Guys, anyone know how to make sure a dedicated server doesn't automatically
boot everyone out one minute after a race?

Thanks!

Actually, it doens't "boot" you,, everyone is just taken back to the setup
screen, right? If it is kicking players out then you have a problem.

To change the time that the server stays "at the track" go into your
dedicated players "player.ini" file, in the [Server] section and change the
"auto_leave_timeout=" line to the time of your choice. The number there is
representative of seconds. I set mine to 300 and sure enough, it takes five
minutes now.

I meant to say, "go into your dedicated server's player.ini file", not
dedicated players, LOL.

in the player.ini file for your server, add this linre to the indicated
section:

[SERVER]
auto_leave_timeout=600 ; # of SECONDS to wait before shutting server
down after race

The setting shown above allows 10 minutes after the race is over.
