Be careful! He will claim this steam guide and his website belongs to him.

This guide still is not valid until dedicated servers are released (not sure when)

[Nobot]

btw, this guide doesn't work. after following the steps, it does gather the files, but what are you even supposed to do at that point? on a legitimate server environment (windows server 2016) it gave a .dll error (says missing .dll) after fixing that by downloading some microsoft visual c++ shit, it still says to run the application you need steam downloaded on the machine anyway. there is no server.bat file nor does this guide provide that. not even sure if it would work with one either.

[Konomi☆Nanasaki]

even at the time this guide was made it was known that cubeworld will support multiplayer via steam

[Starbuster]

Gonna fave this for when it gets updated, a useful resource to have

[HumanGenome]

Please note that this guide is really geared toward the 2013 version of Cube World and I will be updated it when the files are available for the Steam version!

[HumanGenome]

You need the steamcmd.exe in there, I am adding instructions for that.

[Ashkon]

Why the start "" in the beginning? It just opens a extra cmd and closes it immediatly after for nothing.

Will update this guide when the server files are released. Stay tuned folks!
