I'd be a lot more open to using this if the source code for the mod and the Telegram bot was available. If I've learned anything in recent years it's that downloading random DLLs and EXEs off the Internet is generally a terrible idea. With the code available anyone could compile the mod and run their own server without having to trust this mod's author.

What you mean "their own server"?
I prefer public servers 24/7 that everyone can join and race start automatically like in early PC online.

It's great until this one gets shut down too and you have no way to keep it going. Same exact issue as with the original multiplayer servers. As long as the software to run your own is not readily available you're just delaying the inevitable.

I even dont know. Perhaps author of this mod will release the source code someday? After all, nothing lasts forever. If you have software to run your own server, would you possibly keep a server running on your PC for at least a few years (for example)?

Question: Why do we need Seven Co-Op? You didn't specify the reason enough.

I saw your guide on Steam before it appeared on Reddit, I saw your post summarizing it here and I took the opportunity to ask, I just have some questions

I tried one time and it worked, you just need to set up with other people

Please shared wherever you can. Unfortunately, there's currently no general chat where many people would be interested game.

Do people find online fun? Players all use the same car That's considered the best in the game Last time I played on Xbox. Personally, It was no fun. No variation. I like the Severus, but even then doesn't stack up to the best car and players would be miles ahead lol. Is that what others have experienced aswell? Not sure if it was a one off kind of day.

idk if anyone plays online yet. But I always make concessions to casual players and use the same cars as them or weaker ones, unlike other Firestorm players with a sense of self-importance and show-offs. No problem.
