# 🔧 FFS Community Update — Open Lobby Server Stability
@everyone
Hey everyone,
I wanted to address the server crashes that some of you have been experiencing and provide an update on what's happening behind the scenes.
First, I want to apologize to everyone who's had their races interrupted. I understand how frustrating it is, especially when you're having a good race and the server suddenly goes down.
**What's happening?**
After spending considerable time investigating, I've discovered that Assetto Corsa Server Manager (ACSM) is experiencing sudden, extreme memory spikes that can cause the servers to crash.
I'm not entirely sure how long this issue has been occurring. It's possible that it's been happening for quite some time, and I've only recently managed to identify what's actually causing the crashes.
What's particularly difficult is that the servers can run perfectly fine for many hours, even with a full grid, before suddenly experiencing a crash.
**What am I doing about it?**
I've been putting a significant amount of time into investigating the problem, including:
- Monitoring server performance and memory usage.
- Examining crash logs and collecting detailed diagnostics.
- Updating ACSM to newer versions.
- Investigating different server configurations.
- Reviewing our own systems and recent changes to identify anything that might be contributing.
- Preparing detailed crash reports and diagnostic evidence for the ACSM developer.
**What's next?**
While I've identified what's causing the servers to shut down, I'm still working to determine what's triggering these sudden memory spikes in the first place.
My priority is getting the servers as stable and reliable as possible.
I also want to thank everyone who's reported problems. Your feedback helps me understand how frequently these issues are occurring and where to focus my investigation.
**I want to reassure everyone that these problems aren't being ignored.** I've been spending a lot of my free time trying to get to the bottom of this, and I'll continue working on it until we have a better understanding of what's happening.
Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and continued support.

### 🛠️ FFS EVO | Server Testing Notice
We'll be doing some testing on our EVO servers shortly to troubleshoot an issue involving modded and unmodded servers running together.
**Testing has not started yet.** We're giving everyone a chance to finish their current practice sessions before we begin.
Once testing begins, you may temporarily experience connection issues or missing-content errors when joining our EVO servers. We also can't rule out interruptions to active sessions.
**We'll post another announcement when testing officially begins**, and again once everything is back to normal.
Thanks for your patience!
🛠️ **FFS EVO | Server Update**
Same as yesterday's notice
I've disabled the modded Endurance server while we continue investigating the issue.
The regular EVO servers should now be accessible again. I've successfully tested connecting from my other PC, which doesn't have any mods installed.
I'm not 100% certain everything is resolved yet, so if anyone still encounters missing-content errors or has trouble connecting, please let us know. https://discord.com/channels/1549000877241794600/1549000878327988258
Thanks again for your patience!
🛠️ FFS EVO | Server Maintenance
We're currently performing maintenance and testing on our EVO servers to investigate an issue with modded content.
The servers will remain visible in the in-game server browser, but you won't be able to join them during this period.
We'll let everyone know once testing is complete and the servers are available again.
Thanks for your patience and understanding!
