Hey, I'd love to, but rfactor dedicated server requires directx, doh. Sadly most good server running windows 2003 doesn't even have direct3d enable, or the video chip driver doesn't support direct3d. Even tho i have tried the rfactor dedicated server on a box that has direct3d the rfactor dedicated server crash when loading the track with some texture issue. When those developper will start to create simple dedicated application. Damn even old Papy sim use a GDI generic driver for is dedicated server. Rfactor is pretty much the same thing has Nascar thunder is. Damn, even Nascar thunder requires a sound card to lunch the dedicated application, is that stupid enough for you? If someone has a email directly to a developper at rfactor, please let me know @[email hidden] EL www.racingservers.com "buster" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Bhgld.9807$[email hidden]... > PLEASE!!!!!!!

Ok, I tried to host on two different servers. The first(winXP) gave an error in appver 0.6.5.0 This error was immediate, as soon as tried to run it. The second server(win2k) gave a dialog box:"which game database to use". I accepted the default and hit config. Got the dialog about which race, # of players, etc. Looked at the options on the next page, removed a few of the 'helps', clicked on finish. "error loading texture for material CEMZ" Got a couple more similar errors as well. I assume that means my video card isn't strong enough? Still don't know why it didn't work on the other one(radeon7500 vidcard). Oh well...I *tried*...

Can you run FirewallTest.exe (In main rFactor folder)? I believe it tells you what ports (UDP + TCP) it wants.. GP

It tells me TCP 34448 and UDP 34398. It passes the firewall test after opening up these ports but now I can't host because the old Voodoo 3 card in my server isn't DX8.1 compatible. Oh well, :/ , Thanks anyway GP "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
