I’ve been noticing a lot of people complaing of getting disconnected from the main server and I’m here to clarify why. This game uses something called “Peer-to-Peer” hosting (P2P hosting), which essentially means if the host leaves, the whole server will close. This is unlike dedicated servers in other games such as Counter-Strike etc which do not need anyone to stay inside the server.
For the main server, the host is generally whoever joins first. However, since the host will obviously not stay indefinitely, once he leaves, the whole main server closes till someone else joins again. Then, this is where the comments on disconnecting occur.
Therefore, to solve this, I will be introducing a match-making system for people to just drop into public games and a server list as well. There will no longer be a “main server” due to the sheer amount of people complaining.
Thank you for your time.
