GTR2 cant connect to server / lobby?

[dimitrifrom31]

Ive set a GTR2 server up, I started it manually via the dedicated.exe and entered the online key.

Also edited the dedicated.ini to put the 2 lines abou lobby login and loby password.

 

ALtho it keeps "failing to connect to server" saying me that "server will not be listed in the lobby"

 

Ive read in some GTR2 forums that simbim master server has been down several times, is that the case right now? Or did I miss something?

Tried with firewall disabled just to make sure and same issue.

 

Also if I get it sorted I would like to know where can I put the online key if I dont start the server manually in remote desktop? I mean can I let customers enter the key themselves or is that forced to do the manual stuff?

SimBin master is idd down for a few weeks and a patch was released to fix the issue :

im still interested in knowing about the online key if sum1 got an info if that can be done by the customer

I think you just have to get an online key from them and host it if you don't have your own.
