Preliminary How To Host dedicated server of Project Argo

[-_- Mr.Scary 0]

Anybody still running servers?

 

For some reason I cannot start the game if I have dedicated server active.

I didn't have this problem in the past if remember corectly, and Arma3 also worked this way.

I usually get my server running on my primary machine, then copy it over to my server.

 

I have a 1U rack server running Windows server 2003, I was wanting try it out on as well as a Windows 10 machine in the rack which I used for Arma3 and Argo in the past.

My connection is 360mb X 32mb/sec. I had 10 players on my gaming machine hosting through the game, (Not Dedicated) without issues. ran really smooth with only 21% CPU usage while also gaming..

It seems like I am not even hosting the game. it is so smooth.

 

I think the reason the game died is the over complicated registration and download process.

Friends wanted to play some gave up as we tried to walk them through the process, I believe if it was as simple as just adding it to steam library like all other games then more people would be playing.

 

I just got back into Argo about 1 day before support ended.

 

I love this game, and hate to see it go away.

 

Anyway, I am reviving my Argo server, the CMOS battery died so I am changing that tonight so my raid settings will stay.

I see a lot of nice features were added, and myself and friends are back into it.

 

Hope to see this game revived, Please fix the registration and download process.

 

It would be nice some users posting great info about settings and experiences.

I was wondering how to show all missions and maps in a list for voting.

I saw this on a server.

 

Mine just has the boxes with 9 maps.

 

Thanks all.

 

*** EDIT - Nevermind if you just leave out mission cycle, and voting settings it will default to this screen which players can choose any mission or map. available.
