Without SurvivalServers

Running a Sniper Elite 4 dedicated server yourself takes quite a bit more setup:

System Requirements

• Windows. Rebellion ship no Linux build of the Sniper Elite 4 dedicated server, so a Windows machine is the only option
• Around 14GB of disk space for the server files, plus room for logs
• A machine you are willing to leave running whenever your group wants to play
• Modest hardware by shooter standards. An idle server sits near 270MB of memory and the 12-player cap keeps the load light, so latency to your players matters far more than raw CPU
• A stable connection with five ports forwarded per server
• SteamCMD for headless installs

Installation

• Install the Sniper Elite 4 Dedicated Server via SteamCMD (App ID 568880). It installs anonymously, so you do not need a second copy of Sniper Elite 4 on Steam to run it.
• Forward five ports per server and add matching firewall rules: the lobby port your players connect to (TCP), the update port that also answers server browser queries (UDP), the game data port (UDP), the Steam authentication port (UDP) and the remote console port (TCP). Every one of them has to be unique per instance.
• Settings live in a plain text config file you pass to the server with -exec. It is a script of console commands rather than a key and value file, so line order matters, and every port command has to appear before the line that starts hosting or it is silently ignored.
• The player cap has to be written before hosting starts and cannot be changed on a running server. The engine hard caps at 12 whatever number you write, and it clamps quietly with nothing in the log to tell you.
• The map rotation is built by hand, one line per map and mode, with optional time and score limits per entry. Four of the ten maps do not support No Cross, and an unsupported pairing has to be kept out of the rotation.
• Never launch the server from the Steam client. Rebellion document that doing so breaks client authentication, so the executable has to be started directly with its working directory set to the install root.
• Players find you in the in-game server browser once the server has registered with Steam. Sniper Elite 4 has no direct connect field, so a server that is not answering queries is a server nobody can join.

Administration

• Remote admin runs over Rebellion's own web console rather than Source RCON. The console address, port and password all have to be set in the config before hosting begins, and the listen command toggles, so issuing it twice turns remote admin back off.
• Once connected, admin commands cover kick, ban by name, index or SteamID, unban, broadcast messages, map rotation control and forcing a round to start or end.

Why Wait? Use SurvivalServers Instead

• Instant provisioning on enterprise NVMe SSD hardware with DDoS protection across 8 global datacenters
• Your config is rebuilt from our control panel on every start, in the right order, so nothing you set can be lost or silently ignored
• Ten maps and eight game modes, with a ready made rotation per mode, a mixed All Modes rotation, and a custom builder with per map time and score limits
• All eight official gameplay presets, from Casual through Regular and Hardcore to Pure Sniper, plus per option overrides for bullet drop, wind, scope glint, friendly fire and more
• Automated restarts, scheduled backups, server logs and full FTP access on day one
• Remote console details are handed to you in the panel, so you can administer the server from anywhere
• No SteamCMD wrangling, no port forwarding, no firewall rules, no Windows updates to babysit
