We have succeeded in getting DTR2 to work online again (without cars flying through the air). All it took was to download RivaTuner statistics Server and lock the frame rate of dtr2 to 120 and that stops the cars from flying through the air at the start. If you need help doing so just let me know.

With this, I decided to why not put the Fast 10's back up! Check them out at: teamvlr.com/index.php/vlr-fast-10s

Our servers are still up if you want to run the fast tens, at 74.91.122.77:32263 and 32264!

DTR2 is working online again!!! 1 year 10 months ago #75340

Wild! I just went back down the rabbit hole of installing it, rounding up tracks and stuff, getting a handfull of offline series going and messin with stuff again. My history with DTR2 goes back to like 2005 when I started making skins for it. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside seeing someone talk about it. Also plan on dipping in to making a track or 2 just for kicks since I never dove in that deep back in the day but now I make mods and tracks etc for Beamng so this should be doable XD XD

Ya I didn't imagine there was much of an actual online racing community anymore so that's the avenue I was going for now as well. I have rounded up a hand full of working series from the list of links as well as a few that I sort of fixed or swapped tracks for diff versions etc. MANNNN are some of the later tracks that were made after I fell out of touch with DTR2 FAR better than I remember! I was mind blown at how far it came along! I'm just building a collection of cars, tracks, series, etc. and have begun to make a few series as well and round up editing tools. I have a lot of things to catch up on as far as editing stuff goes for cars and tracks but I'm a tinkerer so it's interesting to me lol.

Lemme know! Id be down to test out online racing with some of this sick track and car work that was done far after I lost touch with DTR2 back when. So far I been like a kid in a candy store loading um my DTR2 with every track car etc I can find, especially the newer stuff! I was mindblown on some of these tracks when I loaded in to them!

Hi Y'all.. and Gidday. Been a while and can I say, well done Shock for bringing this game back to life. Will look forward to any progress rather than the DB and DH postings..cool. Its 20 plus years for DTR2 so bring it on. Love to see all these new tracks too. .... Ooh and, not to be fully counted on, but.....

We have a server up at 74.91.122.77:32263

Also if you want to play online replace your exe file with the attached one and it should hopefully work!

so , i was able to connect to the server with my old comp ...

logged off went to find my controller , opened dtr2 again and cant connect to the ip

i dl'd the new file and cant connect to the ip thru that either,

and the new dl file crashed when i tried to run it in single player

its been a few (9) years since ive messed around with this stuff , a little rusty is an understatement

Oh I see, it looks like 32263 crashed but I just put it back up. Hopefully it will let you race now then. Be awesome to see you online.

If you're still having issues and on widows 8 or 10, maybe 11. Try turning off Specular textures and / or Environment Mapping in advanced video. It seems to be working for my high end pc now but my older installs didn't work with 1 or both of them.

Yes. I haven't gotten to test in game yet, but they are loading into the lobby. That's theoretically the hard part. I have them coded to fill empty slots and release the slots for players. It's requiring a completely custom server client. A lot of work to go but there was no way this was possible when the game came out.

I know its hard to see, but in the mirror there is an upside down car. That.. is a spawned in bot. With networking AND materialization complete. I'd say the project is only 10% done, but this proves its possible. I had to build a new custom server from scratch and the dtr2 files are extremely customized to do this.
