1.9.0 Moments — No server connection, no credit for completion at all?

Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug 1.9.0 Moments - If unable to connect to EA Sports, can we please at least keep the medal even if our time doesn't make it to the board??
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I was playing last night and (possibly due to CrowdStrike) was unable at multiple instances to connect to the servers. Completed a very long Moments run and did not get credit for having created it because I couldn't connect to the server. You'll have to simulate no server connection, obviously.
What happens when the bug occurs? When the bug occurs, player not only doesn't get a time on the board, but also doesn't get credit for the medal they achieved.
What do you expect to see? While I understand not getting a time on the board, I am pretty bitter about losing the medal. It was a TWENTY minute run, which I will now have to repeat at some other point when I regain the will power to attempt it again. Basically an hour of my life gone (I made multiple attempts) because the servers were down. Ideally, I would at least get credit for completing the Moment still.

At this point I am uncertain if this was caused by an actual outage to the servers or if it's a 1.9.0 bug that caused this, because I was only getting the server connection failure sometimes when I fell of a cliff. Other times it would go through just fine. (Like a 1 in 3 chance of server connection failure.) As per my notes above though, I hadn't realized that even if my time didn't post (which I was fine with), I didn't realize I also wouldn't get credit for completing the Moment.

The Moment in question is Season 5, Determination, I think? It's a 15 mile run through Greece in a Toyota Yaris at any rate.

  • I've had the same issue on multiple moments. It started after 1.9 update.

    I had to play the same moment multiple times to get the medal. Whenever I get Unable to Connect after a SUCESSFUL run I clicked Retry multiple times across multiple minutes and it did not help. Only doing a moment again helps, but even then you're not sure if it will connect. Sometimes even the second completion of a moment did not help.

  • Was just browsing the Moments channel of your Discord and noticed multiple people having the same issue and someone describing the bug exactly the same way I have concluded it works. 

    Restarting after you just finally got the gold is an incredible fun killer, guys. Are there plans to fix this any time soon?

  • restarting any stage after submitting a score always gives throws a server error when you finish and submit your new result. hasnt been fixed in 6 months

  • Which means it happens on stages where you’re really having trouble and when you finally get it right… the score can’t be submitted and your progress is lost completely. Absolute frustrating nightmare! EA… please…

    I found workaround to this stupid bug.  - if you quit the moment and restart, you don't lose any progress even on multi-stages, the bug goes away.

    Here's how -

    If you finish the stage:

    1. Press restart and drive after the countdown

    2. Pause and press Quit

    3. In The Moment's Menu Select the Moment that you're working on

    4. finish the race and it will be error free - NO CONNECT ERROR ON FINISH

    If you didn't finish the stage and just need to start over:

    Skip to step 2

    Steam/PC tested only

    g'luck racers,
