Yeah, restarting rF2 is always a good first step of troubleshooting such matters.

Sorry but I am confused. I got the same error as another guy (2nd Post). I then read Coutie post but the cars I need dont show up in content Manager except the BMW and that will not instal.
Are you running the RC?

YOU only want it to partially install, an orange checkmark. Try un-installing and re-installing.
After having figured out which content I store content I needed to download, it all worked very well. Only issue I had was the very slow fuel adjustment in the Setup-Screen, like mentioned here before.
The only other things that caught my eye were
1. the fact that when installing said content, there was no information shown in the content manager while installing. After having pressed the install items button, the buttons just greyed out, and I wasn't able to press anything else, unsure of what was happening in the background. I can imagine this to be confusing for someone less known with rf2. See below.
2. When trying to select unowned content in the selection tab before entering the server, I was correctly guided to the store page. When doing the same while being in the server in the select car tab, I could press the store icon, but nothing happened. I see how one could not go into the store via the server, but maybe remove the icon and instead add info behind they greyed out, unowned content? See below.
For the rest, I'm very grateful for the fact that later we can join servers without owning all the cars. It'll fill those multiplayer servers up nicely I think.

This is'nt just related to the RC server, its an issue thats still going on with any server but, thought it worth mentioning. We are still getting incorrect player numbers when looking at servers in the multiplayer list. i.e. S397 RC Fun server today says its full with 31 one players, yet you go in and there are two of you.

I saw that as well this morning although I could not get in
Works for me, after installing all the content (which the game didn't show it was doing, I could see steam downloading rF2 content) I restarted the game and game updated itself. In the menu I could see cars which I didn't own, with sort of a "store" icon and greyed out. I drove whole one race with someone in radicals. I have the GT3 content too and nothing more (for this server). Later someone joined in with cars I don't have (BTCC) and I could see him and it worked fine too. Can't wait to test it out online on multi class.

ditto, the server list displayed 31/31 drivers but once at the track only 3 or 4 were there.

My experience was smooth, but I agree with what the others already reported. After downloading the contents, there are certain moments where the game seems to be doing nothing, just to start the installation or update soon after.
When content is installing, you can select additional cars/tracks, but they won't be installed as the install button is not available, so one might thing he installed them, while it's not the case.
A part for that, I was able to connect to the server even just after the last car was downloaded, no need to restart the sim. Even after a reboot, the connection went fine and I was able to race (doing too much damage, but that's a different story
).

First time in didn't have any cars I didn't own but everything ran smooth.
Later on one of them changed to the IR-18 which I don't own, and everything continued to work fine.

I was on the server last night. While driving the Radical SR3 a couple of the other cars appeared a yellow boxes while racing. But they were fine watching the replay. The highlighted car was one of the ones showing as a yellow box. It also happened earlier while driving the EX-Zero but I was unable to see the tag as it was too far away. Thanks.

Yes. I had this issue. It started to download the content. So I left it alone and went for a cup of tea. When I got back it looked like it had finished but the game still said all the content was missing. Next time I loaded steam client the rest of the missing downloads then started. After that it worked fine.

This is normal for cars that join while you're driving, nothing to worry about.
Yes I had this issue too. It said 33 of 33 drivers and would not let me join for the first 2 clicks. But did let me in on the 3rd try and there were only 5 drivers online. Good fun when I did get in. Great fun with the superfast Ex-Zero blasting past everyone. Did a 10 lap race and lapped everyone at least once.
