Frequently asked questions

Which server does FREAKHOSTING run for Assetto Corsa?

The official Kunos dedicated server, acServer, on Linux. AssettoServer, which many traffic and freeroam servers use, is a different program. See AI traffic.

How do I change my server name, track or cars?

Stop the server, open cfg/server_cfg.ini in Files and change NAME, TRACK and CARS. Each car you list also needs slots in cfg/entry_list.ini. See getting started.

Do players need Content Manager or CSP to join?

No, unless you make your server require CSP. Many players use both anyway. See Content Manager and CSP.

Can I use mod cars and tracks?

Yes. Upload their server data to content/cars/ and content/tracks/. Every player needs the same content installed on their PC.

File Manager
