    I was driving in a server that had Meganes on Loch Drummond yesterday. After 1 hour of driving I suddenly lost connection to the server. After that I didn't see that server in the server list anymore (it had 16 drivers at the time I was connected, not ISR server though).

    I tried refresh and relaunch of the sim but the server was lost for me. After that I joined ISR server and was driving there for 40 mins without problems before I quit.

    How can a server disappear like this? This isn't exactly the first time this has happened, I think it was build 240 when this happened once.

    Any ideas?

    perhaps... just wanted to make sure if it's something else. I could ask Abriel or Wajdi because they were there too.

    EDIT: Abriel said he don't remember any crash...

    AFAIK there wasn't an issue with us that would have caused that (apart from perhaps the server crash being caused by the software).

    Does he have a concussion? :)

    I think he meant: don't remember= didn't happen to him (unless he have had a concussion :D)

    Same here, last night we had a race in a league, and about every 5 minutes lost connection. We tried two other servers leagues, it also gave the same result.
    Today, we were rolling on another mod and other circuit but still lost connection problem for any driver and the (host) server crashes.

    Something's wrong because over the last few days I have had to refresh several times to see a server and one time I could not see the server until I refreshed almost ten times. This is happening on multiple servers and I will be happy to make video of it it helps get the needed motivation. This can kill participation if people come in and simply don't see all servers and then leave thinking nobody is racing.

    Unhelpful post time...

    Ran an event ~15 hours ago, 1 hour solid practice, 1 hour 'qualifying' sessions (two Prac sessions, then Qual), and 1h45min race, 15 drivers, no disconnection or matchmaker issues.

    Would like to reiterate the request (yeah, I know, wrong part of the forum) for the ability to connect to a server via IP:port in order to avoid any matchmaker issues if they do occur. The matchmaker is obviously extremely useful but if a server is 'physically' up then not being able to connect because of a matchmaker issue is a bit irritating.

    This is what happened last night:

    1) at first try, after the 16th driver enter the session, 2 or 4 other drivers were instantly disconnected
    2) at second try, we decided to avoid practice and qualifying sessions and we immediately started the race. There were apparently no problems with 20 drivers connected. The formation lap went fine but after the race has started, when some drivers had an accident at the very first corner, the dedicated server crashed and all drivers were disconnected.
    3) at third try, all was fine as happened on 2nd try, but when a driver had a spin (during the formation lap) the dedicated server crashed.

    Now, as we start our championship on 18th November, we need to rollback to version 300 (we need to test it as we've done yesterday) because we can't use the latest one, it's impossible to use. HOnestly, we didn't expected such massive problems with multiplayer, and this is frustrating. We hope that ISI can solve this problem as soon as possible.

    I've noticed servers disappearing and having to refresh multiple times for them to reappear in the lobby. Wasn't this a problem with rF1 as well?

    In rF1 you could solve this problem by increasing the value of this option in the Multiplayer.ini file: "Concurrent Server Updates"

    This isn't a solution for rF2 though. We just have to hit refresh over and over.

    Yes I have also noticed that many servers disappear fromt the lobby and I have to refresh multiple times until they are back.

    For example, I knew my brother were racing in the Simracers4life (SR4L) server, and when I tried to join I could not find the server in the lobby. I had to refresh several times and suddenly it was back, with 3-4 players. And a few days ago, when I entered multiplayer, I was suprised that I could only find servers with max 2 players. I hit refresh button a few times, and suddenly I had a couple of servers with 10-20 players too.

    :confused:
