🎯 SERVER-SIDE RR3 ASSET CAPTURE GUIDE

Environment: OVH Server via RDP
Status: 🟢 OPTIMAL SETUP FOR PRESERVATION
Date: 2026-02-18

✅ Your Advantages

Server environment is PERFECT for this task:

  • ✅ Plenty of storage (can mirror everything)
  • ✅ Fast network (OVH bandwidth)
  • ✅ 24/7 availability
  • ✅ Easy traffic capture (Wireshark available)
  • ✅ Direct file access (no USB needed)
  • ✅ Can run scripts unattended

📍 STEP 1: Locate Downloaded Assets

BlueStacks File Locations

C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks_nxt\Engine\UserData\SharedFolder\
C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks_nxt\Engine\Android\
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\BlueStacks_nxt\Engine\UserData\SharedFolder\

Inside emulator:
/sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/
/sdcard/Android/obb/com.ea.games.r3_row/

NoxPlayer File Locations

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Nox_share\
C:\Program Files\Nox\bin\BignoxVMS\

Inside emulator:
/mnt/shared/
/sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/

LDPlayer File Locations

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\LDPlayer\
C:\LDPlayer\LDPlayer4.0\vms\

Inside emulator:
/sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/

MEmu File Locations

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\MEmu\
D:\MEmu\MemuHyperv VMs\

Inside emulator:
/sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/

🔍 STEP 2: Find RR3 Assets

Option A: Use Emulator's File Manager

1. Open emulator
2. Open file manager app
3. Navigate to: Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/
4. Look for:
   - .pak files (car/track assets)
   - .pka files (asset packages)
   - .z files (compressed textures)
   - manifest files
5. Share/export to Windows (emulator shared folder)

Option B: ADB Command (From Server)

# Check if ADB is available
adb devices

# If emulator is listed, pull files:
adb pull /sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row/files/ E:\rr3\captured-assets\

# Also check OBB directory:
adb pull /sdcard/Android/obb/com.ea.games.r3_row/ E:\rr3\captured-obb\

Option C: Search Windows Filesystem

# Search for RR3 asset files on entire server
Get-ChildItem -Path C:\ -Recurse -Include *.pak,*.pka,*.z -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | 
    Where-Object { $_.FullName -like "*com.ea.games.r3_row*" } |
    Select-Object FullName, Length, LastWriteTime

📡 STEP 3: Capture Network Traffic

Option A: Wireshark (GUI)

1. Download: https://www.wireshark.org/download.html
2. Install on server
3. Start capture on active network interface
4. Filter: http or tls or ssl
5. Let RR3 download
6. Stop capture
7. Filter display: http.host contains "ea.com"
8. Export: File → Export Objects → HTTP

Option B: Microsoft Message Analyzer (Built-in)

1. Start → Microsoft Message Analyzer
2. New Session → Live Trace
3. Select network adapter
4. Start capture
5. Let RR3 download
6. Stop and analyze

Option C: tcpdump (Command Line)

# If tcpdump is available (WSL or native)
tcpdump -i any -w E:\rr3\capture.pcap host ea.com

# Let it run while RR3 downloads
# Press Ctrl+C when done

# Analyze with Wireshark later

Option D: Fiddler (HTTP Proxy)

1. Download: https://www.telerik.com/fiddler
2. Install and run
3. Tools → Options → HTTPS → Capture HTTPS CONNECTs
4. Tools → Options → HTTPS → Decrypt HTTPS traffic
5. Emulator should auto-detect proxy
6. Watch traffic in Sessions panel
7. File → Export → All Sessions

🌐 STEP 4: Extract CDN URLs

Once you have captured traffic, look for:

URL Patterns to Find:

https://cloudcell.ea.com/...
https://cdn.ea.com/...
https://*.cloudfront.net/...
https://s3.amazonaws.com/ea-*/...

Common paths:
/rr3/assets/...
/realracing3/...
/mobile/rr3/...

