Track don't install

[Emmanuel1827]

I downloaded sm_Autodromo_di_Imola v1.2, put it in Packages, however, it don't show in the Launcher, even when I refresh.
What should I do?

What are the letters after the . ? zip? rfcmp? Also use windows explorer to ensure the file is in the packages folder and not nested inside the packages folder. i.e. rfactor2/packages/rfactor2/packages

 

[Emmanuel1827]

The file is .rfcmp. Actually: sm_Autodromo_di_Imola_v1.2.rfcmp
It is inside rfactor2/packages.
I have other tracks in the same folder.

Good that you have it properly located. About the only other advice I can give is to try the old UI. Some users have reported some tracks are not appearing in the Web UI.

I am still using the old UI.

 

[Manfredk2]

you should open your eyes

 

[Emmanuel1827]

This is strange. I tried other downloads, several tracks. put them in the Package folder, however when I start the Launcher they don't show. same after refresh.

Does it show in the packages-tab in the game? Are you able to right-click it in there and install it?

 

[Emmanuel1827]

I reverted to old UI 1121, but it is the same.

 

[Emmanuel1827]

Is it possible that the number of items in the launcher is limited?

 

[Emmanuel1827]

I found the solution. It looks like it is only possible with the new UI to install tracks. The old one with the launcher don't seams to have this possibility any more.
I went to the black field Content / Packages scrolled till I found it, right click and Install.
It works now.

 

[Manfredk2]

Thats not true. I installed the track also with the old UI. Go to the second icon in the launcher (the parcel) and install the track. You could sort installed and uninstalled items.

 

[Roy Magnes]

1 - Open the game, choose packages
2 - Find the circuit in the list, right click and choose "install"

Still works with the old UI without a problem...

You can have as many "packages" folders as you like which means you can store them on another drive or computer. This way you can divide content by cars and tracks or other way you wish or save SSD space

You don't have to start the rF2 or Steam to install packages manually

Make a shortcut for this
[DRIVE]:\STEAM\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Bin32\ModMgr.exe

Faster to open
Filter out types of content
Right click to add, remove or delete
Highlight multiple content

edit: Forgot the big one
Mod manager you can use even when you are in a room, so in my server I can make a new mod for next session without leaving my garage

This is why I make a server for any and all offline sessions which allows you to use ModMgr and Mas2 without pausing the room so leaves ai you testing or making real road continue

What are the letters after the . ? zip?

rfcmp = rFactor component
rfmod = rFactor mod


Another good reason not use default packages when you decide to do a fresh install you will have to move all that content from packages then copy them back again

My Packages folder has 15 rfmods = 551kb total

If I did the way everyone says to I would have 40GB in there

Yes this is what I tried but even with refresh the track did not come in the launcher. This was the first time I had this issue.

That is exactly how I installed all my tracks. Strange that it did not show up even after refresh. However, now that is installed after installing it manually in the new UI (V1122), I reverted to the old one (V1121) to check and it is on it, installed. Very strange.
