    Hi,

    I have currently got a server working on rFactor 2, which runs great but I was just wondering if it is possible to run more then 1 rFactor 2 server on 1 computer? If so how can you do it.

    I would appreciate it if anyone could help :)

    Thanks,
    James

    In rF1 we just copied the dedicated exe,adjusted the multiplayer files to have a different port,opened it in router etc
    and configured..........
    not sure if it's the same for rF2?

    Hey James,

    - You need to make a 2nd rF2 lite install
    - copy the userdata from the first to the second install (you'll have the same settings)
    - IMPORTANT: change the Port nr for the second server.
    - spread the ports "1000" from each other
    - open those ports in your router

    - you can install content from a common "packages" folder.
    - vmods need to be in the packages folder from that server.

    Build 906 bug work around:

    - if you change "packages dir" and or "working dir" in the mod-manager to install content on a different server install:
    Close the mod manager and open it again. Then it shows you the correct packages installed.
    - same thing if you "delete" a vmod after uninstalling it.

    Note: you need a minimum of 256kbs up and download per connected client.
    If there are +20 clients, you'll need more per client.

    Make sure your upload speed can handle it.
