If you have trouble finding UK Dirt Servers......

[thebagoo]

Hi,

 

As always, be extra careful if you don't know what you're doing / make a copy of the original file before following this guide

 

If you're having trouble messing about trying to find UK Dirt Servers instead of racing, you can always edit your bookmark file. Since this has affected me/some others, perhaps this would be a useful thing to share.

 

The bookmark file is normally located at:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\rFactor\UserData\<your user name>\bookmarks.xml

 

or

 

C:\Program Files\rFactor\UserData\<your user name>\bookmarks.xml

 

If you edit this file, it could be empty or partially populated with some XML guff. If you wish to have bookmarks for the servers, paste this into it (replacing everything else) and save it. There may be some issues with Windows 7 "security" so you may have to copy the bookmark file to your desktop, then edit/paste, then save, then copy it back again.

When you click "join", then choose the "friends list" tab, you should see the servers listed. Note that it still sometimes requires a refresh to find the servers....

 

Hope this helps.
