CaptainDawson 93 Posted August 6, 2019 Hi, I was recently donated a dedicated server. Lately me and many other players have been getting extremely tired of the repetitive spamming and griefing that goes in the official servers. Now that I have access to my own server, I'd like to see if I can set up an unofficial server running similar missions to the official ones. The idea being that I will set up my own trusted admins to attempt to keep the missions at least playable. Make changes to the default Warlords, like re-balancing sectors and addressing the camping tactics etc. However, I have very little experience with setting up servers, besides making a few temporary servers on my PC. My question is, is it feasible for me to make a workable dedicated server setup using a residential router and internet setup? Can a server host 40-60 players using the average household network hardware, or do I need the "latest and greatest" network and server equipment to expect to host large missions like on the official servers? Do I need to be concerned with setting up advanced security firewalls and such, or does Battleye handle everything? Would I need to take measures to protect my home network, etc? I am currently testing the server on LAN. Any tips on setting up a server, besides what is already on the forum? Any help appreciated, thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
