Creating a BATALLION 1944 game server can be done with either a dedicated server or a home computer or hosted and rented from a server provider.

Option #1: Renting a BATALLION 1944 server (see example control panel below!)

Control panel.gif

Option #2: Creating a BATALLION 1944 Server From Your Home Computer or Dedicated Server

Server Requirements

Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Server 2008, Server 2012 & 64-Bit

Quad Core processor (requires up to 2 full cores)

Up to 16GB memory (currently uses around 6GB memory minimum and up to 15GB of memory for a full server)

2GB disk space (install folder)

Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015

Step 1: Fetching Game Server files from Static Link

Latest server version: 10849

The best method to get game server dedicated hosting files is via Download for Windows or [ Linux Download for Linux]

  1. Create a folder where you wish to store your BATALLION 1944 game server hosting files
  2. "C:\battalion1944server"
  3. Place all of the files in this directory

Step 2: Setting up a BATALLION 1944 Dedicated Server

  1. Create a batch file named BATALLION1944Server.bat in your newly created folder (Step 1)
  2. Place the following code in this batch file:
start "C:\battalion1944server\WindowsServer\Binaries\Win64\BattalionServer-Win64-Shipping.exe" /Game/Maps/Final_Maps/Derailed?Game=/Script/ShooterGame.BombGameMode?listen -broadcastip="<EXTERNAL_IP>" -PORT=<DESIRED_PORT> -QueryPort=<DESIRED_PORT + 3> -log -defgameini="../../../DefaultGame.ini"
  1. Replace <EXTERNAL_IP> with 0.0.0.0 if you are running on your home PC or your dedicated server IP if on a server
  2. <DESIRED_PORT> with your desired game port
  3. <DESIRED_PORT + 3> with your desired game server query port

Step 3: Port Forwarding

Add two incoming rules to your Windows Firewall to allow UDP port <DESIRED_PORT> as well as <DESIRED_PORT + 3> (or whichever port you are using).

You may additionally need to add a forwarding rule to your network router. You can use PortForward.com to read how to do this.

How to Join Your Server (SurvivalServers.com Customers)

STEP 1: Update your server to the newest BATALLION 1944 version, then click the green update button at the bottom of the panel. * If you are not a Survival Servers customer ask your game server host about this.

In the DefaultGame.ini supplied you will see the following:

+ModeRotation=/Script/ShooterGame.TDMGameMode
+ModeRotation=/Script/ShooterGame.DOMGameMode
+ModeRotation=/Script/ShooterGame.CTFGameMode
+ModeRotation=/Script/ShooterGame.BombGameMode
+MapRotation=Coastal
+MapRotation=Derailed
+MapRotation=Liberation
+MapRotation=Manorhouse_V1
+MapRotation=Manorhouse_V2
+MapRotation=Battery
+MapRotation=Outpost

Add, remove from the above to control map rotation. To have a random rotation (modes randomized as well) set the following variable to true RandomMapRotationEnabled

Setting up your Server on the Aim Map

Add to MapRotation:

+MapRotation=AimMap_01
