    Hi

    I´ve tested to use one packages folder for 2 dedicated server instances. It worked very well so far.
    I´ve made 3 rfactor2 installations on one server. One rfactor2 instance run with his own package folder and the other 2 instances use together a Packages folder.
    The ModManagers from the servers are using this folder. So I checked whether everything is installed on every server-check. Afterwords I made a new mod with the mas editor and installed them on each server.
    So I started one of the server and the server is shown in the matchmaker and it´s blue.
    I tried to connect to but after downloading the mod it didn´t display that the mod is installed and it happend nothing I stayed at the matchmaker and the server stayed blue.
    I looked at the ModManager on the Client side and the mod is there and installed but if I try to connect to the server, rfactor2 is downloading the mod and afterwords the server stays blue.

    Do I something wrong or isn´t it possible at the moment to use one package folder for several dedicated server instances?

    It's some time ago that i've looked after the servers for our community. I also had 3 installations running. What i figured out was, that the vmod has to be existant in the default Packages-folder of the installation where it is installed. Otherwise the download/get Mod feature didn't work correctly.
    Maybe that can be the reason, i don't know if something has changed since then.

    Or maybe another Bug....look HERE

    Content can be installed from a common folder. Even an other disk.

    But the Vmod has to be in the packages folder from each separate install.
    And has to be installed from that folder.
