So, they removed the ability to Host a game?

[Rahx]

So I am looking to host a game with some friends. However it seems the only way to do that now is with port forwarding and running a seperate launcher for servers?
Am I missing something? Is there no way to host a game from within the menu of the base game?

There is a way to create a server, you just need to follow a guide.

Or, I could set one up for you! :D

Rain, how much does one of your servers cost?

[늑대 펭 (Fang)]

Yea im also interested. How to create a server?

[Rahx]

Thanks guys. But it seems you do need to run a server to do a private session. Which is cumbersom and unnecessary. I'll pass on the game

Servers don't cost a single dime, anyone can run a server aslong as they have an internet connection.

"I'll pass on the game" good on you, good to see atleast someone isn't blinded by this game for whatever reason and think its perfect.

No no, I don't rent servers. I meant I'd help him set a server up on HIS machine.

Although, if I ever were to rent servers, I'd probs make them cheaper than any other provider. Maybe around 13-14$ a month..

Of course you need a server to play with other players. How else would you join and connect with other people?

My issue is that you need to create a server on your machine. Most games have that built in. You just press 'Host' set up your game then invite friends or leave it open for randoms. With this you not only need to run a server exe, but have to make sure the right ports are listening. Too much of a hassle for something they already had.
My point is that the 'host a game' option was in the game but has been removed.

Well unlike the games you're describing Unturned isn't by a massive multi-million dollar company that can afford to host evwryones private servers.

Back when there was host option you had to port forward anyway.

The only difference between now and then is the fact that you have to start server manually instead of pressing button in the menu.

Also you can use hamachi/evolve to bypass portforward (back in time of "host" button you had to use hamachi because evolve didn't exist ;D)

There certainly is, otherwise there would literally be no servers
