldn't change to the video version.

I didn't get any error messages and everything was paired ok. I exited your session and joined the one Craig started without leaving the app. All was ok from then on, apart from my usual slog up the hilly bits, but at least the video version kept me interested.

sorry, perhaps that's because i deleted and created anew one at the same time, It's at 18:00 cet, 17:00 uk time. Here's the new link http://app.rgtcycling.com/event?code=TvRCFpEOOK
I would have joined you but I haven't yet been able to get the software working. Don't know what's going wrong, I can't see the options that the FAQ say I should have, so I await a response from Support. The link above didn't work for me either. Hope to get going soon.

The link only works on a smartphone where the 'partner' app. is already running. Also when I first tried to create an account my tablet wouldn't show some buttons that should be at the bottom of the screen so had to create an account on a third device 🤦‍♂️ but then it worked quite well, found the trainer, HRM... Good luck

I had troubles when I first set up but it was because phone and app were on different WiFi network
I am in shed now with WiFi extender and both connected to that
It worked well this end tonight and enjoyed it - only downside was I couldn’t get small chainring up the hill
