Ricky Davies 326 Report post Posted August 23, 2014 Do you mean how to create an online server? (host)?. CHEERS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darin Gangi 1,074 Report post Posted August 23, 2014 There's a lot to it actually.. You need to have a dedicated server for starters. It's not like on iRacing where they handle mostly everything and you just create it and pay for hosted sessions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky Davies 326 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 Yep, you really need a separate computer or a laptop to use as a server at the moment there are not server companies that are selling servers like there are for rfactor so renting is out the question. You will need to open several ports (port forwarding),and run the dedi.exe. Something i know nothing about. CHEERS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcosfisica 1 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 once you have the dedicated server: 1) install GSC but do not open it. you don´t need a license for the server. you will not activate the GSC. just download the game and install it. 2) after the install process, go to the GSC main folder on drive C and open the "GSC Dedicated" 3) after the last step, "load track", your server is online and should be in the GSC lobby to the dedicated server, you can use the Amazon Web Services. check it out here: http://aws.amazon.com the first year it´s free. cheers!

hotpup 1 Report post Posted September 11, 2014 The easiest way to do it is to rent a VPS. VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVER. (Just Google it). Tell the service provider what you want to run and they do it for you. You then run it from remote desktop. Very simple and won't cost an arm and a leg. For a good one in the USA about $35 a month.

Avenga76 835 Report post Posted September 11, 2014 I ran a little server on my laptop for some friends to race on and it is very simple. GSC is such an old engine that it takes no CPU power what so ever. My little laptop was running at 0-1% CPU load. There is no need to host a server or anything. It will run on literally anything. You can even run it on the same PC as you are racing on with zero impact on the system. Network utilization is next to nothing also. The game maxes out at 8mbps up and down so a lot of people have internet faster than that. I have 40mbps/10mbps so you don't need any faster than that. Firewall config is easy, it is just three ports that you need to NAT through on your firewall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millen 6 Report post Posted September 25, 2014 Hey guys, sorry to take this thread off topic a bit, but today I was forced to do a fresh install of windows (long story), and unfortunately I can't remember how I had my firewall configured to run the GSC server I had going. Was working fine before Windows re-install, but now when I try to join from my other PC, I get a 'Join Timed Out' message. I have the 3 ports listed in the FAQ forwarded in my router still, but I am guessing I need them set up in my firewall too? I seriously can't remember how I did it last time... Any chance you could post the settings you have, or a screenshot of them, Avenga? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avenga76 835 Report post Posted September 25, 2014 I use a hardware firewall and I am port forwarding tcp:34747 udp:34597 and udp:34697 I don't use the windows firewall because this is the only computer on this network (I have everything in different VLAN's and access is controlled by a hardware firewall) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
