***How To Host Your Own Server After The Shutdown***

[Blashted™]

Since we are lacking a good amount of North American servers for Bad Company 2 now, I figured I would share this important information here.

From NoFaTe over on VeniceUnleashed:

How to set up a dedicated server on Project Rome:

So you want to setup your own dedicated server in which people can play on?
Here's how to do it.

Requirements:

An internet connection
BFBC2 R34 Server Files (have to find these on your own online)
Latest Project Rome client hook

Instructions:

Create a folder called BFBC2 Server or similar at a location of your choice
In that folder, create folders called bin and instances (if you plan to use B3, also create a folder called b3)
Download the server files and extract them in the bin folder
Download our client hook and extract dinput8.dll from the archive (NexusBF.bXXX.zip) into the bin folder
Get a fresh instances folder and extract the content into the instances folder you created in step 1
After that you can modify the ServerOptions.ini file (in the instances folder, again) to change the name of the server, the remote administration password and configure other options. If you want to run your server in Vietnam mode, uncomment the last two lines (i.e. remove the #)
Now download the StartServer.bat and place it in the root folder (where the bin and instances folders are)

Have fun hosting!
