None of those errors should be of importance. Or so I've been thinking, but I'll have a go at eliminating them in beta 7 and see if it helps.

Kalle, et all this is the same problem that I had. The clue for me was when you told me that you were working in Open GL. I solved it by going to Display properties-->settings-->advanced-->(your graphics card) in my case ATI-->Open GL. In the open GL settings I turned off the default settings and then adjusted Anti-Aliasing and Arisotropic Filtering. The key is to turn off "Application Preference" in both. I set Texture Preference, Mipmap Detail Level, Wait for Vertical Sync all to max on scale.
Works fine now. It even reduces the flashing when I drag the screen.
Hope this helps.

Waow, this is why I love our wonderful community! Thanks captain for the info - very valuable for the future!

I'll also check if I can do some changes in the code to be more specific when I request an opengl context.

Thanks!

Just for the record, it's also important to ascertain that your screen resolution is lower than that indicated by the "max screen resolution" in the open GL tab in display properties. The max screen resolution seems to vary with the antialiasing settings. So either change screen resoltuion or the anti aliasing setting.

I am having trouble with both the old client and the new one. The new one is permanently "waiting for weather data" and shows no boats, chat, or map. I am in Cape Town at the moment, and don't know if it is this African Server, or a different problem.

The old client says "Internal server error" sometimes, and other times gives the map, but with no boat or weather data.

Anybody having the same trouble?

+++++

Make sure you have the "www." prefix before the sailonline.org/

This solved it for me. Before that, I would open another IE browser tab and put the www.etc in and the new tab downloaded, but the original tab was still waiting.

I believe Kalle has fixed this.

Better still is to log onto the web site then click "Enter race now!" from righthand column. This works every time for me now.

Thanks... I'm doing that already actally. I am beginning to suspect the local server isn't all it could be.

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031

Welcome to Sailonline’s partnership with the City of Livorno (Leghorn say the English) in cooperation with the local yacht clubs and the Italian Navy, offering all the online opportunity to race the famous Regata dell’Accademia Navale - 630nm in length. Starting and finishing in Livorno, this year the race takes you the length and breadth of the Tyrrhenian Sea via little Mortorio (Mortoriotto) off Sardinia to Capri and home again to Livorno. This race also counts towards Sailonline’s Magical Mediterranean Series and the SuperBuddy title. Online, you will be sailing a Mini 6.50, to give you a match against several of the real-life entrants, which you will be able to track on-screen!
