How to host your own dedicated server to play single player

[1234]

Here are the steps to hosting your own dedicated server:

We temporarily disabled single player for the time being but fear not survivors, here are the steps to get your server up and running so you can still play single player for the time being.

-Navigate to the main menu

-Select “Host/Local”

-Adjust to desired game settings (optional)

-Select Run Dedicated Server

-Set your Server Password, Admin Password and Session Name

-Select Accept

-Allow Access through firewall and make it both private and public (if you forget to do this on the prompt you can find the settings from Control Panel>System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall > Allowed Apps (select Moonlight and make it both checked for private and public)

-A CMD prompt should start, wait a few minutes for it to say the server has successfully started.

-Leave the CMD prompt open and go back to the main menu

-Click join game

-Change the session filter to LAN

-You should be able to find your server there and join with the server password you made in the steps above

-Keep in mind you will be using the same machine client for server hosting as you will be playing on.

-If you are unable to view your server, try joining another server and then relog to see if your server shows up.

what is host server's port number ?

Port forwarding:

27015: Required for steam clients to read server information
7777-7779: Allows people to connect to your game server

Here is a sample line for the .bat used to start the server:

start ""/NORMAL "C:\SteamCMD\fearthenight\Moonlight\Binaries\Win64\MoonlightServer.exe""/Game/Moonlight/Moonlight/Content/Moonlight/Maps/Pittsburgh_Overworld?listen?Port=xxxx?SessionName=MYSERVERNAME?QueryPort=xxxxx?MaxPlayers=xx?-servergamelog -nosteamclient -game -server -log

Can you play without just install the dedicated server without installing the whole client? is there a steamcmd install or?
If I do have to use the regular client can I get the server going, exit out of the game then go onto a different computer and join the server?

It depends how you are wanting to play. Do you want to play on a separate machine and run the server on another machine? Or just do both on one machine?

Go ahead and set it up. You will not know the difference and the game itself is really good for the stage it is in. Just give them time to sort things. Even the big AAA game companies have rough launches and those are completed games.
