After some more experimenting, I still can’t get the GTR2 dedicated server to work properly, and there aren’t even any useful logs or error messages. I’ve opened up the necessary ports, I’ve tried with the firewall off, with and without admin rights, installed to a separate directory, using a different profile name… Argh!

Oddly enough though, RACE 07’s dedicated server works just fine, and it’s pretty much the same engine behind it. It’s the one less likely to be preferred by other sim racers I might be talking to, though. I still have to try rFactor, though…
