Server Access Control

Maintaining a respectful and safe racing environment is important for any community. If a player is disruptive, intentionally causes collisions, or violates your server’s rules, you can permanently restrict their access by adding them to the server’s blacklist. This ensures that only fair drivers populate your grid.

The Blacklist File

Unlike modern titles that use usernames for bans, Assetto Corsa identifies players strictly by their unique SteamID64. This ensures that a player cannot bypass a ban simply by changing their display name.
1

Locate the File

In the Game Panel File Manager, find the blacklist.txt file in your server’s root directory.
2

Add the Player ID

Open the file and add one SteamID64 per line.
  • Example: 76561198000000000

Reinstating Access (Unbanning)

To allow a previously banned player to return to your server, follow these simple steps.
1

Modify blacklist.txt

Open the file and delete the specific line containing the player’s SteamID64.
2

Refresh Server Memory

Important: The server loads the blacklist into RAM at startup. You must Restart the server from the Console tab for the removal to take effect.

Real-Time Moderation

If you are currently in the server and authenticated as an administrator, you can execute the /ban <player_name> or /kick <player_name> commands directly via the in-game chat console. Commands executed in-game will automatically update the blacklist.txt file for you.
