Automobilista 2 V1.2.3.0 RELEASED - Now updated to V1.2.3.1

Ah ok i understand, yeah with a unstable home connection it would be worse.

When you updated the server you replaced the server.cfg file with the old one? Not just modified the new one? If the last thing is the case then it might be some setting in the config which is bugging.

I dont know if you have looked at a Project Cars 2 forum or anything, since i believe the dedicated server has not changed much except for the name in the webconfig, could be users from Project Cars 2 experienced some of the same problems.

 

Looking again at the early tests I made with this instance (2vcpu/4gb), it should be more than enough, we ran sessions with 25-27 players using on peak ~85% of CPU and ~80% of RAM usage.
But, every time we updated the server starts to happen weird stuff, like this current issue or random disconnections, etc.
On Sunday, before this update, we had on the same machine/software a event with +25 players without any issues

About the cloud/hardware specs for hosting a game server, just for comparison, we recently tested running a ACC server on a smaller T3 instance without issues.. Probably is something on the software side, or maybe configs, some optmization, etc..

 

Agreed, to your credit where its due
inc & esp

I would add Also, a good listener and has a capacity to prevent burning of bridges.

 

Yes, you are right. I only used the old one after updating with the "UpdateRelease.bat" included on the original post about DedicatedServer: AMS2 Dedicated Server Tool / SteamCMD

I think its a good idea to try a clean install, only modifying the new files.

About PCars2 forums, I have looked only when I installed the server for the first time, searching about configs and LUA scripts, things like that.. But, maybe I should give another try.

 

Hi all
Have I missed anything about road maps ?
Are there going to be any more ?
Cheers

 

Yeah the reason i asked about the config file is maybe something changed to the max clients allowed which is at the top of the file.

You could also try some tests if u have the possibility and the people to try set that to max 22, test it, then set to 24, test it, that way you can maybe pinpoint an exact number where things go wrong

 

Congratulations @CrimsonEminence ! I actually didn't know you were employed in an official capacity, but that explains how you know so much stuff about the game, lol. That's sweet! Now you can really push my "release the McLaren MP4/4 right now" agenda (just kidding y'all)

 

Ahh about that configuration, we set it to 32 max members. I think there is a comment on the configuration file saying that 32 is the limit of the client side (game), but the server theorically goes up to 64.

 

Yeah true, and in the webconfig at the opponents settings page you also set it to 32? Maybe try as i suggested to set it to 22 then do a testrun, if it works well, try 24 etc, etc

 

Yeah, set it to 32 too (or 30 depending on which track was chosen)

Okay, I will try that too!

 

Like a '69 Fiat 500...(with double tip Trottle in the middle)

 

Hmmmmmm, I use 100% but after hitting the wall at turn one at BrandsHatch with the C3, just a light bent bumper and hood.
Telemetry says the impact was with -8.5G!
After crash the car felt the same as before, strange.
Shouldn't be 100 % some kind of real?

 

Yes, great atmosphere at Adelaide 88 now!

 

Simple rule: “Before you speak or write ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, is kind, is necessary, is helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say or write should be left unsaid or unwritten.” - Bernard Meltzer. And to this I've added, am I saying or writing it in the appropriate place. Bold added to quote for context.

It's not hard for me to be kind and helpful but truth and necessary I often find more difficult. So while I type a lot of posts I rarely end up clicking 'Post'.

 

Don’t know what else to say!! This is better than ever. Just had the best race ever.
(If there’s only rating system in place it’d very hard to have any other sim. installed )

 

A race against ai or online?

 

Yes, it is sorely lacking and the reason I haven't fired up AMS2 in several months. I keep checking to see if they finally added the promised ranking system, but it seems multiplayer is not a priority. Pretty, shiny things and adding more empty classes seem to be more important than fixing long standing bugs and a ranking system. I'll keep checking back, I have an investment in this product, but right now there is nothing in this sim that isn't done better in other sims.
