    This is an advance notice that, in order to complete important maintenance on the system,
    Dovetail Live will be turned off from 08:00 BST on Thursday, 14 May.

    This will mean that all services that use our online systems (Mastery, Creators Club, Railfan Shots, in-game news articles), will be inaccessible for the duration of the maintenance. Players will not be able to log into our forums, but if already logged in, should be able to post.

    We expect this to last up to 24 hours, but we will endeavour to keep disruption to a minimum. We will confirm when the systems are back up and operational again.

    For users that were signed in, Mastery will switch to offline recording, and events will be saved in save files, up to a limit. When the system is back up, the next time the game is started, the recorded stats will be sent to the server. Therefore, you should not lose your progress.

    Players will also not be able to create a Dovetail Live or Forum account during this time.

    We thank you in advance for your patience whilst we complete this necessary work

    Is this only maintenance, or does the work also entail fixes for known issues (mastery for example)?

    Could do with to fix the issues that seem to spoil the Monthly Mastery, pretty much every time.

    No worries Jamie. I managed to get a couple of Kola Peninsula contracts done in Snowrunner instead!

    I quite enjoyed Taymyr. It can be tough though if you've done some of the DLC, you'll know what to expect. Even the first map has a few tricks up its sleeve and you won't be spending much time on any sort of surfaced highway!

    I've noticed a small bug today during login where it displays "Dovetail Live returned an unknown error. Please try again later." and it's not connecting me to my account.
    I have to press the login button several times to finally be login.
    I had never had or seen this problem before.

    this problem did not occur before the "maintenance" (and in fact never occured before)
