Install "No Love Lost Dedicated Server" from the Steam library tools[/b] You need to add the "Tools" category to the library filter dropdown to be able to see it, by default Steam only shows the “Games” category.

Edit the launch options[/b] The server needs to know which ports to use so that it is accessible, and which name should be shown when searching for sessions. Right click on “No Love Lost Dedicated Server” in the library then go to properties, and edit the launch options. E.g.: [i]-port=7777 -queryport=27015 -servername="My Server Name"[/i] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//43311144/c43db035d9522662b36a4fafc51836175dd9b5a1.png[/img] [b]-port=xxx / -queryport=xxx :[/b] these options are mandatory, the two ports specified need to be different and must be opened on the router (cf. next section). [b]-servername=”xxx” :[/b] mandatory, the server name as it will appear in the session list. [b]-serverpassword=”xxx” :[/b] optional, this will make the server private, only accessible to players who know the password. [b]-log :[/b] optional, by default the server will run silently in the background, you can add the option “-log” to open the server in a command prompt window. Note that closing this window will shut the server down. [b]3. Make the server available to the internet[/b] In order to allow other players to connect to your server, you will need to make sure your router is configured correctly to allow traffic to both ports. You need to set up port forwarding on the router or hosting service, and may have to adjust the firewall settings of the router or the OS. Required ports: game port (TCP/UDP) : 7777 query port (UDP): 27015 These are the default values, you can change them using the [b]-port[/b] and [b]-queryport[/b] options. [b]4. Start the server[/b] Simply start and stop it from the Steam library. As the server is in “anonymous mode” you can play the game from the same steam account and connect to your own server.
