    503 is an http-error code. Meaning: the server in general is reachable but the service hosted on the server is currently unaviable. Looks like nothing wrong on your side.

    Do you still have this problem? Is your game updated?

    It was updated, but I uninstalled it and now install again. It will finish in under 2 hours.

    If this is really a HTTP 503 error (which means "Service Unavailable") then this should affect everyone (all the time or randomly). But it doesn't, haven't seen any complaints about that. The only way I can make sense of this, is something's wrong with your game or its settings and it's trying to connect to a wrong server...

    Possibly a problem with the firewall settings?

    Hi I posted this in the general forum but noted it may be beter hear.

    Since Tuesday RaceRoom will no longer start.
    When selected I get to the advertising screen with the dots moving across the base of the screen then after about 5 minutes I get a message saying

    Error 503
    Backend service unavailable Check back later

    However I have been trying for the last 2 days!
    Once or twice I got into the game, selected single player then I get the loading screen with the dots moving across the base of the screen but no further.
    Please note my internet is working fine for all other games, ACC, MSFS, 2020 etc but race room is a no go for me since Tuesday night NZ time.
    Thanks in advance if you can help.
    Best wishes
    Bob

    Please note
    I have been using RaceRoom for 2 years with no issues. Nothing has changed on my PC However for over 2 days Race room will not start
