[EM] Single Player Only Contracts in Multiplayer

Post by norc »

I have tried searching but can't find a mention, I was doing some contracts the other night and at one of the stations I was at I could not take on any of the contracts as they were "Single Player Only". My server is set for multiplayer profiles only so one would assume it would in turn allow for single player only contracts.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

You're likely referring to the race contract, which isn't available in the multiplayer mode. The race system switches over to a dedicated multiplayer setup when in MP mode, which is managed in the trade console between players for human-vs-human races. Races against AI must be done in single player.

Yes it was a race contract. Should the system just not offer those contracts in MP only servers?

No, the system should not display racing contracts in multiplayer, except at the quest stage that requires it. In that case, the game will display the race contract to the player as required by the quest system to inform them that they will need to complete the objective in single player. But anywhere else any time else in multiplayer, they shouldn't appear.
