Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has had much joy/luck with non-dedicated/self hosted MP.
Ideally I just want to play with myself & 2 mates, coop. I tend to make my own missions & try to cut the amount of unnesscary AI down to the min (ie AI is scripted only to respond when inrange/triggered, and only so many activated at once.
Just wondering how much bandwidth is needed to support a set number of units [AI group + players].
Also I've seen it suggested that it is possible to host a dedicated server & a seperate game from the same machine (though with the poor performance I've had I'm unlikely to try that....). Any opinions?
Cheers
