They will surely exist. The question is if they will be public…

Do people still use this dinosaur OS to run servers? Seriously?

sounds confused to me

Windows 8… nuff said.

(Nail) #67

LOL, I’d rather run on OSX

In-case it wasn’t clear I was trolling it, thought it was universally accepted that Microsoft dropped the ball big time on this.

was agreeing, dislike Snapple

Linux and or unix are the standard O/S for servers, because they work

that said, not sure UnReal engine does linux

(TacTicToe) #71

From what I understand from a lot of other developers, there is no native unix for Unreal. People have been able to get their servers to run via Wine, but it is always a bit unstable.

FWIW I run Win 2008 R2 64bit on my box, and it seems pretty standard for me, and works flawlessly. At least so far.

Most of the Internet servers run on Linux. So yes.

Dedicated servers sounds fun, ban those filthy hackers

But I don’t think the server have to run the Unreal engine because you are not rendering any graphics on it.

[QUOTE=MoonOnAStick;421737]Good news Badman, but it seems people want to know:

  • Will players be able to rent servers?
  • Will 3rd parties be able to offer DB servers for rent?
  • Will anybody be able to download a binary and setup their own server?[/QUOTE]

Will there be LAN (off-line) mode ?

I’m tired of having 2 versions of all my games (the “legal” one to play online and the “LAN” one)… :frowning:

(Kl3ppy) #76

My guess is that DB will have a LAN mode. Im not sure about Brink, but ET and ETQW had LAN modes so I guess DB will ahve it too.

(jamiewalker) #77

if there is no dedicated servers, i will UN-install, write dirty bomb on a piece of paper and burn it symbolically and never play it again. and when I tell the story to my grandchildren I will tell them of a legendary game company that burned me twice (Brink included) but i will still be wearing a enemy territory T.

  • 10 and hopefully also linux server binaries
(Kl3ppy) #79

Dont blame anybody else than yourself when you got tricked by the same man/company twice :tongue:

But Badman already said that the alpha is running on dedicated servers. I think the 1.0 will also run on dedicated servers

…true…true…puts lighter slowly back into pocket
