softworks netcode test

To run the game on linux, make sure it is on your main hard drive and not on a USB Stick.

You might need to

chmod +x client_linux.x86_64

Then run it with

./client_linux.x86_64

Setting up a custom server

The official server will not be around indefinitely, even though I intend to keep it running as long as there is interest in the game.

If you want to setup your own server, download and run the server with

./server_linux.x86_64 --port 3011

or any other valid port (unless you know exactly what you're doing, choose a number bigger than 1024).

Open the port on your computer (linux: ufw allow 3011, windows: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-server/configure...)

If you are behind a router that does NAT (normal home network routers do), you have to forward the port: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding. You will have to find a tutorial or figure out how it works for your specific router.

Tell other players your IP Address and the port you chose so they can join your game.
