No Games Available in Online Race - SOLVED!!! Carrying this problem report over from Build 69: http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/4791-No-Games-Available-in-Online-Race I still cannot see any games in online race. Just upgraded to Build 85, no change at all. System specs still the same: Windows: OS Name: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate OS Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601 OS Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation OS Configuration: Standalone Workstation OS Build Type: Multiprocessor Free Registered Owner: root Registered Organization: Product ID: 00426-OEM-9154315-66886 Original Install Date: 27/11/2010, 20:14:42 System Boot Time: 26/05/2012, 10:22:36 System Manufacturer: System manufacturer System Model: System Product Name System Type: x64-based PC Processor(s): 1 Processor(s) Installed.

Experimenting with port forwarding settings (which only should be necessary for running a server anyway, but nonetheless) makes no difference. I am really starting to get a little desperate here. The community I am racing with is probably going to move on from Live for Speed to rFactor 2 soon and I would really hate to find myself sidelined. If there is any information I can provide, stuff I can test, etc etc I am available for it. Cheers.
Another interesting point: I can host a dedicated rFactor 2 server on the very same machine and it successfully connects to Matchmaker and people can join it and race on it. I am quite sure now the issue must be somewhere on the ISI server side - perhaps the Matchmaker uses some sort of geolocation for clients and does not recognize/like my IP? Or maybe something went wrong with my rFactor 2 account and it's somehow not eligible or banned from online racing?
Found the problem: Apparently the matchmaking service has issues if your account password contains special characters like @,%,; and the like. I suspect the autoupdater has the same issue as it has never worked for me before either. I reset my password through the purchase tab in the launcher and kept it to letters and numbers this time and voíla - the server list is populated. I cannot tell exactly what special character in my old password was to blame and I do not want to reset my password a couple more times right now to find out, but I can do so on request (by ISI).
OK guys,problem solved! I deleted a folder on this way C:\Users\My Name\AppData\Roaming\.rFactor I re-did the login name,and a miracle happened!!!
