struth__ Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Using the GRAW2 Launcher to configure a SADS (Stand Alone Dedicated Server) Run the Launcher once on the server Click start, close the "success" message box that pops up telling you you're configured to play on the game/share network. If your SADS is installed in a default destination folder, the launcher will find it and run the client as it's suppose to, use the " > Kill" button to quickly shut down the client before it starts. Other stuff If you're running a router and firewall? you will need to open a Port: default SADS port is UDP 16250 Don't used the cheat scan! set <scan_for_cheats value="false"/> in your dedicated_game_info.xml or players will need to uninstall mods to join even though that cannot use them. If you want to change the default port to run multiple instances of the SADS add <port value="port here"/> to your dedicated_game_info.xml Don't forget - running multiple instances with an OS above XP sp3 needs special consideration regarding C:\Users\your-servers-username\AppData\Local\graw2 you'll need to make multiple versions of the GRAW2 folder and direct each instances to it's respective folder, I've not been successful at this method. I take the easy way out and use XP for running multiple instances. If you are having any trouble seeing, joining or playing on the server? Try... No firewall Use port UDP - 16250 for testing Ping the server host from outside the hosting subnet - get your friends to type ping your hosting ip address in a CMD window and hit enter Use a port checker to make sure UDP - 16250 is open and reachable on the servers host router Hope this helps - JH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
