Voluk Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I am thinking about buying the game, but I would like to know If I have to buy anything besides the game itself to play online with one friend. I dont need a server which is online 24/7, just when we play together. Do I really need to buy a dedicated server or can I just set up a server for me and my friend for free?

Zillvr Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hey @Voluk welcome to the forums. You can certainly play DST with your friend and the only prerequisite is that they also have DST on their own steam account. With just DST (just the game itself) you would be able to run a server on your own PC. You simply have to decide among yourselves who will be the host (usually the person with the better PC is best suited to be the host). Once you know who'll host, whoever the host is should follow these steps: Open DST click Play Click Host Game Select New Server on left colum, then configure your server however you like. Be aware that Caves are disabled by default. If you want caves, host should click the World tab and click Add Caves. Add a password for the server (if you want to play privately with just the two of you). If you don't add a password, then random players would also be able to join the server. Then click Generate World Once the host is in the character selection screen, they can send a Steam Invite to the other OR the other player can look in Browse Games and toggle Friends to Yes (to be able to see servers hosted by friends) Then click Join Server. And thats it! Just for clarification since there seems to be a bit of confusion about dedicated servers. Dedicated servers was introduced into DST so that worlds that players play in can continue to be accessible even if the host who set it up isn't playing DST. But since you plan to play only when both of you are online, then you don't really need to bother with dedicated servers. I hope that helps, enjoy. Cheers!

Lots of free sites that you renew per day manually or per hour regardless.
