PC2 Dedicated servers supported?

The first edition of pCars had a bit of strange way to run dedi servers. Any improvement in this area?

Yes, in some detail. We've written a very detailed but easy to use admin control system around it also.

Sneak peek...

Thanks for sharing. With regards to "Rules & Regulation" are these warnings and penalties that a server admin can throw at users as well via either commands or buttons?

No. We don't want a rogue 'admin' being able to destroy a person's rating... I think that would be a very bad thing. It's all automated. We've been balancing this for 18 months now.

I may hope that in a private league situation any kind of global rating is disabled or at least is optional?

A live steward should be able to judge an incident and decide for an immediate penalty such as a S&G, drivethrough, black flag etc.

Thanks for the clear advice. We've went a different direction. Cheers!

Just a small QA point the top image has a typo - COLLISSIONS should be COLLISIONS

That looks like a very good, clear and comprehensive server console, I wish another certain game had one as good.

The "safety rating" will be great for online open servers. These drivers who purposely crash others will not have a place to race anymore unless they behave themselves to better their rating!!
