Dedicated Server

ZkidMarkZ · Aug 9, 2013

Hi,
I've been playing some multiplayer over Internet with a friend for a couple of days.
I'm now interested in setting up a dedicated server with a lobby on my Server-PC (Running Windows 7).
The game refuses to connect to both the default lobby at lobby.racer.nl and while using lobbyserver.exe.
I don't really understand what "enable=1" does as oppose to running lobbyserver.exe..
Can anyone with more experience help me out?
Thanks in advance!

you have to do some port forwarding as I recall, don't remember what ports off the top of my head, I think it is documented on racer.nl somewhere.

I have already forwarded UDP port 25000 and 28100, but still no success

Hmm... Have you allowed public access to your lobbyserver, Racer....ect.

ZkidMarkZ · Aug 9, 2013

what do you mean with "public access" ?

firewall

I only use Windows Firewall and that was disabled

I had one

Been a while now......
As I remember it was fairly easy to set up.
But it was most fun with the multiplayer, and not the lobby ;-)

You should make a dyndns if you dont have static ip.
Also set in server.ini "enable=1" if you run multilobby and open 28100 against the ip of the computer you are running the server
I think the lobby server is down

If you want to run multiplayer (wich is more fun) you need to open 25000.
Now in racer just klikk on "Host multiplayer"

What I have seen is that many versions of Racer dont work well in multiplayer.
The latest 0.9.0RC6, dosent load.

The most stable "I think" is 0655

I just tried it and it seems to work. BUT only against the same version.
Newer version will terminate the server.

I´ll give it a go! See here:
