Community Garage

Community Garage 1.1.3

What's new

•Works with the newest Azimuth build (1.0.2). On unsupported Azimuth builds the mod now says so in platform.log and stays out of the way.

•Better error reporting: if the game stops accepting a server reply part-way, the mod now writes a line about it to platform.log instead of failing silently.

Good to know

•Very large liveries (over about 337 KB) can't be downloaded in the game: it shows "Design Unavailable". The community server now refuses to accept uploads above that size, so you'll see the share fail instead of getting a design nobody can open. If a share is refused, delete some layers and try again.

•Designs made with a layer limit patch are usually far too big for this. Please don't share them.

•A few older large liveries uploaded before this change are still on the server and can't be opened by anyone.

Install / update

Extract the zip into your Azimuth folder (the one with azimuth.exe), as in the README. Your account key in communitygarage\account.ini isn't touched.

Community Garage 1.1.2

Your account key has moved

•Your account key and creator name are now stored in communitygarage\account.ini instead of server.ini.

Updates no longer touch this file, so you can't lose your account by replacing server.ini.

•Nothing to do if you're updating. The first time you start the game, your existing key and name are

moved over automatically.

•Back up communitygarage\account.ini, and keep it private. It's your login.

•To start a new account, delete account.ini. The old "delete the key= line" no longer applies.

•The creator name still defaults to your gamertag. To change it, put name= under [account] in account.ini.

New setting

•Use server economy values (Pause > Settings > MODS). It's on by default, as before. Turn it off to keep the

game's own built-in credit and XP payouts instead of the server's. Takes effect after a restart.

Notes

•If you copy your own server.ini over the new one, you no longer need to keep an [account] section in it.

What's new

•Wine / Proton fixes (thanks to the author of PR #3). Server errors such as 401, 404 and 503 now show up as what they are instead of a generic 0x8007007a, and 0.9.10 no longer crashes a few minutes after logon on Wine. On 0.9.10, server-made liveries won't show on other drivers' cars. Tunes are unaffected.

Please test

The Wine / Proton changes have not been tested by the maintainer. If you play on Steam Deck, Linux or Mac, please report whether Find, Share and Download work, and attach fh2-mods\platform.log.

Installing / updating

1. Close the game.

2. Download communitygarage-player.zip below and extract it into your Azimuth folder, overwriting the existing files.

3. Your settings and account are kept in communitygarage\server.ini, so don't delete that file.

Troubleshooting

If the game crashes or sharing doesn't work, send us fh2-mods\platform.log from your Azimuth folder. Leave [debug] trace at 0 in server.ini. Turning it on can make Find and Suggested hang on "loading".

What's new

•Works with the latest Azimuth update. The October 2026 Azimuth update stopped Community Garage from connecting to the server and could crash the game. Both are fixed.

•Older Azimuth versions still work. The mod now detects which Azimuth build you have and picks the right settings.

•Safer with future Azimuth updates. If Azimuth is updated again before the mod catches up, Community Garage will switch off its Azimuth-specific parts instead of crashing the game. Sharing may not work until a new mod version is out.

Installing / updating

1. Close the game.

2. Download communitygarage-player.zip below and extract it into your Azimuth folder, overwriting the existing files.

3. Your settings and account are kept in communitygarage\server.ini, so don't delete that file.

Troubleshooting

If the game crashes or sharing doesn't work, send us fh2-mods\platform.log from your Azimuth folder.

No release notes were provided for this version.

Release notes

•Fixed a game crash that could happen when applying a downloaded tune whose saved car didn't match the car you're in. The mod now refuses that download with "This tune was made for a different car", so your car stays as it was. If such a tune still gets through, the game fits stock parts instead of crashing.

If you are updating from an earlier version

Do not replace communitygarage\server.ini
