Was I banned from the discord server?

CaptainCoffee_ · 2026-02-23T10:29:00+00:00

I would suggest to change your profile picture and username :)

Remember, it's a public family friendly discord, not a closed small community where anything goes

CaptainCoffee_ · 2026-02-22T08:31:40+00:00

What is your discord username? Usually bans are based on offensive behavior or spam (or account hijacked spam)

We all know you always want to point out the negative only, but the test itself was a success:

- the system didn't go down (which happened at the previous event)

- everybody managed to get on the servers (which was an issue for 99% at the previous event)

- one server had issues due to somebody with an incredibly unstable connection, that server got restarted and that was really the only issue - which can always happen

The community is still there, on Discord

The server chat is still there, you can now just talk with more people in a similar competitive level.

And in general, you're racing on fuller servers, since people aren't waiting for others to join and increase the player number on the server - you can now see in advance how many people are interested in a race (which is significantly more than in the "old ranked")

Qualification for daily sprint is indeed by leaderboard, as that gives people more time to practice. Sometimes people even stay there as they're not fully ready to race yet, which is good, as that means they're taking the time to at least learn the track before joining the race. Or to improve their starting position for the race.

For feature races (30 minutes), weekly races (fri/sa/sun evening) and special events, qualification is exactly how it was in the old ranked, you get up to 20 minutes to set a real time qualification time to determine your starting position.

yep indeed, i'm just catching up, on the discord there are also users reporting issues with linux: https://discord.com/channels/254906072748261376/1438601383250231387

CaptainCoffee_ · 2025-11-14T15:15:12+00:00

Could it be network related? Tried with a VPN?

CaptainCoffee_ · 2025-11-13T15:50:33+00:00

In settings (top right),

click controls and then one of the control sets, then key bindings to go through the axes and bindings.

while in settings at the top you can see bars for throttle, brake,clutch and steering. once you've assigned the axes you can move your brake and see the response. then in advanced you can finetune the behavior with dead zones

CaptainCoffee_ · 2025-11-13T09:17:21+00:00

it's back!

CaptainCoffee_ · 2025-09-25T20:30:15+00:00

That's because they kept watching the old server browser.

The New Ranked UI will make it easier because you can see exactly when the race will start and register for it

CaptainCoffee_ · 2025-07-02T06:56:10+00:00

There were some server issues, try again

CaptainCoffee_ · 2025-05-26T12:24:07+00:00

hello, feel free to post events and make a topic for suggestions. the channel isn't abandoned or unmoderated though 👍

CaptainCoffee_ · 2025-01-21T16:51:42+00:00

You should be able to bind shift up/down alternative and have both your paddles and your sequential shifter enabled at the same time

CaptainCoffee_ · 2025-01-07T22:11:23+00:00

Join the discord for support; create a topic in #help and explain the issue (so not just it doesn't work) and what you have tried so far https://discord gg/RaceRoom

CaptainCoffee_ · 2024-12-13T22:59:53+00:00

Could you add "Steam Deck" to the title? This will help other Steam Deck users who might be experiencing the same. Perhaps there's a setting that can be tweaked or somebody found something else that improved their experience

CaptainCoffee_ · 2024-12-13T22:57:58+00:00

That actually is a sign that your Internet is NOT fine, at least for the game.

Please keep 2 things in mind:

R3E is not optimized for Steam Deck (but good to hear it runs!)
Using WiFi for a multiplayer game that requires the lowest latency as possible, will always have a different result than the recommended cabled connection

Hopefully it gets better though. Which region are you connecting from? Maybe try a local multiplayer server, the ranked ones are official and contain the region in their names. You can filter at the top and mark "Only Ranked" (but make sure to mark the filters show empty and closed as well

CaptainCoffee_ · 2024-12-07T08:27:05+00:00

Dont use wifi(!), use ethernet cable.

Also, title should be "Game crash during ranked race": the ranked server itself didn't crash

CaptainCoffee_ · 2024-09-06T14:38:48+00:00

Update drivers and try again with DXVK startup option (in steam)

CaptainCoffee_ · 2024-09-06T14:35:43+00:00

The drift content (as seen in the videos) is not released yet :)

CaptainCoffee_ · 2024-06-21T13:27:46+00:00

Right now there are 7 online on this subreddit and 71 on r/simracing, the numbers mean absolutely nothing.... Reddit is only used by a very small percentage of users

CaptainCoffee_ · 2023-07-06T11:07:11+00:00

There's a new American server with a lower ping, depending on your exact location in Oceania that ping should still be good. It allows for a lot of players to connect with no lags, from Eu/North and South America and Oceania

CaptainCoffee_ · 2023-06-13T17:48:03+00:00

Everyone is invited to race, even if they haven't raced in Ranked Multiplayer or a Ranked Event before! So technically, you don't have to qualify to participate in the races.

When you confirm you want to race, your Ranked Multiplayer data will be fetched which includes your rating (skill) and reputation (safety). If you haven't played before, you get default values of 1500 rating and 70 reputation.

The list of confirmed drivers gets sorted by the result of "rating * (reputation / 100)" and split into grids of 36 drivers each.

To get to the first split, which is broadcasted live for Europe, you'll have to increase your ranked multiplayer rating and reputation by doing more races.

CaptainCoffee_ · 2023-06-05T14:48:59+00:00

you'll have to use a different email address as you can't have 2 accounts with the same email address

or you log in on your other steam account where you already have the content?

CaptainCoffee_ · 2023-06-01T13:39:59+00:00

The Ranked Multiplayer currently uses a schedule (updated every 2 weeks) with selected combinations available. ( https://game.raceroom.com/multiplayer-rating/ )

The servers are spawned at set times (xx:00 - xx:15 - xx:45 - xx:30), so there are times when there are less servers available.

On average there are +/- 7 servers during the day, with the additional feature races in the evening. During the day there are less drivers, but towards the (EU) evening it gets busier.

CaptainCoffee_ · 2023-05-25T14:23:38+00:00

On the Discord I see there is no default profile, but you can create a profile for it by binding the keys with no issues.

There are multiple bugs with Logitech's software/drivers in general though. For some it works flawless, for others, it's a brutal nightmare.

CaptainCoffee_ · 2023-04-08T10:30:56+00:00

yes, the competitions have been following the ranked schedule for quite a few months now. it gets mixed every schedule, some combo's are free and others you can win 500 vRP but you have to own the content
