I've noticed a couple of things happening, the first one before the new patch but still occuring. The second one only since the patch, but it might well be unrelated.
First issue is frequent crashing when in decs, under the following conditions. I deliberately remove a dog from a race. I then spot another race I want him in but when I click on the race to enter him, bingo and wipeout.
Second prob. is particularly strange, as it only appears to effect 275m races. I have two top class 275 runners. On more than one occasion, they have won their semi finals. Come the final, neither are in it - and no race clashing either !!
Finally, on the subject of semi finals, does anyone else find that if they are lucky enough to get, say, three runners through to the semis, they are all lumped in the same semi? Happens so frequently in my case that it seems to be way beyond the pure laws of chance.
Would be some right, rollicking complaints to racing managers if that consistently occured in real life !!
