Server maintenance and Updates

As I am working on getting the rF2 and Teamspaek servers moved
over to the new box you will notice that sometimes the rF2 and
TS servers will be down. Fear not this is probably nothing more
than me trying to get the services running on the new machine.
Just and FYI.

While I work on switching over to the new Box Simon has
graciously put up a server for you gentlemen to practice and
compare times on.

Thanks Simon!
I'm guessing that the track looks really good in DX11 at night?

Currently I have moved the TS server over to the new box. I have
also moved all rF2 related software and configs over to the new
box. I have setup all the necessary Firewall and router changes.
The server should be visible on the steam matchmaker in the
launcher, but is not. It should be visible to liveracers but is
not. It is visible in the list of rF2 servers, but not though
steam.

Search by Server name and type in VRC. You will find our
official server. I am having issues getting the two Steam ports
to open to the internet. This I believe is the cause for the
server not appearing to the steam matchmaker. I will continue to
work on this when I get home. It is maddening. I recall having
issues like this the first time I setup the server. I remember
it suddenly just started working. I dont know why but I went
with it and had no further issues from then on.
Oh well. We will keep on keeping on I suppose.

Man, sorry it is such a hassle to get this to work. Wish I knew
more about this stuff. I googled setting up a RF2 server
through Steam the other night and couldn't believe what a
convoluted Cluster Bang it all is.
I googled "opening steam port forwarding" just now and I suspect
you have too... or some variation either the last time or this
time and waded through the search results trying to find a
specific answer.
Appreciate your effort Chad, don't stress on it though. And
good luck.

It really should be as simple as installing the rF2 server and
copying over the player folder. It contains all the port
forwarding information in the Multiplayer.json. Then simply
forward the ports to the new servers IP. I mean seriously that
is how simple it should be... I'll get it soon enough. Just have
to keep plugging away at it.

So for the time being I am putting up the server on the old box
until I can get a server running properly on the new box.
Teamspeak is on new box.

I used steam CMD Ui app version did not copy player folder from
old pc though
when i ran it got windows asking if i wanted to let it have net
access.
once i got 1 server running i used Server manager to create the
2 and and 3rd server
maybe something in player file wrong that copied over.
did you change the ip on router for new one or use same ip as
old PC ?
