Setting Up Server Auto-Kick for High Ping and Reckless Drivers in Assetto Corsa

To maintain a fair and lag-free racing experience, you can configure your Assetto Corsa server to automatically kick players with high ping or reckless driving behavior. High-ping players can cause lag spikes, and reckless drivers can ruin competitive races. By implementing auto-kick settings, you ensure smooth and clean gameplay.

This guide will walk you through setting up ping limits, enabling automatic kicks for reckless driving, and enforcing server rules using VolticHost Game Panel.

📌 Prerequisites

• An Assetto Corsa server purchased at VolticHost.com

• Access to VolticHost Game Panel

• Knowledge of server configuration files

1️⃣ Enabling Auto-Kick for High Ping Players

Players with high latency cause lag spikes and make racing unfair for others. Setting a maximum ping limit will automatically remove laggy players from the server.

1. Log in to VolticHost Game Panel.

2. Navigate to File Manager.

3. Open the following file:

   /cfg/server_cfg.ini
   

4. Find and modify the ping limit settings:

   KICK_HIGH_PING=200  // Players exceeding 200ms ping will be kicked
   

5. Save the file and restart the server.

✅ Players with excessive ping will now be removed automatically!

2️⃣ Auto-Kicking Players for Reckless Driving

To enforce clean racing, you can configure automatic kicks for reckless drivers based on collision penalties.

1. Open server_cfg.ini in File Manager.

2. Add or modify the following penalty settings:

   AUTO_KICK_ENABLED=1  // 1 = Enable automatic kicks, 0 = Disable
   AUTO_KICK_THRESHOLD=5  // Players exceeding 5 penalty points get kicked
   PENALTY_RULES=1  // 1 = Enable in-game penalties for reckless driving
   

3. Save and restart the server.

✅ Drivers who accumulate too many penalties will now be auto-kicked!

3️⃣ Enforcing Server Behavior Rules (Blocking, Cutting, Wrong-Way Driving)

To prevent intentional blocking, corner-cutting, and wrong-way driving, adjust behavior rules:

1. Open server_cfg.ini in File Manager.

2. Modify the settings below:

   ANTI_CUTTING_ENABLED=1  // 1 = Enable automatic detection of corner cutting
   WRONG_WAY_KICK=1  // 1 = Auto-kick players driving in the wrong direction
   BLOCKING_PENALTY=1  // 1 = Enable penalties for blocking other racers
   

3. Save and restart the server.

✅ Your server will now enforce behavior rules automatically!

4️⃣ Restarting the Server to Apply Changes

1. Navigate to the Console tab in VolticHost Game Panel.

2. Click Stop to shut down the server.

3. Wait a few seconds, then click Start to launch the updated server.

✅ Your Assetto Corsa server now has automated player kicking for high ping and reckless driving!

🎉 Conclusion

You've successfully enabled auto-kick for high-ping players, set up reckless driving penalties, and enforced behavior rules using VolticHost Game Panel! Your server is now protected from laggy players and bad drivers, ensuring a smooth racing experience. 🚀
