    sorry, it's still not possible for me (again) to play rFactor2 multiplayer LAN games :(.
    I've set "HTTP Server Port":64296, "Simulation Port":54297, (worked a few month ago)
    Is it possible to run dedicated server and rfactor2 (and play) on the same machine?

    I tried nearly everything (rFactor2 1.1133)
    (closing steam, starting dedicated server, start steam, start rFactor2 is inconvenient and useless)
    (each individual programm kills the other without further notice..)

    I start dedicated with Startparameter
    "C:\steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Bin64\rFactor2 dedicated.exe" +path="C:\steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\")

    Even, if i manage to start the dedicated server, without error log, then its not showing up on other PC,
    (that was working a few Month ago).

    it's very annoying :(
    Does anybody have some usefull hints for playing multiplayer?
    Thanks in advance :)

    deactivated matching: it only generates the status "not Broadcasting"
    ("Steam Matchmaking Broadcast":false,)

    @Leonardo1962 For me it still works with the Server and Game on the same Machine, when i use a "LAN" Shortcut.
    Create a Shortcut to the ..\rFactor 2\Launcher\Launch rFactor.exe, righclick on it, select Properties and use the following Entries

    In the Field "Target":
    "G:\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Launcher\Launch rFactor.exe" +multiplayer +connect="127.0.0.1:64297" +password XXXXXX
    +password.... can be removed, if the Server has none and you have to adapt the Path and Port (ONLY the Port!) to your Machine/Setting

    In the Field "execute in":
    "G:\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Launcher"
    You again have to adapt the Path.

    Then doubleclick on that Shortcut to join your Server.
