How to: find servers in the rFactor lobby?

[Bram Hengeveld]

No problem they are online but sometimes the lobby reacts strange. Please try the following to solve this problem:

• Go to: X:\rFactor\UserData\Your Name
• Find Multiplayer.ini
• Right click and open with notepad
• Find:

• Concurrent Server Updates="[B]400[/B]" // servers in join list, should be less for modem users, more for broadband (game now automatically finds more if (3 * download_kbps) exceeds this number)

• Replace with:

• Concurrent Server Updates="[B]1000[/B]" // servers in join list, should be less for modem users, more for broadband (game now automatically finds more if (3 * download_kbps) exceeds this number)

• Don't forget that we write our server name in capitals. rFactor list small letters first followed by capitals

Since the new ip i have reverted those settings and the servers shows 10/10 for me now :woop:

that is good to hear, for me usually i need to do 1 refresh to see the RD server but the other night it was there straight away. i hope it stays like that, or Ben will get old very quickly and run out of keyboards lol

10/10 tonight again with default multiplayer settings, so i suggest those guys that are around the 1000 level go back to default. Works perfect now!

Awesomeness. I'll give it a try after I "lure" my brother off Half-Life 2... :terminator:

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Gonna unstick this thread. Problem is solved now: default settings will make our server show up again!

I have alot of time when i exit the server (like last night) that i need to wait 5 min or more to get back in, even when i restart the game. I says then "joined time out". But i saw yesterday people leaving, but the where back in 10 seconds, how come?

 

[Ben Tusting]

I find it's harder for me to find the server now. (Will try with Default settings when i get back home)

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

10/10 with default settings, no more issues finding it with the new ip. I am really happy it got changed

 

[Daniel Higgins]

rFactor Servers

My team mate is hosting a server on rFactor for our team and we have hard time tracking it by just refreshing on the list with all the servers.

Sure we can try to track it by the IP but I was wondering how is it possible to make so the Server is quickly visialbe by just refreshing the list once because when I use to join the FSONE 09 races on the club I always find the server as quickly as I enter the list with all the servers.

I hope there is an answer to this because it would be VERY helpful.

It's best if you go to your Multiplayer.ini, open with Notepad and change 'Concurrent Server Updates' to 1000.

Even then you may need a couple of refreshes but it helps.

Finally got SimSync to work, and now I cannot find the RD server. Can you post an IP addr? I have changed to 1000, and I refreshed a dozen times. I can see the Water Blue Racing server, but I don't have the password. I want to both do some driving online, and to check that the sync truly did work.

Thanks!

 

[Ivo Simons]

I cant give you the IP adress and it also doesnt work because we disabled it on the server to direct IP.
Did it work before? I have it on 400 and it always works for me instant.

 

[Chris Vick]

The only RaceDepartment server I can find is WTM. I cannot find anything with FPWS nor under the cars FSONE2009, except there I can find Water Blue Racing. Can you at least give me the full name of the server?

 

[Ryan Callan]

There is no server running for FPWS currently

Maybe Ivo will put one up soon for testing

 

[Abdul Al-Amry]

I was starting to freak out until I read Ryan's post ^^

 

[Ivo Simons]

Ah oke indeed there is no server up.
The plan is to have it op today.
