Greetings Bierzerkers! In the 1.05 we will be limiting our official servers to US West. However, we have added the ability for you to launch a local dedicated server directly from inside the game. After the server starts it will be accessible to anyone through the server browser as long as you have opened the proper ports on your router. Forward your router ports: 7788-7789 27028 15008 for both TCP/UDP.
We have also added the ability to launch the game over LAN without connecting to servers on Steam. The local dedicated server functionality works over LAN as well without the need to open any of the router ports. After the server has launched it will show up for anyone on your local network.
With these changes we have updated the way progression is stored. It now has the ability to be updated to store progression both online and offline so all of your unlocks will be available to you whether you are playing on Steam or over a LAN.
