AMS2 Dedicated Server Tool / SteamCMD Support

found that ports somewhere.With that settings i got it working

pCARS DS ports
TCP: 8766,27015-27030,27036-27037
UDP: 4380,8766,27000-27031,27036

 

Well, I got:
steamPort : 8766
hostPort : 27015
queryPort : 27016
So should be good no? Thx, Steve

 

It works for me with those three.

 

did you set portforwarding in your router? you must open the ports in your router for tcp and udp connections

 

The server is in a DMZ aka all ports open so if I allow it in windows defender. It should be no problem. I'm running a bunch of ACC servers too so... weird.

 

should not be but you wrote

So if the DS is not on the same PC ( local host ) like the game its a problem with your router.
If its on the same PC, you should check Defender Firewall and/or the ip address for the NIC were the config points to ( bindIP : )
You could simply turn off your Defender firewall for a short time to test.

 

The DS is not on the same PC but on a dedicated computer in a DMZ or a screened subnetwork. Problem is that I don't have a way to check if the server is there outside my own network. Or I have to install a vpn on my gaming computer or something. So out of curiosity if you use the Open Port Check Tool - Test Port Forwarding on Your Router tool... does it say open for you if the Dedicated Server is running?

 

Was looking at List of TCP and UDP port numbers - Wikipedia and 27000-27015 is the Steam (game client traffic). Does the DS need a steam client for it to work properly or something like that maybe?

 

DS is connecting to steam. Yes. It is a steamclient. No need to install steam.
I tried the port checker tool and all ports i forwarded are shown as closed too.
Accept the http port. Seems the port checker tries only some protocols. When getting no response, it shows "closed" . My ports are definitely open.

The ports i posted above are from there
Setup a port forward in your router to allow incoming connections for multiplayer games, VOIP, DVR, and security cameras.
After opening all the tcp and udp ports by hand my DS was reachable.
Before also only inhouse

 

I can't seem to figure this out. I want to host multiple sessions on the same server. The second instance starts without problems, but only the first one appears in the server list. I don't have previous PCARS experience, so I'm in the dark here.

 

i hope you made a copy of the server folder first. you cannot start the same exe twice.
did you change name and query and host ports to other adresses . e.g. 27017 & 27018
also the http port. e.g. 9001.
and you must also open the router for this ports

 

Yeah, two separate folders/instances with different names and port configurations, the only thing I haven't changed is the steamPort value, because I thought that probably should be the same.

 

i tried it before i wrote and it was working.
Firewall popped up the first time i started the 2nd server. Accepted and that was all.
steamport is ok. must be same for all

 

Damn, it was the firewall config, I accidentally mapped all ports to the same .exe. Thanks for the help!

 

delete I fixed it, was a port issue

 

PIT_SPEED_LIMITER doesn't work on our server or I don't know how it works.

Cars automatically exit and enter the pit, with no chance of getting a speeding error. Adding or removing PIT_SPEED_LIMITER in "flags" of sms_rotate does nothing for me.

Am I doing something wrong or is this option still not working?

 

did you set manual pitstops in server cfg. Its an additional setting, not included in the original config

- - - - - - - -
// Visual only damage
"DamageType" : 1,

// enable manual pitstops
"ManualPitStops" : 1,

// No tire wear.
"TireWearType" : 8,

- - - - - - - - -

 

Seems like you need to instruct windows defender about the ports.(on top of what popped up from the firewall the first time u start it) Not entirely sure what I did but it's working now

 

Where do I find the track codes?

 

read the config file. Inside you'll find the link to it
