[[=PUG=]Pecka]

Hi Guys.

I've setup a dedicated rfactor2 server which appears to be all running fine that i can see,
The Ports are
UDP+TCP 54297
TCP 64297
UDP 64298
UDP 64299

The problem is that its not showing up in the server list, also if I run it as a lan server it dosnt show up either?

Glad its just not me then, Begining to wonder why I bothered changing over to Stream, no one seems to give a ♥♥♥♥! :(

Yup agree. Ive given up trying... really pissed me off.

its all firewall stuff and router firmware, play with firewall, public and private settings, in the advanced settings, i dont even forward ports and everything works flawless.

+1 having same issue. In my case it surely isn't a network/firewall issue. I did use the server for several months in the past, now I just updated it (even if SteamCMD says it's already up to date). I can normally run dedi on the server and everything looks fine from there, but neither I or my friends are able to see it in the launcher list.
Nothing is changed by my side since few months ago when I ran the server for the last time, while some updates came out for rf2, but I can't really tell what's happened.

I have finally gotten a LAN Server to show up... but I want it to be LAN, so that I can other computers can download missing components... I changed the HTTP line in the Multiplayer.json file and that's what fixed the LAN server.. but nothing I do makes a WAN server show up...

Can anyone PLEASE help?

are you playing and hosting from the same machine ?

NO I have a host machine... and 4 sim machines.

ah ok, well I host and play from the same machine - I connect to my game via Lan and am unable to see it listed as Wan, but all my friends can see it on Wan so no issue they simply join from the multiplayer menu. If your machines are on the same network wouldn't that be the same for you ?

Not sure. If I set up a WAN server... I cant see it on the multi player list... I can see it as a LAN, if I set up a LAN server... BUT it wont download missing components over LAN... so I need to set up a WAN... would make my life much simpler

Ok, well you have the basic functionality which is a bonus I guess.

I don't think you will see your server as a Wan from your end as your other machine is essentially on your home network and you are connecting to it locally. You might have a google to see if setting your server on a different static IP might be a solution ?

In terms of downloading components, there are guides to setting http links for content etc. For me, I just play with a small handful of friends with some AI filling out the field. The simplest solution is to confirm we have the same content installed, then make a package in the Mas utility and email them the small mod for them to install and good to go.

That isn't a workaround if you want a big public server, but for a password protected one where you know the other players it works well.

Best of luck anyway
