How many drivers can race on my server?

The number of drivers is based on the slots you've booked. ZapX automatically sends the slot count to the server every time it starts. You can upgrade your server if you need more spots.

Why doesn't my server appear in the list right away?

After starting or restarting, the server needs a moment to register with the game's backend. Check Console to confirm it's fully started, then refresh the list after a short while.

Introduction

Want to race laps with your friends or league on your own Assetto Corsa Evo game server, but aren't sure how to join it? No worries, we've got you covered! We'll show you what you need and how to find and join your server in the game.

Assetto Corsa Evo: Connect to the Server

Requirements

A few things need to be in place before you can connect:

You and your fellow players need Assetto Corsa Evo on Steam. The game and server should both be up to date.
Your server must be fully started. Check Overview to see if it's online, and Console to confirm that it has connected to the game's backend.
You need to know your server's server name. You can find and change it in ZapX under the Configuration tab, in Startup Parameters, in the Server Name field. By default, it's called ZapX Assetto Corsa Evo Server.

Tip

Give your server a unique, easy-to-recognize name. Many servers keep their provider's default name, so you'll see several servers with the same name listed one after another.

Find Your Server in the Game

Assetto Corsa Evo registers your server with the game's backend, and it appears in the in-game Server Browser:

Start Assetto Corsa Evo and open Multiplayer.
Open the Server Browser and search for your server's server name.
Select your server and join it. If you've set a server password, the game will ask you to enter it.

Info

After starting or restarting, your server needs a little time to register and appear in the list. If you can't find it right away, refresh the list after a short while.

Public or Private

Without a server password, any driver can join your server through the Server Browser. If you only want to race with your group, set a server password in the Startup Parameters section of the Configuration tab, then restart the server. Share the password with your fellow players.

The admin password, on the other hand, is for you as the server operator. ZapX generates it automatically when you create the server. According to the game developer, you can use it to manage the server while driving. Don't share it with your fellow players.

Number of Drivers

The number of drivers who can race on your server at the same time depends on the slots you've booked. ZapX automatically sends the slot count to your server every time it starts. If you need more spots, you can upgrade your server at any time.

Possible Issues and Solutions

Server Doesn't Appear in the Server Browser

First, check Overview to see if your server is online, and Console to confirm that it has fully started. It may take a moment for the server to appear in the list after starting. Also, search for the exact name shown in the Server Name field. If you've edited the server_launcher.json file, make sure it's still valid JSON. Find out more in our guide Common Issues.

Password Isn't Accepted

Set the password in the Server Password field. If you've changed it, restart your server for the change to take effect. Remember that passwords are case-sensitive.

Server Is Full

If all your booked slots are occupied, no one else can join. Upgrade your server in Overview if you need more spots.
