Any one have a config for this game yet?

It has not even been released yet

[nhouck]

Looks like we are right back to square 1 with all the same problems UT3 had happening again with Frontlines. It won't run as a service, -nohomedir doesn't work, -multihome doesn't work, blah blah blah...

 

Nice try KAOS Studios you guys are retards. What is wrong with game publishers these days?

[HIS-MOTHER]

Contact the Associate producer/ CommunityManager from Kaos and let him know. LOL

The Kaos studio crew had a conference call and went over the server information on Friday 2/22. They already stated that the server was not complete and they are working on getting it ready for GSPs.

[Nobis-Brett]

Yep, I think everyone's waiting

[tangogc]

the game is up.

there is a dedicated server file or a steam dedicated server download ?

 

thanks

[maddanny]

It's a dedicated server file. We already got them but no doc yet, we'll got some more infos this afternoon (EST time ).

[tangogc]

where I can download the dedicated server filles ?

[swish]

They have not been released yet. Myself and vet will probally be able to let you know more about it later tonight after our confrence call.

[tangogc]

Thanks a lot

[JasonF]

Conference call today and still no server files. Maybe next week they said. They have a 1 GB standalone server package they are going to release when they work out most of the bugs. As of right now it will only bind to 1 IP address and each server has its own login. They hope to resolve those issues before releasing the files.

[tangogc]

Thanks Vet

To expand on vet's post.

 

º The dedicated server files are apparently at 1.1 GB right now.

º They are shooting to be released "within 2 weeks"

º Servers are able to bind to each IP and you ARE able to run multiple instances on one box...however there are no custom game ports as of now. I know in the confrence call some of the UK guys were saying they need the custom ports because they dont run multiple IP's per box. However alot of us US guys have more IP allocations available to us and custom ports dont matter.

 

The call was pretty broad and still alot kept in the dark...hopefully more info to come soon.

Is it possible to host this with a cooked install guys?

 

i.e. take the directory from a pc with it installed and upload to one of our servers?

[JasonF]

I don't think they have released command line parameters for this game so I am uncertain. If you do decide to upload it, it is 11 GB so it will take awhile to upload.

[swish]

No its not possible to host it direct from the retail game at this time.

 

No configs,

 

No command lines ect

[cyberwolfie]

Actually in the binaries folder there are batch files etc, but I cant get it to work from a cooked install.

[cyberwolfie]

We contacted them about joining the meetings on Fridays, but no one replied, maybe they already have enough companies input?

 

So, someone present in these meetings, is the stand alone dedi files coming out soon?

[swish]

We are apparently not allowed to disclose info on the confrence calls any longer. Who did you email?

[cyberwolfie]

I am not sure now who I emailed, I will have a trawl through later.

 

If you get time later Swish, drop me the right details on msn please.

[nhouck]

It is possible to host a game from the retail binaries, but it won't stay in the server list in game due to a bug. So it's basically not worth doing.

 

Game's been out almost 3 weeks, no dedicated binary yet.

[swish]

Yes that is true...Plus COD4 is bad enough at 6GB.....who he heck wants to upload 11GB's of the retail game and not even have it display in the browers...

[JasonF]

This is the first game that I can think of that has 2 DVD installs. Does anyone else know of another?

 

Seems like games are getting bigger and bigger.

[vital]

should i wait to start transferring or should i just wait for the server files?
