I though the dedicated server was supposed to be able to run without steam and therefore able to be listed on other sites like HyperLobby.

So far I have not been able to get the DS to run without Steam running as well. I am also not having any luck connecting to the game console as you could with IL2. This is what Hyperlobby and FBDj would require to be able to manage and list a server (showing number of players, etc)

CloD is officially open for mods. Without Steam VAC it is dead because of very easy cheating.

Do not try splitting this small community between Steam and Hyperlobby please please.

+ 1 to the above post

He asked a question ...he is not tryng to split anything and speaking of splitting...promises were made and not kept (HL,DEDI)
how long do you think it will be before people stop hosting because they are tired of steam logging them off for no apparent reason or the server just freezing or not being able to get more than 40 people in a server or the inability to use HL or FBDJ....VAC is probably a good idea but it does not even work right now...

Theres lots of problems with CLOD right now Atoras.....but valid questions is not one of them.

S!

Good old HyperLobby, never had any props with that lol

I could care less which application is used to run Clod in Multiplayer. What I do care about is that application working correctly and not causing more problems that it solves.

Right Now I can setup and run a DS, but it does not show up on the Clients list of available Servers. I'm fairly computer literate and have tried everything I can think of to get it working. From my other post there are others who are having the same problem. If Steam is the way to go, fine. Just someone tell me what is required to get it working properly. (I should not have the first line of the Dedicated Server console show an error message about failing to connect to the Steam service !)

If steam is required to keep everyone using the same code for Multiplayer (i.e. no cheating/MODS) via VAC they I am all for it. Right now you can connect to any server regardless of what patch you have installed which tells me that the checks are not being done(To be implemented in the Future I hope).

The potential is there for this sim to run 10+ years as IL2 is doing, but it is up to us in the community and the development team to work together getting everything working correctly.

I mentioned HL because I am familiar with it and I know exactly what I need to do to connect/start a server with it. If there were some help in setting up Steam I would be happy with Steam as well.

If steam is limited to 35 clients, it's no worry, EVERYONE TO HYPERLOBBY!!!!:-x

Anyone figured out how to stop their server logging off from steam..? its happening to our server far too often.

...same question here...

It got much worse last week.
