This problem is a rather strange one. I can open a dedicated server using the Launcher application (old-ui) by clicking on the host button and go through the process of it. After Load Track the server is suuccessfully registered to the list of servers and I and also guys from the Internet can join it with no problems at all. However, if i create a shortcut of the Bin64/rFactor2 Dedicated.exe and put the +path +profile=player2 I can open the server and after I press the Load Track button the server never registers to the list with the other available servers. This happens also with the use of new-ui (using the shortcut method). I checked ports and at both occasion they are opened. I checked even disable Firewall both from OS perspective and Router perspective and still no luck. I netstat the sessions and you can take a look below. I don't know but I think the problem is that the Launcher passes something to the Dedicated during start-up and it works OK whereas if I just use the Dedicated.exe then it can't register to matchmaking. Any Ideas?

Today i tried to direct connect to the server and it works. So for some reason it won't broadcast and announce itself to the server list but the server can take direct connect using shortcuts like: Launcher shortcut with this at the target "E:\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Launcher\Launch rFactor.exe" +multiplayer +connect ip: port +password thepassword Or Bin64\rFactor2.exe shortcut with this at the target "E:\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Bin64\rFactor2.exe" +multiplayer +connect ip: port +password thepassword
