question about dedicated server
 

hi all,

i just have one question. to make a dedicated server for CLOD. is it like il2 or is it necessary to have a unique licence key and an steam count to make the dedicated server?

i mean if you want to make the dedicated server for your squad and play with them do you need to pay two times the game?

thx for infos

I'm not the best person to answer this as I just went out and bought another copy of the game to do it, but I'm pretty sure you don't have to. Of course, we've also been told that dedicated server files are supposed to be released sometime in the future as well.

Let's hope that's sooner than later.

There is no dedicated server right now as has been mentioned. Best to wait as online play is mostly dead.

Targ,

I don't know why it's been soo low the last couple of days, but I can assure you I've regularly seen 70+ people online. Just wait till tomorrow night me thinks!

Lets hope things pick up, but a dedicated server is going to have to come out hopefuly sooner that later.

ok then if i understand... all the server we see are not dedicated server but a player machine who host the game right?

no files for Real dedicated server?! ok thx

Dedicated server is a host PC that doesn't "join" the game, it just hosts. This gets rid of having to display graphics/sounds/etc, so it's easier to to host.

Syndicate is a dedicated server, Repka are dedicated servers, etc, the feature is already in the game.

Just open your launcher.exe properties and add "-server" or something like that in the launch parameters (can also be done through Steam i think) and it runs in dedicated mode.

I think people get confused by the definition: there's not yet a free standalone version of it, but the one that comes bundled with the game is still very much dedicated.

here are directions
