Automobilista 2

Make an Automobilista 2 server private for a league session

Set the Server Password in Startup before inviting drivers. That value is written into server.cfg when the server starts. A private league password should not be reused as a panel account password.

File locations used below — relative to the server root
server.cfg

Make the change

  1. Schedule the change between races so drivers are not disconnected during a session.
  2. Stop the server and record the existing Server Name and Max Players.
  3. Enter a new Server Password in Startup and save it.
  4. Start the server and ask one driver to reconnect with the new password.
  5. Check that the old password is rejected before sharing the new one with the league.

Controls used in this task
Panel fieldWhat to keep in mind
Server NameThe name players see when looking for the session. Use a distinctive name so it is easy to distinguish from other servers. Up to 100 characters.
Server PasswordThe password for players joining the game. Do not reuse your panel account password. Up to 32 characters.
Max PlayersControls how many players the game accepts at once. This is a game setting; the hosting plan’s player estimate is a sizing suggestion.

Check the result

If the previous password still works, verify that the driver joined the correct session and that the server restarted. A browser favorite may point at a different instance with a similar name.
