    Hi there,
    I recently updated rFactor 2 to the steam version, and when trying to connect to an online server via the new launcher It briefly says 'Downloading xxx.xx' then the progress bar fills to 100% with a message saying "unknown error" with no further information, and doesn't connect. Tried with a few servers in my server list, and all offered up the same unhelpful message. Any ideas what is going on? Thank you.

    It appears to be when retrieving the RFMOD file.

    Okay, solved it on my own. I have my packages stored on a NAS on the network, and the share is mapped to a network drive which I open directly in rF. Apparently if that drive is selected it packs a sad and won't download anything (Despite my sim having read and write access to the network share.) Hope this helps others!
