Tutorial - How to make a Dedicated Server (Batch File)
Dexxtter:
If someone wanted to host a dedicated server why didn't they just install the shortcuts when they installed the game? Why use a batch file anyway?

A common mistake that people make when trying to join their dedicated server is that they hit the "Query Internet" button when selecting "Join a game". Most of the time when you do this you will encounter an error. You need to hit "Query LAN" and join the server there.

When I hit "Query LAN" my server is not there, I have to use "Connect To IP" and use the IP 127.0.0.1:28000. I haven't seen anyone else with this issue.

That's not a "mistake," that just means that the server is not available online.

Its just another method to make a dedicated server for people who do not want to re-install the game...I am pretty sure I covered this already.
