Announcing Major Update 3 - Dedicated Servers & Public Server Lists - 23rd May!

Dear Players,

On the 23rd May 2022, we are releasing Major Update #3, including dedicated servers, public server lists, and mods-over-wire support!

From the 23rd May, you will be able to host and join public dedicated server games! This has been a popular and frequent request from players and we are really excited to introduce this to Carrier Command 2.

The new dedicated servers allow hosting multiplayer games without running the client. These servers are designed for non-attended operation and will automatically restart as required. Servers have various options and can be passworded, or otherwise open to anyone.

Dedicated servers will appear in the new public games server list in game, and in the Steam server browser. From the new public server list, players will be able to see a list of all dedicated servers, player counts, if they are modded, etc. and be able to join these servers.

Any modifications installed on the server are automatically downloaded and synchronized to all clients (for both dedicated and locally hosted games) meaning that servers can be run with their own custom modded content, and all players will see and use that same content.

This makes modding much more multiplayer friendly, where mod creators can have confidence that all players in a game are running the same mods, and players are not required to subscribe to join multiplayer games.

We are very excited for the big release and can't wait to share it soon! See you on the 23rd May for the big release!

Much love <3,

The Carrier Command Developers
