Astroneer Update: DEDICATED SERVERS!

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Woot!

Los, Genom, I am willing to setup a dedicated server if you're interested. Going to look at the instructions tomorrow for setting up my own on my server box. If it's a pain I can just rent one.

Dedicated Servers

Dedicated Servers are now live in Astroneer! You can purchase them from our official server partner, Nitrado, (link to purchase) or host your own using these steps: (Astroneer host your own server instructions here) This also means that Astroneer now supports cross play (Xbox - Windows 10 - Steam) and up to 8 players when playing on official dedicated servers.

Some details about this dedicated servers in Astroneer:


Nitrado servers are the only way to play on a server and still unlock cosmetics, unlock achievements and enable cross play.
We are evaluating cross play for PS4 and hope to add that functionality at a later date.
Host your own servers will receive all the same updates as the main game
We will be offering support for host your own servers, but only related to gameplay issues. We cannot troubleshoot issues with local networks, firewalls, ports, hardware etc...
We don't currently have a linux version of the dedicated server software

I set it up last night but it didn't respond. I configured it properly. I confirmed port was open on the router and firewall. I put my gaming PC on my cellular hotspot to avoid NAT loopback issues, and still no go. There's no console at all (you have to kill it via task manager) so it's impossible to diagnose anything else.

Probably easier to rent a server, which I don't mind, it's $9.53 a month. Let me set it up and see.

I'll drop Gabesir a message on Steam, he has 50 hours into the game and might be interested. Sadly, he won't fin diamonds :)

Server's up. I'm PM'ing you the IP and password. The game will remember the password so you only need to enter it once.

Server's in Miami and I'm getting a very low ping to it.

Server supports up to 8 players if you know anyone else interested that can be trusted. I'll send Gabesir and Gorefish an invite.

Really? Sharing a landing pad? I thought we'd all land on different parts of the planet.
