Package file with DLC content not installing

[Mark Schilling]

I packaged the endurance DLC and Le Mans to race with a friend. The package installs fine for me but won't install for him. A package with non paid stuff works fine. What am I doing wrong.

The rFactor 2 hosting system is so outdated and terrible it is beyond words. Compare it to getting an MP game up and running in Pcars2 and it's laughable.

Anyone have any ideas why it fails to validate for my friend?

I forwarded the link to my friend and will ask him to try. I think the content was showing up in single player for him though.

What error message does your friend get, if you start your server with your dlc package, and he tries to join it?

Err, did your friend buy the DLC?

Reads like you put on an eye patch, started talking with a funny accent and developed scurvy.

Read the OP.
Thought to myself, "Surely not, cheeky for trying it, moronic for asking why it won't work, surely I misread it"
Reread OP and because it's not the usual "friend can't see or join my server but I can" problem but involves an unusual "paid content packaged for a friend" it's hard to not think about life on the high seas before a mutiny.

Neither of us pirate stuff. We are both adults with jobs and can afford to buy things!

We both bought the DLC. I can join the server but he keeps getting failure. We both have the DLC's installed and they are showing up in the package manager. If we use normal non-paid mods then it's fine but every time he tries to install the package file for the mp server it won't install. It's very strange.

We will try again this week. He has kids so his time online is limited. We spent an hour messing around last day to no avail.

Has may have a mod server file or some such file causing a conflict. You haven't mentioned what is happening error messages etc.
When you say "he tries to install the package file for the mp server it won't install" do you mean he selects the server in the server list of the launcher and then selects "join" which is when the package file starts but fails to download?
Or is he doing something else?
