Downloads failing for anyone?

[TJquattro]

I am trying to download a few tracks for Assetto Corsa, but keep receiving failures after a few seconds. Anyone else having this problem right now?

e.g., https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/la-canyons.15067/

So I'm not alone. After clicking DOWNLOAD button, attached pic is what I see. I don't recall ever seeing this before, not an issue on other sites.

Is this a RaceDepartment-generated screen? I let one go over one hour, and screen stayed same.

Disappointingly, the site appears to be trying to load some sort of advertising / tracking / monetisation thing from playwire.com when you click download now, instead of the direct link we get previously.

I'm having the same issues, can't download anything...

Same here

I figured it out. Turns out you have to enable third party cookies to be able to download anything from racedepartment now... Not excactly what you want your browser to do for various exotic reasons.
There is a reason it's turned off by default in Chrome and lot's of other browsers...

Please fix this RD. You're forcing your users to lower their basic internet security.

We are not alone, there are now other threads for same problem, like this one:

Issue today downloading AC mods?

Same here. Tried Opera (with and without extensions), Chrome on phone, Edge.

www.racedepartment.com

Seems to be related to cookies, hope they fix it.

Recently i've saw that you can mod MSC/my symmer car, but when i press the download button there is just a small black screen that just loads with three dots that are loading i guess.

is it any wrong at my end or is it a server issue

They recently added some sort of advertising rubbish when you click download instead of the direct downloads we had previously and it is causing trouble for people. Solutions that may or may not work so far are disable ad blocking, temporarily enable third party cookies , temporarily allow the playwire.com domain if you use anything that will block it eg. NoScript. Some browsers appear to just not work now.

First of all ads are keeping this site running as 90TB of data each month needs to be paid for. It's causing trouble to people who don't accept 3rd party cookies (you should in order to download files) or browse with Internet Explorer (you should not use that browser in the first place and upgrade to Edge, Firefox or Chrome instead).

Secondly all browsers (clean installed versions) have been tested and work fine.

Try ME, IE, Yandex, Chrome, Firefox and still problem here...

Make sure to allow 3rd party cookies. Our site has been tested in all big browsers and works fine on non modified versions.

Same issue here for days, using Vivaldi browser - three dots forever. It works on some old version of Chromium I have though. Great security design.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

It works on Edge, Firefox and Chrome as posted a few times now.

It works on Edge, Firefox and Chrome as posted a few times now.

But only if we lower our basic internet security by allowing 3rd party cookies...

What's next? Only support for Windows 3.1?
