Just a heads up that there will be some scheduled server maintenance starting this coming Thursday morning August 26th (ie - tomorrow, Wednesday late night) at 1:00 AM Eastern. This maintenance will unfortunately require some downtime for Social Club services both on the web and in-game, as well as a few other online services for the games as listed below. We expect this maintenance period to last in the range of 6-12 hours worst case, so expect services to resume as normal no later than 1:00 PM Eastern time on Thursday afternoon.
Our apologies especially to all our late night and early morning multiplayers who may be inconvenienced for a bit. Please expect the Social Club website, Social Club accounts, and multiplayer matchmaking services for many of our games to be unavailable during this time.
Note that all single-player game modes will remain unaffected during the maintenance period.
Here is a list of specific services that will be affected during our maintenance window:
Red Dead Redemption:
- Leaderboards
- SC reg/login
- Stats Comparison
- Unlocks
- Challenges
- News
Grand Theft Auto IV:
- Matchmaking
- Leaderboards
- Video upload (PC)
- Login to Social Club App (PC)
Midnight Club Los Angeles:
- Matchmaking
- Leaderboards
- Rate My Ride
- Screenshot upload
Beaterator:
- Song Upload/Download
Chinatown Wars:
- Stats Syncing
Newswire:
- Posting of comments
Social Club:
- Site offline
We will update this thread (as well as our Twitter and Facebook) when maintenance is complete and we are back up. Thanks again all.

When I want to join "Rate my Ride" in Mid---ht Club LA it tells me: "The Mid---ht Club La Server is temorary unavailable, Please try again later"
Are you still working on it?
Sometimes I can join in and upload my car, but when I want to rate other cars the upstanding war--- comes and I have to go back to singleplayer.
