OUTLAST MULTIPLAYER - COOP ( YES ITS POSSIBLE! ) WITH PROOF OF CONCEPT!

[⎛⎝Snek🐍⎠⎞]

Hi Im Snake4life,

My goal was to establish a connection to another instance of outlast ( Unreal Engine 3.5 is great because even the Singleplayer version is running on a listen Lan Server! )

OK what I got so far:

-starting a dedicated server instance of outlast
-starting the client and connect to the server

Whats the problem:

-Server is crashing after Spawning!

Here is the Setup you can see the Server running in a Terminal and the Original Outlast client on the right side connected to the server.

How I did this:

To start the Server add these parameters to he Outlast exectuable:

YOUR FOLDERS TO OUTLAST\Outlast\Binaries\Win64\OLGame.exe" server Sewers_01.udk?DEDICATED=true?bIsLanMatch=0?bRequiresPassword=0

And to get the Client connecting to the server + log window:

YOUR FOLDERS TO OUTLAST\Outlast\Binaries\Win64\OLGame.exe" 127.0.0.1 -log

OK great! Outlast has a build in dedi Server in the Gamefiles. But I think a second spawn is missing on every map thats why its crashing.

I want to drop this in here to let you guys know about my findings, maybe someone is more experienced in map editing or unreal engine itself to get this working. I wish I could play with another friend in this game SOOOOO MUCH!

And I think its only working with the 64bit binaries. 32bit was giving me strange errors.

Here some unreal engine docs:

Hope you guys keep this alive!!!!

If it ever does come to anything, I would be honoured to try it with you, if that idea sounds good.

Before games did prove that co-op horror games can indeed be scary, Amnesia - The Dark Descent community was quick to tell how it isn't a good idea because another person would ruin the horror experience. Then again, we mainly get playable monster co-op games so yeah, they might be half-right.

While I don't particularly like Amnesia as a horror game and have never found it scary, they are right that it significantly harms the horror experience. It's a pretty common thought among a much broader group of people than fans of one specific game that horror works better alone.

Honestly i think ruining the experience for each other is the best part.
