Some info about how the Multiplayer works.

Yep, we'll try to get on it as soon as the files are released.  Nothing showing yet in the Steam Tools list for AC, so if people could keep an eye out for it and let us know when they see it please!

From Twitter (via AC Support Forum):

@KunosStefano Assuming (I know) that MP works today, will we be able to host own lobby?

@oooRickyBobby yes, the dedicated server application will be released with the update

I have to say I am already disappointed.  It looks from the Multi Player PDF brief they released it will be the same crap they had for netkar.  Basically you will have to exit and rejoin to do anything.  Well, hopefully they got the net code right.  I really had hoped they might be able to do it like LFS.  But the whole fact the UI and game are separate made me sceptical about it since the Alpha release.

They tweet that there will be no release today.

Single player has started to crash now. :doh:

You think they employed Scavier to sort their scheduling?

Seriously though, it doesn't look to promising as Seany says looks like a glammed up version of the netkar setup, restart the server every time you want to change car or track :sad:

Looks like the Multiplayer patch has gone for a walk and a stiff drink down the pub rather than coming out to play.  Gaa, and I've been looking forward all week.  Pft.

Me too Deetz, sadly this is sounding more like the Kunos we know. Genious, but he is coding like my self. Terribly!

I'm completely fine with Kunos (you know, **** just happens...). As long as it doesn't take 5 years to get the MP released

I've given up on the daily look to see if it is there.   Someone give me a prod when it is seen in the wild please and we'll go download and install it to get a dMw server up and running.

Best source of info I've found is one of the devs twitter account : https://twitter.com/KunosStefano/with_replies

Edit: More than 100 servers up already

How to setup a dedicated server

- Go to your AC installation folder (Steam -> browse local content) and get the following files and folders and upload them to your server:

acServer.exe
folder "server"

- use acServerLauncher.exe on your own pc to easily generate your server configuration
- the wizard will write into the following ini files that you can also manually edit:

server/cfg/server_cfg.ini
server/cfg/entry_list.ini

- leave the entry list blank for now
- make sure you put some booking time

- Open firewalls on the udp/tcp ports on your servers that you wrote in the server_cfg.ini
- run acServer.exe on your server


Here's an example of well formed server_cfg.ini, with just a qualify and a race session

SLEEP_TIME=1
REGISTER_TO_LOBBY=1

[BOOK]

[QUALIFY]
