i want to know why i can't run the dedicated server and the game simultaneously.

[Melissa]

Works for me[4o4.nl], what's the problem you're facing?

[СֳƷ]

if i launch the dedicated server and the game at the same time, the other will not run, whichever order i launch them in, steam says the game is already running, this was never an issue before.


also i was hosting a coop match with the listen server and stepped through the second teleporter in the kleer world and instead of putting me with the team i went through the floor of the map and fell for eternity.

that's me falling through the kleer world. i think what happened was the teleporter materialized me on the floating rock platform that sinks into the lava and of course there's nothing under there.

Ah, I see. You're trying to launch the dedicated server via Steam, right? We'll be deleting that launch option soon. Instead, find the DedicatedServer.exe in your game directory here:

g:\Steam\SteamApps\common\serious sam 2\Bin\DedicatedServer.exe

And launch that instead.

ok, is there any way i can continue using the old launcher tool to set up the server? i really hate digging in the ini files.

Yes, you can still use that launcher tool (made by DwK, I think?) with this update, as far as I know.

yes, the one by DwK. that one tells me it can't connect because the server is gone or whatever. what do i need to alter to make it work with the new version of the server?

I'll have to check what exactly we changed in the game that causes the tool to say that, will look into this.

well i thought it must have had something to do with gamespy not being used anymore. perhaps i'm making the call to the wrong folder or something.

using DwK's tool, i never had a problem prior to the update but now i get an ERR the attempt to connect was forcefully rejected, popup and then a the utility was unable to log into the server and has stopped it. if the problem persists... popup and this log in the window:

Same problems here, could you provide your config, so that we get a clue?

[Melissa]

Can you report this in detail on the AP bugreporter, please? Thanks! http://ap.samrev.com/bugs/

It works for me. I run SS TSE, BFE, Revolutions, and SS2 dedicated servers all at once and can game anything I own at the same time including any SS games. Can join and leave all servers fine. The old "easy launch" tools for the old SS 2 doesn't work for me anymore since the gamespy removal happened.

For SS2 Dedicated I did the following for a co-op game on Serious difficulty (my game is on my drive D: so change the pathing to how your system is) There are other ways to do it but works for me:

1) I setup my router to port forward 25600-25617 (UDP and TCP)
2) Edit the file named: D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Serious Sam 2\Content\SeriousSam2\Config\DedicatedServer.cfg

I put the following in the file (you can change it to how you want the game)

[DedicatedServer]

sam_sgpGameOptions.sgp_bFriendlyFire = 0;
sam_sgpGameOptions.sgp_iExtraEnemyStrength = 0;
sam_sgpGameOptions.sgp_iEnemyStrengthPerPlayer = 25;
sam_sgpGameOptions.sgp_ctMaxLives = 25;
sam_sgpGameOptions.sgp_ctMaxPlayers = 16;
sam_sgpGameOptions.sgp_bInfiniteAmmoInCoop = 0;
sam_sgpGameOptions.sgp_bWeaponStaysInCoop = 1;
sam_sgpGameOptions.sgp_bAmmoStaysInCoop = 1;
sam_sgpGameOptions.sgp_bHealthAndArmorStayInCoop = 1;
net_fProblemsTimeout = 120;
net_bClientsMayPause = 0;

[Sam2Game]

sam_sgpGameOptions.sgp_gdGameDifficulty = 5;

3) Created D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Serious Sam 2\SS 2 Dedicated Server.bat

I put the following in the file (The "DedicatedServer.exe" section is all one line until the "goto start" section which is a new line):

:start
D:
cd \Steam\SteamApps\common\Serious Sam 2\bin
DedicatedServer.exe +lan 0 +port 25600 +fps 120 +sessionname "My Dedicated Server Name" +level "Content/SeriousSam2/Levels/01_Mdigbo/1_1_Jungle/1_1_Jungle.wld" +rconpass "myrconpassword" +gameoptions "Content/SeriousSam2/Config/DedicatedServer.cfg"
goto start

4) I created a shortcut to the batch file under my Start menu
5) Click on the shortcut to SS 2 Dedicated Server.bat
6) DOS window pops up and should show "Pausing server - no players" when it's ready to go

Let me know if I missed something or if anyone has a better method of doing it.
