FORT-984691 has been ‘Backlogged’. This is an issue we’d like to address in the future.

This bug also affects my Creator Island for like 2 months now: 9553-7146-9338
It allows to practice skills in a free-style environment.
Now I’ve lost all my players.

Some islands were fixed last week (e.g. these reported in this thread work).
But mine is still unplayable today (although I was able to start 2 or 3 races yesterday).

There are also another related bugs that happen when the race doesn’t start:

  • the Rocket Drift (Shift key) does not work at all
  • when you crash your car, your character respawns in air and you glide to the ground and can walk around the map

I have tried many things to solve the problem in my own project but it seems there is no solution for now.

All racing systems now work correctly

The bug has been fixed.

Actually no. After uploading a new version of my map it again doesn’t work.

Yes, I tested the correct island and the bug still persists.

This is an interesting situation.
Everything seems fine on the other Rocket Racing islands I tested. I don’t see any problems, especially on my own map.
Maybe it would be helpful to update your island
