Yes, if you wake up in the middle of the night with a strong smell of garlic in the room you will know another 20000 frenchmen have just moved upwind of you Wink

Guessed it might happen so a slight course compromise in play - bit like Ocean sailing!

Had to go out this evening at 7:30 and given the server downtime was unable to adjust course until I returned 10mins ago. As a result I have dropped 10000 places in 4hrs.

The "maintenance" periods at 19:00 are really killing this game

gone from 210000 to 65000 during that maintainance! Looking set to make more gains today. I am off to METS now, hence being up so early! Lets hope my "safe course" sees me through the weather update and a day in Holland!

Hmm. Down 25,000 places thanks to the 'glitch'.  Oh well.

I've lost about 40000 places stuck head to wind!
Glad I didn't spend any money buying credits for this!

Reading the comments on SA it seems crashing is not a one off occurence, which does make you wonder if it is worth the effort playing the game......
