Host my own server in 0.9?

[Santi.]

One of the things i want by far is to have the oportunity to host my own server FREE in my pc to hang around with my friends a moment or so.
In the current state of the game and since i play it, i have more than 3k hours, if we want that, we need to pay monthly to host a server and it is expensive for me and my friends to do that.
We cant aford that.
Please add that option to the game. Its a big change that could atract new players. ;)

The devs have said that they will not consider this until after the 1.0 release.

As stated in the past, the dedicated server files will be released when the contract between G-Portal and Gamepires runs out. Gamepires is not allowed to speak about the conditions in this contract, wich also includes when it is ending. What is sure is that the files will be released when the game hit's 1.0. Everything else would be illegal.

my ping to both Gamepires and Gportal are terrible DEVs please release files as soon as you can people are dying to play this game with low ping

Over 100 million $$ in sales and they need to make deals with these puny hosts to secure more dosh.

Been waiting since release now and this obvious collusion still continues.

I agree, I bought the game itself, and I usually get all of the DLC packs whenever I get a game but am holding out on a dedicated server release before getting the rest of the content. I've honestly played around 40hrs or so of this game and enjoy it but I usually go after the multiplayer aspect of these games and host dedicated servers for my friends in my discord group, and we refuse to pay hosting services who provide a less than desirable experience a dime. A couple of us have enterprise server hardware that we would instead use in hour homes with symmetrical fiber connections or we would instead use something like Amazon's EC2 service to host a game server. We have moved on to other games that allow this hosting for our group, but we are watching release updates on this one with hopes of a dedicated server release because the gameplay is enjoyable.

Wait for a new DLC call Dedicated Server Unlock xD

+1 .Patiently waiting for this one feature! The game and updates are looking amazing! I have mostly waited to even play the game as the updates keep coming lol. I will be really pissed and never play the game if private server files are not released at some point. A game called Ylands even yanked private dedicated servers as time went on in early access. I'll never play that game again or support the devs that made that decision . Free private dedicated server files are the future for any good MP PC game. Good Devs understand this!

I highly doubt it. EU/UK 10 slot server for 30 days cost $10. If you are going to deploy your own server in let's say DigitalOcean (which is not very expensive), you have to pay $20 for 2GB/2CPU VPS server. So there is a very little benefit out of hosting these servers until you are a huge company hosting incredible amount of them on huge machines and you can benefit of some servers idling.

I don't know how much SCUM is demanding and I would really like to play around with the server hosting myself, so I'm also waiting for v1 release and hoping they will make private hosting available. Would be awesome to create a one click deployment of a server.

still waiting for the option to create/host a dedicated server.. its a shame.. lots of games has the option to do that like valheim, survive the nights, etc etc the list is long. And those games still in development, theyre not finished, like scum. So, i dont see why the devs are not including that. The only reason i imagine is they seems to have economical benefits with gportal and all the companies who charge you for a server.

sorry for my bad english.

Just because others do it doesn't mean it's mandatory. The developers decide in the end when it is right to make the server files available. They also do not receive any benefits or % from the server providers.

The main focus is on the development of the software, that everything is what it should be and that everything works as it should. If the game is then in the release from the EA for 1.0, it is much more plausible to tackle it when most of the side projects are then also completed.

Nothing changed in that regard yet. We're focused on bringing the game to its 1.0 version. Once we're there, we'll be able to share more on this topic.
