Where to race NR2003 online?

[Carbon27]

I know that there are different ways to play NR2003 online. I don't know what I need. I don't want Tunngle, but I would like something that is free. I believe you can still do a direct connection to someone else, but I may be wrong. What are the best ways of playing online?

I feel kinda stupid writing this, but I can't seem to figure it out and have looked for answers.

Thanks!

1-If someone has the correct ports open on their router, you can connect to their IP.

2-You can play using the software SMS Lobby.

What router/ISP do you have. I might be able to open your ports for you via TeamViewer.

Thank you Challenger.

I tried SMS Lobby once, it didn't work. I downloaded it again, it worked better but wouldn't connect after the game launched. I have bad internet, but I can at least connect to servers on other games.

Are there any IPs open?

EDIT: So, I realized I left had my roof flap line turned to 0. I changed it to 1. I thought that would fix it and it didn't. Then I redownloaded the tracks using SMS Lobby to get the same exact edits that the server is using (If it was using any) and this time it said that it was saying it timed out, not the usual could not connect.

I will maybe host something (not using SMS though) later in the week to see what the issue is.

I might try to host something later on.

Both great places to get your feet wet in online racing and have fun in. You just gotta search around

I used to have SMS lobby but for some reason it would get stuck on BR11 mod even if it was GEN 6 or BR12 etc. So I deleted it, redone downloaded it and same thing. Then I deleted all mods except gen 6 ran the races and then it would say no one else is racing. SMS lobby is good though so I reccomend that even if it didn't work for me.

Never heard of it. I just tried it, but there where like zero servers that had a track selected. So I can't really try it

I just tried SMS and tried Gen6 at dega '06 and had a ping of 130. Shouldn't that be enough to connect?

130 ping should be okay, and with ping lower is better, its quality that you want high (100 is perfect).

It makes no sense why I couldn't connect then. Does anybody know what could be the issue?

It probably comes down to you not having the correct core.ini. I won't be home today, but I'm sure one of these guys can upload their correct ones for you

 

[Carbon27]

I did some searching around and if you delete the core.ini the game makes a new one when you start up. I guess I will try that.

EDIT: So I deleted the core, and guess what?! It worked! I actually had to download Talladega and was racing the game timer with the download . Fun game!!!!!! Now I just got to work on getting into my pit stall.

Thanks so much Brandon!
