Default Updated configurator broken often?

Anyone else having these issues?

It's broken every other day since they updated to the new UI. It's currently broken for me right now (visualization).

I miss the old configurator that used to let me download full spec PDFs.

That said, I do enjoy being able to see the full slate of available PTS colors for each model, and seeing them visualized for the first time ever.

Yup, same issue across the board for Rennlisters it seems... I'm sure they are working on other updates and changes... They launch new Config, New Track your Dream/My Porsche site all at the same time... bound to have some initial bugs. Sure they will work them out and continue to improve them

For sure.

Just making sure it's not just me.

I do like a lot of the changes they made (minus the missing PDF download feature), but ouch it's been flaky.

Thank you all for the replies!

You can still generate a PDF - select Print Build and then use the Windows "print to PDF" driver.

Ah! I missed that -- all the way at the bottom.

Thank you!

It has been a nightmare for me. I have been trying to get a build in for a deposit.

Yup.

It worked for ~3 days total for me. And when it did, it was incredible. (Visualizing all the available PTS paints was amazing.)

Every iteration seems worse. Once, long ago, you could load a 3D simulation program that worked quite well. I quit playing with this one since I can't get the allocation I want anyhow.
I'm settling in with this car anyhow. Liking it quite a bit as time goes by.
Seeing the PTS choices was nice though.

It's still an issue. I checked out the DE configurator and it's whacked as well. I wonder why they don't put their changes in beta mode and give them a thorough testing first, but then again, they are not a software company.

It's been pretty bad the past week. While I understand there is complexity with so many options, it is a bit disappointing with the price of these cars.

The old one worked fine, maybe better IMHO. It had backgrounds that gave paint perspectives, and it was easier to check and visualize the options...and it worked.

Back in 2020 and early 2021 the 3D simulation allowed you to see all interior options, including deviated seat centers and deviated stitching. That hasn't worked in quite some time.

I think the visuals in the current configurator are much better than the previous one. I do wish the 3D vislizer from the previous generation that you can zoom&twist every detail of the configured car. Hope they bring that back on.
