Problems finding our server

[Bram Hengeveld]

Am i the only one that never can find our server in the rfactor lobby?

 

[Jens Piskorsch]

There was a fix in our forum, but I can't find. As far as I remember it should work if you edit your multiplayer.ini (in Gamedata/userdata/"your name"/ ), search for 'concurrent' and edit the value from 400 to 1200.

EDIT:
Ahh, found it, sticky in this rfactor thread http://forum.racedepartment.com/rfactor/4459-lobby-refresh-problems.html

I sink that there is also an easy way to find a server, (klik) above the servernames then the server names go to alphabetic order , or the same by tracks so you can find the server faster.

Oh come on, don't you think that our Bram is able to sort his server list? :frusty:

Problem is that with non edited multiplayer.ini not all available servers are displayed so he can't find it.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Yep, what ever i do, sorting it, refreshing it etc, it simply won't show up for me

Have you tried the solution in Jens' post?

I stumbled into the same problem a couple of days ago. By increasing this value up to 1200 or higher, it seems to solve the problem. Thank you Jens for pointing this out :thumb:

Working Bram ?

Or you can use mUtil. It will connect you directly to a server before you even think about starting rF :thumb:

 

[Patrick van Driel]

Nice! i will try that tonight Thanks:thumb:

 

[Günthar Rowe]

my pleasure...

could you post the IP address in the password section, in the past i`ve found this to be the quickest way to find a server.

The tip in post #2 (http://forum.racedepartment.com/113330-post2.html) did the trick for me...
Doing 20+ refreshes in the past is now reduces to around 4 to find the server.

We don't fancy in posting the IP

ok, but i was just concerned about this "please note this is only recommended for high speed broadband internet connections." am affraid my upto 8mb Sky broadband is giving me <2

 

[Andrew Evans]

arf! "high speed" is marketing speak for anything faster than dial-up

 

[Igor Krstinic]

Does anybody knows some website with list of servers and their IP? Because my friend had same problem in finding our server even he raised Concurrent Server Updates to 1000.

 

[Andrew Evans]

sometimes it can still take a refresh or two to find it & don't forget to sort the list alphabetically...

as far as i'm aware, rd doesn't publish the ip addresses for the servers....

 

[Warren Dawes]

Was the server set up and available at the time he was looking?

 

[Igor Krstinic]

eh, I didnt mention, I was talking about another server not racedepartments. Yes, it was set up and available.
Long ago I found a site with list of current online servers, but now cant remember where.
