:skul: Sorry... but this is horrible. I haven't tried the dedicated server for itself, but the software on GPortal is far from playable. You cannot set a passwort. cannot set less than 4 slots, users join and grief. You CAN NOT SAVE the game... the hotkey simply does not work and the server doesn't do it by itself.

The backup function on GPortal kills the server without saving, so you have an empty backup and all your progress is lost.
Every restart, your progress is lost.
This is frustrating....

PLEASE.. the game is great, but this dedi software (on GPortal) is terrible.

(Pear-2-Pear was not working at all for my friend and I - join and infinite sync issues)

I am working on the savegame and authentication system in game.
You will be able add your Steam ID and then download all savegames and load the game.

The new menu with Single Player, Multiplayer and Dedicated Server is coming

Tried forwarding the ports 7777/UDP, 14001/UDP and 1985/TCP (these are being opened by the server process) but only log entries I get are as follows.

LogNet: NotifyAcceptingConnection accepted from: x.x.x.x:64638
PacketHandlerLog: Error: PacketHandler parsing packet with zero's in last byte.

I hope we can get a Linux version soon, the vast majority of server hosts and the server hosting community run Linux as windows server licensing is cost prohibitive.

What about Linux server support?
Wow, Dedicated Servers! Nice one!
Where can i get the Linux-Files to host my own Server?

Its more important as public Servers because noone knows when they get wiped or much other things, so its important to have my own server on my own Rootserver, so i can control the server how I want to.

Exclusivity is bad for gaming. Don't support developers that sign exclusivity deals with sharky hosting companies.

I wish there is already a Linux server, but before that I want to improve the Windows Server.
Server files are available, so I hope everyone can host it.
You don't need to use GPortal for that, but you can use any host server space.

There is no exclusivity deal. I am glad that GPortal offered free public servers and helped to test/configure it.

Question: I bought your beta and installed the demo (while it existed). When i did buy the beta i expected you (or someone on your team) would send out a copy of the early access/released version of the game to me and everyone else with the beta, when it released. It has been a while since the game released (giving you time to catch up, in case you didn't have much time to sort emails to those who bought the beta) and i still haven't received a steam key for the early access version yet. This is me reminding you to send me it.

If you bought the beta for 7-8€ early 2022 you won't receive the Full Steam Key.
There was another package Beta + Steam Key (when released) for around 25€.

All keys were sent to Kickstarter supporters.

Please contact me on Discord, so I can check your email if maybe the key was sent, and you did not receive it.

Too bad G-Portal is one of the worst server providers out there.

I am finding GPortal easy to use and servers are reliable, never had problems so far.
You don't need to rent servers, if you have your own server space you can host your own server, here is the guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11sC1F2HdSymO44Hklg3nfrO5D66YIs7rEUrGV1GjpDM/edit
