You will see that shortly as we have a bit more to work on. This option isn't our dedicated server option. The server is only running when you're playing so friends wont be able to join without you. This host option is more of a co-op experience. This is not recommended for players new to networking and multiplayer games. Ports need to be opened and forwarded to allow for outside connections. This option does require quite a bit more knowhow than the solo option.

It can be placed on our public server list for all to see or you can simply share your IP with a friend and allow them to join discreetly. The host option will allow a player to start a public or privately hosted server. In game server hosting is a nice simple solution for those that want to play online with friends. Router List - Port Checker has a great router list with step by step directions for most. That being said all routers are different and you'll need to connect to yours to allow traffic through ports. Port forwarding seems like a big task but shouldn't be that difficult. If you're looking to just host locally we suggest using solo play or running a local server using ip: 127.0.0.1. Opening and forwarding ports, you'll need to do this to allow connections to your PC. Once you're there ensure Survive The Nights is allowed.
