Why do I get moved to another server when I am in the middle of a challenge?

It only happens occasionally, but I seem to get booted to another server halfway through a challenge.  This is extremely annoying as I usually crash as a result (not good when you are heat level 10!!).  I have on occasion also been moved to a hideout or police station halfway through needing to get 100k SP or similar all following a server move.  This has the result of clearing the amassed points back to 0 and you have to start again.

Is there a fix for this or do I just have to live with it?  It gets more annoying every time it happens and is spoiling what is otherwise a very good game.  I do not mind moving servers if there is a good reason, but surely there is a way to setup the servers to recognise when someone is in the hideout or police station and move them then.  Also do not allow anyone else onto the servers once they are full.  That way if a server move is required, then it can be planned and not affect how people play the game.

Please will someone do sommething about this?

  • As far as i know one of the players acts as the host server and when they quit, presumably as they had enough of dealing with the bugs in the incomplete mess that is Need for Speed rivals, someone else becomes the host. You can change the setting so you play offline and this shouldnt happen.

    Another reason is balance in racers. It tries to keep all the tier 1 people together and so on. way to easy for a tier 4 cop to catch and crush a tier 1 racer!
