AMS2 Dedicated Server Tool / SteamCMD Support

When you say the laptime isn't shown in the results file, does it totally not show or is it shown as invalid whilst ingame it shows as being valid?

I do know that the dedi can detect different tracklimits compared to what's shown ingame.

We've been using JustRace and their servermanager,which i believe generates a modified results file to prevent issues with the results/laptimes.

 

Hi stealth,

I applied port forwarding to GPBikes and Assetta Corsa and they both work.
Not sure what AMS2 is demanding to be done differently?

 

The times (and therefore the pilot) are not present in the "sms_stats_data.json" file generated by the server. I can't find a reason for this; it's random, because sometimes the pilot is present but not all the times it has recorded are included. This only started appearing in mid-December; before that, there were no problems like this for four years.

 

Ok, that's strange, maybe @gian can tell more about this, or investigate the issue, possibly a recent update caused this

 

Has anyone noticed that the DS doesn't record stats for people that disconnect mid race for whatever reason? For some reason I thought this was fixed last year. Maybe I'm wrong.
If you look in the sms_stats.json file, it's like they were never there. It would be nice if the DS kept a record of folks that disconnected mid race in the results file.
@Dave Stephenson if possible, can this feature be implemented in a future update please?

 

For us, the DED is not showing the race at all! Last 2 races sms_stats_data.json has P1 and Q but no race ..It was working ok for years but now this random "no race results" issue is showing up ..

 

New issues on our servers , others are in this case?

 

@gian , where is saved the online log file ?

 

Thanks, the access path isn't exactly the same on a dedicated server, but I found it.
....Documents\Automobilista 2 - Dedicated Server\dbgSession

 

Thanks for having a look, Its strange for sure. One time, the results only had one driver: me! lol.
We rent a ded from Emperor servers and have been using it for years now without many issues.
One thing I have been doing is advancing the server from P to Q & R using "Advance session" tab they offer with their software.

The 2 times I had issues with the results, I used my 'Android pad' on the server's site 'control panel' to advance the sessions. It all worked as it should, but no race results

The last race we had, the results worked properly. The difference was I alt/tabbed from my game pc to the emperor control panel to use the advance featuere. Don't know if thats anything, as it's still just making calls to the API ?

Anyway It could be something on my end, throwing the server off?..
I was not the HOST either, but I have been in the past, and I was when it only had me, the one driver in the results where we had 13 drivers ...
Emperor offers logs so Next time I will try and grab the log files..

 

Thx Dave for the detailed explanation!

 

Hello,
I could use some help with the linux server. Currently, I am hosting a league with dedicated AC servers on headless linux machines and I am evaluating how to include AM2 into our league races.

I installed "AMS2 - Dedicated Server" on my linux machine with the normal Steam client and try following the UserGuide.pdf. It says I can use steamcmd, or executing the linux binary (which I prefer because I want to run the sever on dedicated machines with minimal software installation),

Unfortunately, the "DedicatedServerCmd.elf" file does not exist on my disk - there is only "DedicatedServerCmd.exe". I already tried deleting everything and verifying the Steam installation.

Is this an known issue? Do you think running AM2 on a dedicated headless linux machine for league will work (as I do now with AC)?

Thanks, Thomas

 

Yep, it works.

 

Hi - Just wanted to share a bash script I made to help automate the installation of AMS2 Dedicated Server on Debian/Ubuntu Linux and wine which I've also used to setup AWS servers with a few years ago. Most of it would still be valid and I still host some open lobby servers with using my DRB lua addons.
Side note: I have also recently migrated to Linux (Mint) for gaming and have had to refresh my linux skills somehwat but have everything wotking now for AMS2 including Moza Wheel (BoxFlat app), Simhub, Crewchief running in wine using shared memory remappers and opentrack running in the same proton runtime as AMS2 so it can communicate my head movements back to the game easily.
Anyway here is the file...change file extension to .sh to run.
