We start the test of the dedicated server.
I'm sorry it took so long.
I hope many users participate.
Thank you!



Prerequisites
64-bit Windows
Steam client
SteamCMD

Install

• Install SteamCMD on your host.
  
• Launch SteamCMD on your host and use it to download the server files.(Remove the < > and replace them with double quotes, for example, force_install_dir "C:\NOTDServer")
  (app id : 1420710)

Port
We basically use the two ports below.
UDP 27015 : Game query port
UDP 7777 : Game client port

Set the ports as an exception in the firewall.
Open these ports through Port-Forwarding.

If you would like to change the port you are using, the next step will explain how to change the port.

Host

1. In the installed folder, open "ServerSettings.ini" to edit as desired.
   Please change the default in each section to the desired value.
   for example :
   [ServerSettings]
   ServerName=MyServerName
   [SystemSettings]
   SaveName=MySave
   [GameSettings]
   Difficulty=Legend
   NoTeamKill=True
   
   
2. Run StartServer.bat
   a. (Optional) If you want, you can edit StartServer.bat to change which port you use.(for example : LF\Binaries\Win64\LFServer.exe ?listen -log -Port=7779 -QueryPort=27016)
   
   
3. Save file location : \LF\Saved\SaveGames
   You can save and load the save file by matching SaveName (in [SystemSettings]) and the save in the above location.
