Majesco has confirmed that a technical issue was responsible for the problems experienced with last night's launch of the Advent Rising "Race to Save Humanity" contest. The cause of the issue has been identified and rectified, and Majesco currently sees no evidence to suggest a reoccurrence.

We understand the angst this issue created and we've begun to identify winners for Week #1 and will award all allotted prizes. Furthermore, for next week, we will be increasing the prize packages to include an additional $10,000 cash prize and a host of other prizes. The Week #2 competition kicks off as planned on Thursday, June 16 at 8PM ET/5PM PT.

Majesco regrets any inconvenience to players and wishes them good luck over the next five weeks of the competition as we build to the big $1 million grand prize.

Not completely forthcoming, but they are trying. On to week two it seems !
