kaen Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scythetwirler Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 See http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/3556 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaen Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Awesome! It's really encouraging to see recent work done in this vein. I've only been playing for one day, but I've already seen a lot of chat messages like "someone host a game please." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
