Due to numerous requests from Linux users we decided to create a global dedicated server for users of standalone versions.

It will be a basic server with global list of ongoing matches and chat.

ETA is 1 month.

Hello,

still the "problem" with iptables and port forwarding?

I'd be damned if all the news I here from Unigine are not good!

I surely hope you will add this lobby to the Steam version as well, most of the Windows versions are going to be on Steam I bet. Let's at least include an option for them to see "us" as well to not split the multiplayer community.

[binstream]

Unfortunately it's not possible to mix Steam and non-Steam network matches.

Thanks.

Unfortunately it's not possible to mix Steam and non-Steam network matches.

That's understood, what I meant was more of an option for Steam users to connect to the stand-alone lobby instead of the Steam lobby or is the Steam API so tightly interwoven into the Steam version of OilRush that this can't be done?

[binstream]

If we allow Steam users connect to standalone ones, they will lose all of the Steam features (friends, invites, ratings, achievements), which is a no-go. It is the API restriction.

hi binstream,

both features exists. Maybe a Option. If a steam user says my friend has no steam and i want to play, i switch to... If it so hard -> extra profile needed.

Please do a good job!
I know money is short and time, too. But a good multiplayer is important.
If you have an box release, you have no steam, player starts.
If he played rts and td before he starts with 1-2 easy switch to normal, play campaign in 3 hours, maybe try hard (hard is only hard because sou have no resources)
In Quick game hard is very easy -> send 1 airplane to every oil station -> enemy us always a lot of units and drive in circles -> attack one plattfrom with a 1-2 heavy bots -> enemy gets all units and you use a nuke. Get all platforms and finished.

And our stats tool will be lost ;)

By "dedicated server", do you mean a separate hardware on which regular build of Unigine will be running or do you mean a special version of the engine that will be available publicly, which every user can download and run his(her) own dedicated server at home?

[binstream]

It will be a software server running on a dedicated hardware by us.

[motorsep]

Any chance you will release dedicated sever binary (no renderer in it) for public to run their own dedicated servers?

[binstream]

We need to check if it complies with RakNet license.
