multiplayer is pointless

Will there be a file release for server hosts (eg nitrado, gtx etc). At the moment, the MP game can only be played when the host starts the server. What if the game host goes on holiday?
It seems we can only play a MP game when a host has passed the minimum requirements for a MP game, which means we have to play in his game when he is online.
What I'd like to see is an independent server where we can drop in and out of a MP game and the game continues even if the original host leaves.

Thanks for the fast reply.

To be honest, if they don't add it as a 'task', then the MP aspect is pretty dead. At the moment, players have to arrange to be online at the same time to play MP.
My MP buddy is 60+ he may be dead soon, what do I do then

Hey! 60 is not old.

When I'm playing multiplayer I dont really care whether its on my savegame or on someone else. As the permanent progress is rather minimal (you can rent every machine anyways..), for me its more about the task itself then the "server".

It isn't, I was only joking. The 60+ guy is my brother and I too am 60+

At 60 they call me middle age. How many 120 yrs old men do you know?

And yet you replied to a multiplayer question.

I'm glad you like the game your way, some of us prefer the 'persistent' mode of a proper server.
Having hosted servers for 20 years or more, I have a liking for that kind of game play.

Ha, I hear you :)

It's not like dedicated servers are bleeding edge technology. I was running a 64-player Battlefield 1942 dedicated server, hosted in a data center, in 2003.

As long as they don't go the greedy route that Farm Sim does... Dedicated server options are always nice to have in games with MP available to them, especially those that can have a sort of persistence to them.

BTW, in the roadmap there is a feature planned for 2023 called "Shared company in multiplayer". no details yet, but it sounds promising.

Exactly. I was hosting several BF2 servers, I still have 'aimbotter, wallhacker, dolphin diver', ringing in my ears.
Hopefully the CS dev will release files to hosts before the game inevitably fades, because if they don't, hosts might think it's not worth the cost and turn their servers over to bitcoin mining.

Hello devs. There was a request for dedicated servers for CS 2015. It was going to be 'looked into'. It never happened ... so i'm assuming CS 2022 will also never happen.
Shame really. The FS franchise is a great success, CS is its poor cousin.
