Hi all, I've got an issue with multiplayer games ... I tried to find a solve on several forums but without success. When I try to join a server with components I don't have, I pass checking step, download window appears but download doesn't start and I get an error message in red "bad file descriptor". For your information, I played one day and everything was ok. After that I've had this issue. I tried to uninstall the game and reinstall it but issue is still there, even with server where download worked perfectly the first day. Any idea ??? Thanks a lot !
Allready tried ISI support answered me : "This means the mod you do not have is not on our getmod service. You need to MANUALLY find, MANUALLY download and MANUALLY install the missing mod." I asked him why it worked fine few days then doesn't work anymore ... On the same server without any change. And I don't know what is their "getmod service".
Well ! Answer of ISI : How do you know the server did not change? Is it your server? Anyway, I don't known what magic trick happened but it seems to re-work now ............... The only thing I do : I just downloaded & installed a mod manually, try to join a server with this mod and download of the track started ... After that I tried to join a lambda server and mod & track started. Ok .... Probably a bug ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Hum.
I don't like magic trick ... I want always find the "how" When I installed manually the mod I saw package Dir was .../bin32/packages/ and ... It did not exist ! I changed directory to .../rfactor2/packages/ and it got the mod. I just tried to make reverse and I get the "bad file descriptor" message. So ... It was a bug ! But I really don't why the directory of packages has been changed ... and for a unreal directory.
I'm having the same issue. Cannot join a single server as the mod download fails with the error. And the issue is 100% with the game as if I use my software to download and install everything it works fine... Below is a different server but same track. Had gotten same error too. So, please check it out, I'm sure it some bug on your side.
Did you check your package directory ? It has to be a valid one. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5qfemagbdi1ies4/Capture rf2.JPG?dl=0
So your suggestion worked! It seems if the path does not exist than rF2 does not create it by default and gives this error. Quite misleading in my opinion and there should be a check and an alert to the user by the app Thanks!
