Browser cache / Error 503 / UI loading problem

RaceRoom’s embedded browser can fail while the simulator process is still running. A local BrowserData reset may help damaged browser state, but an HTTP 503 can also be a service-side failure.

Checks and expected results

Before you repair it

Record the exact browser error and whether the rest of RaceRoom remains responsive.
Check RaceRoom’s official service information before resetting local data for a 503.
If current evidence supports damaged local browser state, close RaceRoom and preserve BrowserData before clearing it.

How to confirm the result

Relaunch and revisit the same browser screen. If a service outage persists, a rebuilt local cache will not resolve it; retain the error and retry when the service is available.

Repair limits and when to stop

A BrowserData directory opened log line is normal. The 503 detector identifies a failure, not its root cause; cache clearing cannot repair RaceRoom’s servers.

How PitMedic recognizes it

RaceRoom reports Error 503, CEF/browser loading errors, or the browser UI fails while the game process remains otherwise functional.

Built-in response

Back up and clear BrowserData cache/state so RaceRoom can rebuild its embedded browser data.

Normal initialization text is not a fault

Verified automated regression test · 2026-09-28

Test setup

Synthetic lines included Loading Video.VideoSettings profile, ShaderCache initialized successfully, and BrowserData directory opened.

Observed result

Those normal lines produced no fault match. A separate HTTP 503 Service Unavailable line remained detectable for RaceRoom.

What this establishes

This verifies log matching only. Recognizing a 503 does not prove that clearing local browser data will fix a server-side failure.
