Dedicated server/autohost?


Recommended Posts

The game is fun but having to host games locally is problematic for a number of obvious reasons. I'd really like to host a dedicated server somewhere and leave it available to play all the time. Between the firewall issues, high unit counts, and the resource requirements for 2v2 or 3v3 games, a dedicated host would be a lot less hassle. I was looking around and couldn't find a dedicated build anywhere, but if I'm mistaken please let me know. Ideally I'm looking for a bot that sits there, waits for the room to fill/ready up, then starts the game.

Unfortunately, a dedicated host doesn't really help much with performance since all calculations (such as pathfinding) are done by every player/client and game states are hashed and compared to check for OOS (and/or cheating). It still would be nice to have so that players that are unable to host can still start games. :)
