Do I need the Server

[Danpapua]

Hey,
I am new to Project reality and I am wondering if I need the server files to run a Private LAN game with some of my buddies.
Thanks,

[IINoddyII]

Yes.

Please keep in mind

User Licenses are for individual users, clans, and other small organizations who wish to host public and/or private (passworded) Project Reality Servers. By default, a single User License is allowed to add up to 3 game servers and 5 license moderators. These servers must be internet facing (i.e. respond to server queries), and hosted at a data-centre. We do not issue licenses for home hosted or LAN-only servers.

Full requirements are detailed here


I think some people get around this by creating a vpn and connecting to a local game... but I don't know anything about that sorry.

All the server files for a LAN or Private (passworded, but publicly available) game are included in the files you already have for a game.

However, you need the DEV team's approval to run a public game. With such approval they will give you the necessary file for that.

Ok thanks for the helpful information.

You can run a dedicated server on your own pc / LAN server, or simply host a game on your game pc (without it being a dedicated server). No problems there, the only rule you have to follow is: have fun!

I had fun with Hamachi

Hamachi and Tunngle simplify things. I, however, am of Greek and German descent so I chose the hard way: port forwarding or DMZing in my router.