In Wireshark:

1. File → Export Objects → HTTP
2. Look at hostnames column
3. Filter for .pak, .pka, .z files
4. Note the full URLs
5. Export to text file

In Fiddler:

1. Filter to show only ea.com hosts
2. Right-click session → Copy → Just URL
3. Paste all URLs to text file
4. Look for asset download patterns

📥 STEP 5: Mass Download Assets

Once You Have the CDN Base URL:

# Example: CDN is at https://cloudcell.ea.com/rr3/assets/

$cdnBase = "https://cloudcell.ea.com/rr3/assets"
$outputDir = "E:\rr3\cdn-mirror"

# Create output directory
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $outputDir -Force

# Download with wget (if available)
wget -r -np -nH --cut-dirs=3 -A pak,pka,z,json -e robots=off $cdnBase

# Or use PowerShell (slower but built-in)
# We'll create a script once we know the structure

🔧 QUICK COMMANDS

Find All Asset Files on Server:

Get-ChildItem -Path C:\ -Recurse -Include *.pak,*.pka,*.z | 
    Select-Object FullName, @{Name="SizeMB";Expression={[math]::Round($_.Length/1MB,2)}} |
    Sort-Object SizeMB -Descending

Check Emulator Process Details:

Get-Process | Where-Object {$_.ProcessName -like "*Nox*" -or $_.ProcessName -like "*BlueStacks*" -or $_.ProcessName -like "*MEmu*" -or $_.ProcessName -like "*LD*"} | 
    Select-Object ProcessName, Id, Path, @{Name="MemoryMB";Expression={[math]::Round($_.WorkingSet/1MB,0)}}

Monitor Network Usage:

Get-NetAdapterStatistics | Select-Object Name, ReceivedBytes, SentBytes

Check Free Disk Space:

Get-PSDrive C | Select-Object Used, Free, @{Name="FreeMB";Expression={[math]::Round($_.Free/1GB,2)}}

📦 STEP 6: Package and Preserve

Create Archive:

# Once all assets are captured
$timestamp = Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMdd"
$archivePath = "E:\rr3\rr3-assets-$timestamp.zip"

# Compress with maximum compression
Compress-Archive -Path "E:\rr3\captured-assets\*" -DestinationPath $archivePath -CompressionLevel Optimal

# Check size
(Get-Item $archivePath).Length / 1GB

Generate Manifest:

# Create file list with hashes
Get-ChildItem -Path "E:\rr3\captured-assets" -Recurse -File | 
    Select-Object FullName, Length, 
        @{Name="MD5";Expression={(Get-FileHash $_.FullName -Algorithm MD5).Hash}} |
    Export-Csv "E:\rr3\asset-manifest.csv" -NoTypeInformation

🎯 WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW

# 1. Check where assets are being downloaded
Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\ProgramData" -Recurse -Include *.pak,*.pka -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | 
    Where-Object { $_.LastWriteTime -gt (Get-Date).AddHours(-1) } |
    Select-Object FullName, Length, LastWriteTime

# 2. Check emulator's shared folders
Get-ChildItem -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\*" -Recurse -Include *.pak,*.pka -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
    Where-Object { $_.LastWriteTime -gt (Get-Date).AddHours(-1) } |
    Select-Object FullName, @{Name="SizeMB";Expression={[math]::Round($_.Length/1MB,2)}}, LastWriteTime

# 3. Start network capture (if Wireshark installed)
# Or use built-in Windows tools

💡 TIPS FOR SERVER ENVIRONMENT

  1. Keep RDP session active

    • Prevent auto-logout
    • Keep emulator running

  2. Monitor disk space

    • Assets could be several GB
    • Ensure 20+ GB free

  3. Backup immediately

    • Copy files to separate location
    • Consider OVH backup service

  4. Document everything

    • Save URLs to text file
    • Screenshot download progress
    • Log all steps

  5. Share with community

    • Upload to Internet Archive
    • Share in Discord
    • Create torrent

🚨 IF DOWNLOAD STOPS

# Check if RR3 process is still running
Get-Process | Where-Object {$_.ProcessName -like "*RealRacing*" -or $_.MainWindowTitle -like "*Real Racing*"}

# Check network activity
Get-NetTCPConnection | Where-Object {$_.OwningProcess -in (Get-Process | Where-Object {$_.ProcessName -like "*Nox*" -or $_.ProcessName -like "*BlueStacks*"}).Id}

# Restart if needed and let it resume

📞 WHAT TO REPORT BACK

  1. What emulator are you using?
  2. How much has it downloaded? (MB/GB)
  3. Where are the files located? (path)
  4. Can you see any URLs in network monitor?
  5. Do you have Wireshark or Fiddler available?

Once I know these details, I can give you exact commands to run!

Status: 🟢 Waiting for download to complete
Next: Extract URLs, mirror CDN, preserve forever! 🏁
