Set of instructions were left by Jeremy for the other guys this morning after he finished what he could do. I don't think will require a new build, if I understand, it is all MM changes.

Looks like MM is working again for me... leaves me with 1 problem, still having the same error with the vmods failing to download. keep getting: MOD download failed. (added a screen of it)
any solutions, other then downloading and manually installing the vmods, beeing looked at?
 
I don't quite understand why some are not having the MM issue and others are. I have tried numerous times getting to MP and it CTD everytime. This actually concerns me because the MP part of rF2 is whats important to me.

matchmaker is crashing on me - repeatedly- .....also: the buttons for get mod or join are sometimes not available- ie: grayed out when they should be lit up for mods i already have - for instance i was racing on a server , left , came back and found the button grayed out for joining ...amongst these problems i have been able to join some servers and things seems ok once connected

Cookie, try hitting the MM "Refresh" when this happens. That seems to jump start things for me

everybody can customize rF2 more than any other simulation

The auto HDR and steering minimum torque thing are awesome improvements, however, probably my 2 favorite features mentioned in the build notes are the following:

- Optional new HDV [SUSPENSION] line - "ModelWheelsIncludeAllTireMass=1" improves accounting for tire mass and inertia. - Obviously this must coincide with actually adding the tire ring mass and inertia to the wheels in the chassis.ini file. In addition to more accurately simulating the tire ring, this also facilitates the removal of SpinInertia and SpinInertiaAI from the HDV.

- A related change (to the above build change) is the optional removal of TemporaryRingMassInertia from the TGM file – the tire now dynamically changes inertia depending on current shape (a new variable "MassInertiaMultiplier" can also be included if the physically calculated values are not satisfactory for some reason).

- Created some options for the suspension deformation code that allows more generic connections like brake lines.

How come after 19 pages noone has mentioned these yet?

Because I don't understand it. :)

Can you explain what these features do?
 
I just got the vmod downloading working again(btw skins weren´t downloading when I came on a server either). First tried disabling my bitdefender internet security that didnt help, but a complete uninstall of bitdefender did the trick!
not to keen on having no security running so would be great if it could be solved, never had any issues before with bitdefender & rFactor2 (or any other program)
Still having greyed out join buttons, also the ISI ones but hope that will also be solved soon.

The two servers with track names that had accent characters are either offline or have been switched to different tracks. That is why the MM works again. As for GetMod not working. For me, as long as I get a "MOD" button it works. Normally if you get a download failed it is because you already have the rfmod in your packages folder and it will not overwrite it for obvious reasons. Check in your Packages folder to make sure you don't already have the file... if so, delete it or move it somewhere else and try joining again.

Try the MM right now. It should be back to normal. Assuming no one has started up another server with a unicode track name.
 
LOL there's an ISI test server up running B500 and the series name saturday29022104, someone should tell them this isn't a leap year. :)

vmods aren´t already in the packages folder, the most not downloading are ones with spaces in the names but still getting error whith downloading skins whike on a server.

Do you already have the mod in your packages folder, but not installed? See known issues.txt.

AFAIK there's two reasons for this.
1. As I said above, having the mod, but not installed. Delete the file (whether it is the previous one with a space in or not) and try again.
2. The host having a space in the rfmod filename (which we did, I uninstalled them, renamed them, installed them), this is mentioned now in the first post.

Right after I last posted, Jonathon emailed to say he had made some changes, the workaround might actually be in-place. Not seeing any NEW mm issue reports yet...

I think in 2104 it actually is a leap year. ;) This person merely travelled into the future.

That is good news. Maybe I will host a server with the bad track just to be sure... :P

Edit: Wahoo!!! It's fixed. I just hosted a server called "MM Crash Test" using the culprit track and the MM didn't crash. Nice work ISI!

Edit2: I also see this test server "~z~". ;)

Edit3: The Join/MOD button is grayed out on ALL servers for me now.

Edit4: Nevermind... It's working now.
