    Hi all,
    Since Build 1109 we are having trouble making it working in our servers, we simply don't know how to update the rFactor2 Dedicated.exe or Launcher interface and we cannot find any documentation about it..
    We appear to be running our servers with build 1108 ↓

    This is cousing a lot of mess to users involved in different leagues that have to downgrade to 1108 to get in our servers and upgrade again when they go in other servers..

    Please could someone be so kind to explain how do we update the rf2 dedicated server launchers so that users can keep their game updated?

    Thank you in advance

    "Downloading and Installing
    For people that want to host a dedicated server, a special installation is now available. It does not require you to install and run a Steam client, or log into Steam, but it does provide you with a dedicated server that will register with Steam, so it's visible in the server list.

    The installation goes as follows:

    • Download the SteamCMD archive from this link: http://media.steampowered.com/installer/steamcmd.zip
    • Create a new folder on your system for SteamCMD, for example C:\Racing\SteamCMD.
    • Put SteamCMD.exe from the archive you downloaded in that folder.
    • Open a shell (Windows+R to run a command, and then type “CMD”).
    • Go to the folder you just created: cd \Racing\SteamCMD
    • Run the following command:
      steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir ../rFactor2-Dedicated +app_update 400300 +quit

    Sit back and get a cup of coffee. Steam will download the full distribution for the dedicated server for you and install it in C:\Racing\rFactor2-Dedicated.

    If you ever want to update your installation in the future, because a new version of rFactor 2 has been released, you can simply run the SteamCMD command again and your installation will automatically update to the latest version."
