How to: find servers in the rFactor lobby?

Bram Hengeveld · Nov 2, 2008

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:

Code:

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:

Code:

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

Read post #1 if you can't find our LMS server

For Windows 7 users location of the file is found here

C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\rFactor\UserData

Make sure to go to "Organise" - Folder and Search options then View tab and choose to Show hidden files to see AppData.

You sure Abdul?

I'm on W7 and the file is in the same place as it's always been...

Abdul Al-Amry · Aug 8, 2009

Yup sure. The user folder location is the one I have provided. In the normal place that folder isnt available.

GAAAH, this is driving me crazy. I have the latest version of rF, I edited the PLR file accordingly and I STILL can't find the RD servers, no matter how much I refresh or look through the list... :frusty:

My OS is Windows XP SP3 if that helps...

Bram Hengeveld · Aug 9, 2009

Me too, and i still dont know why this only happen to our servers. All others seem to be fine all the time

Anyone tried going Over 1000? Might Show even more servers.

Simon Trendell · Aug 9, 2009

I'm on 1600 and the LMS server has only not appeared once for me.

Simon Trendell · Aug 9, 2009

If your still having issues try putting both these lines to 0, both in the same Multiplayer.ini file.

Gamelist AutoRefresh (LAN)="0" // if true, the gamelist will auto refresh on page activation if LAN refresh type is selected
Auto Join Chat Server="1" // Whether to auto join to lobby chat during start up

You'll have to refresh the lobby manually.

Piotr Misiorek · Aug 9, 2009

what's the IP address of server??

in rfactor you can find servers also by IP so it should be helpfull

Simon Trendell · Aug 9, 2009

We don't give out the IP address of the server.

:lol:

Bram Hengeveld · Aug 10, 2009

Whahahahahahaha, love it

You made my day Ben, you really did, haha

Rhys Gardiner · Aug 15, 2009

Grrr! This is driving me up the wall.

I open the file with notepad, change the value from 1000 to 1600 (RD servers STILL not showing up) and save the .ini file. What puzzles me is that every time I access the file afterwards (after running rF) it seems to reset itself to 1000. The RD servers are still not showing up, and I have no idea what's keeping me from going insane. :at-wits-end:

Bram Hengeveld · Aug 17, 2009

Since our server has a new ip i have no trouble finding it anymore. Maybe reset to basic setttings and try again.

Dont forget we spell our servername in capitals and they are not in the same list as the non capital servernames
