BAR game servers and lobby servers run separately, so a lobby crash will never drop you from an active match, and NVIDIA Control Panel access denied errors fix by running as administrator.

BAR's game servers and lobby servers operate independently. Once a match starts, the game runs on the host server. The lobby server only manages matchmaking, chat, and room creation. If the lobby server goes down mid-match, the game continues uninterrupted. This design is intentional and prevents the worst case of every active game crashing because of a server outage.
Some players get Access Denied when trying to save performance profiles for spring.exe in NVIDIA Control Panel. The fix is to run NVIDIA Control Panel as administrator. This grants the necessary permissions to write custom profiles for the Spring engine.
Skylobby is an unofficial third-party lobby client. It is not officially supported by the BAR development team. When authentication changes occur, Skylobby users need to update their client to work with the new requirements. Check the Skylobby releases page for patches.
Clear information, clean execution, and low-drama learning habits help teams improve without pointless blame.
"Creed of Champions is a great place to learn and play BAR in a friendly atmosphere. Training sessions, team gameplay, even some non-BAR stuff. Large cross section of abilities, time zones, and game mode interests." [Crd]
