    Would be possible to update components at the server?
    In my case, I don't feel like installing former versions just for one test ;)

    Thanks

    Hm, are you saying the contentbuild contains old components? Thanks for the heads-up!

    It's Malaysia, Lime Rock and Renault Clio (I wish it was also the Marussia, because that would mean that it would have been updated ;), but not, MR01 at the server is current version)

    Is there a chance that rF2 will support Linux in the future? Then I'll have no reason to have this horrible OS called windows on my pc anymore.

    OK guys i've managed to run the full 946 version on linux, it's a little bit long, but works fine.

    You need to install the lastest version of playonLinux
    install RF2 lite from there
    when finished click on the shortcut created on PlayonLinux, from wine->install components and install
    vcrun2008
    vcrun2010
    vcrun2012
    vcrun2013

    after that, follow this guide and install orignin client (the will crash otherwise)
    http://forums.bodhilinux.com/index.php?/topic/10322-providing-support-for-unsupported-linux-games/

    After this use this flag to start the launcher
    LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=0

    and you are done

    Hi guys i've managed a fresh full install of rf2 build 946.

    i've installed on a debian 7.8 32bit.
    Installed lastest version of wine 1.7.41 (recompiled)
    on playonlinux, after install rfactor2 lite, you need to install vcrun2008 to vcrun2013 and origin pkg, on wine section inside launcher shortcut that you have created

    on the shortcut created for the launcher put this

    ok i've a problem actually, when start the server all seems fine, client download the vmod and is all fine.

    If i perform a "next session", and the client dont have the content vmod downloaded, when he try to connect the mod download fail.

    Now, the strange thing is, if i attach a strace to the server pid, (and problably slow down a little bit it), the mod download works fine ... o_O someone got problmes with th automatic mod download from server with wine?

    edit: the problem is related to the password protected server, if i start a server with no password it works perfectly and download the mod also if i skip a session or whatever.

    the problem seem related the "time" taken to insert the password, sometimes work sometimes not, and the fact that with a strace attached to the pid works, is indicative that the strace "slow down" the communication a little bit, enough to finish the auth and download the mod....

    thx

    Hm, the strace hint is a great one. I've also noted that auto-updating never works because the individual downloads time out after 80%, so I've always had to install a new litebuild in-place over the old one.

    As far as i'm concerned though vmod d/l usually works fine, even when making several attempts (usually it's only a 700kb file).

    Are you using the "classic dedicated" interface?

    There's no problem if i put the server as public with no password, and there is no problem if i just start the server for the first time, the problem will begin when the server o i manually go to next session...

    I use the standard dedicated server, the classic wine rFactor2 Dedicated.exe +path=..

    with a strace attached to the pid works perfect every time o_O

    Very weird. That function has been working for me fine ever since I did the first wine rf2 experiments. I compiled wine from source, but that's most likely not the culprit...

    i've also compiled wine 1.7.41 is not related to that btw... (the source or binary i meen)

    from 2 day until now the server is running with several AI ... no problems...
    is not a big issue the mod download only when is password protected.. really... i've also attached to liveracers and all run smooth...

    for now the server will remain open for test, who wonna came and test is welcome... the name of the server is "Monkey-Drivers-Linux"...

    Hi folks,

    I've updated the server with the new DW12 and Atlanta Motorsports Park (Road Course).

    Enjoy,

    Hi folks,

    the wine server has been updated to build 982, using the DW12 @ Silverstone, Atlanta MP and Indy.

    All the best
