Monaco only gives points in the Championship mode, so if u would play a championship
the result will be updated accordingly.
Ah ok. That makes sense. I guess no one has had a spare few hours to play Championship yet. :lol:

Was gonna correct Monaco 0's explanation but Shu beat me to it hehe.

Great that we can already see both games best times on the website! Seems that nobody played Monaco since the update exept the 3 races we did the other day lol.

I have a lot of practice to do before I play these games online. Lol I'm nothing impressive yet.

I'm excited to try this! I am getting an error and I don't think anyone else has posted, I combed through the thread. Hopefully I didn't miss anything. Upon account creation (and trying to login in case the account creation went through) I get this error:

Operation Failed
Read Configuration Failed.
HTTP Server Not Found

Any ideas?

Are you using a BBA, DreamPi, LanModem (Netopia method) or other? To note, I got this same ism. Shuouma had to send me a password and also PCwzrd13 discovered that you need to set up your connection in POD network menu as "static".

Sorry, important detail to leave out. I'm using a BBA. I did setup in static. Maybe I'll need to wait until Shouma can see this post then.

Should work now Friends of Sonic

Little back-story:
One of the server-modules is pretty exposed on the Internet
so I get a lot of attacks/probes against that port.

So I have a nasty bug (that only occurs when I'm not monitoring it of course)
that makes the module to crash. I have done serveral fixes now in addition
that I now monitor the process 24/7. The crash happens because of a specific
attack/probe.

So if you get that the HTTP server is down, that means that the module has crashed.
If you get Invalid configuration, that means the DNS setup is wrong.

Hopefully I have resolved this now, starting to get annoying.
