Dedicated Servers

[Stlkrash]

Any word on Ded Servers? My data center is looking forward to the new IL2.

I would also be interested to know what hardware I need to put to one side for a couple of servers .... or will we find out once it is released? Is it all top secret or what?

It's probably about 7 months until release candidate, there are still many more months before the client is completed.

 

If you want a baseline, check RoF's dedicated server requirements.

I ran ROF alfa servers in the USA when t first came over. Before public release of any kind, and if it is the same as that, how can it be a new engine? it's dual core. It's kind of confusing. I asked this to others so hopefully in the near future we will some kind of actual BOS specs. I don't agree with the use ROF stuff personally. But I see their point right now using it as a basic bench mark. When ROF alfa was still new it was bugged up a bit network side. But it was fixed and updated rather well and pretty fast.

RoF alpha dedicated server is not the same as it's current form.

 

BoS is built on the RoF engine, so agree or not - look at RoF's current form and gauge on that.

Does this mean there will be no online gameplay to start with when the beta is released? Or am I missing the point completely? (normal for me)

I expect that there will be a dedicated server, just as for RoF. Syndicate is planning to host an alpha dedicated server from day 1, actively building new mp missions. So yes, there should definitely be online gameplay!
