Kriptic Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I recently got my key and have been playing with a friend of mine. However, there are time when we don't sync up to play and our world is hosted on my computer. My question is; Is there a way to set up a dedicated server on another computer with an addition key? Has there been software release that will allow me to do this, or is the only way currently to host while you play.

acemurdock Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I don't think that's been released yet, the only dedicated servers that you see on the list belong to developers currently until it's released to everyone. They are in the pipeline, though!

cptCalavera Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 It is possible to start a game on another computer if you have an extra key. And stop when you are at the character selection screen. Then you can join from your main computer and the 'host' wont be in the game. So its kinda like a makeshift dedicated server. U need an extra key and extra computer though.

Developer Diabu Posted December 9, 2014 Developer Share Posted December 9, 2014 I don't think that's been released yet, the only dedicated servers that you see on the list belong to developers currently until it's released to everyone. They are in the pipeline, though! Actually, it's wrong. Some modders are already testing some Dedicated servers given by Klei. On these, we can do anything we want to. I've also hosted my own dedicated server (Diabu's dedicated Server) on a better machine than the one Klei's gave me.So they're working on it, we give them feed backs on how we use dedicated, how easy it is manage it, and so on.

Developer MarkL Posted December 9, 2014 Developer Share Posted December 9, 2014 That's correct. We are just ironing out a few more lua crashes, and making the configuration more usable- and then we will roll it out to everyone. Currently it's far more performant than the base game, does not require a graphics card, has lower memory consumption, and already works on Windows/Linux.

Or, any way I can get Klei to allow me to host my own? I mean, it would be for two people on the same router so I assume I can give good feedback or see if there are any bugs?

Developer Diabu Posted December 9, 2014 Developer Share Posted December 9, 2014 I don't really think you need a Dedicated server if you're playing with someone on the same network.Klei's dedicated server are mainly for online playing. I don't think you can have better performance thanks to Dedicated servers =/The only difference will be that a dedicated won't shut down when players disconnect Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/45864-setting-up-a-dedicated-server/#findComment-582252 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both play, and we enjoy playing together. But, sometimes we just want to play and it sucks having to wait for the other person to want to also. I'd like to just have my 2nd computer just running our world so we can make progress whenever we feel like it instead of 'having' to play at the same time.

Developer Diabu Posted December 9, 2014 Developer Share Posted December 9, 2014 Ok, that what I thought. I don't think that Klei needs feedback from this kind of use. Hope it will be available to everyone soon For now, as someone's else said, you may just use another computer as dedicated server, with its own steam account and DST key Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/45864-setting-up-a-dedicated-server/#findComment-582273 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a system available with 48gb RAM, two quad core Xeons, and a raid10 array (ESX server 4.1) that I can easily run a dedicated server on for some testing. My connection is 30Mb down and 3Mb up. I could set it up on a windows or linux instance (any flavor).Excited to see a dedicated server in the pipeline!

Developer MarkL Posted December 13, 2014 Developer Share Posted December 13, 2014 The game takes about 8kb/s per player, with a download spike when someone joins. Most of our test servers are running on 500mb of ram, which should comfortably host around 8 players. Getting the servers out is a priority, so it shouldn't be much longer Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/45864-setting-up-a-dedicated-server/#findComment-584994 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting the servers out is a priority, so it shouldn't be much longer 8 kilobits/s or kilobytes/s? (probably kilobytes, but it doesn't hurt to ask) And that's the upload bandwidth, right? Do you have a benchmark for the download bandwidth, and for both the download and upload bandwidth used by clients as well?

Developer Diabu Posted December 13, 2014 Developer Share Posted December 13, 2014 Some figures concerning bandwidth usage on my dedicated:With 18 players connected , and SSH : - Incoming: around 450 kBit/s- Outgoing: around 1 MBit/s- Memory : 1,15 Gbytes Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/45864-setting-up-a-dedicated-server/#findComment-585061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer MarkL Posted December 15, 2014 Developer Share Posted December 15, 2014 For a server running @ 30 tick, each client costs approximately:8 Kilo Bytes per second up2 Kilo Bytes per second down so, an 8 player server would roughly require:64 Kilo Bytes per second up16 Kilo Bytes per second down The amount of data to list the game/ping is negligible. These statistics vary pretty wildly. In a simple forest scene a client may only use half that bandwidth, but in a more complicated scene they may use significantly more. By default servers run at 15 tick, and consume less bandwidth.
