Dedicated Servers?

[dillmc7743]

Are there any plans to make a dedi server version. I'd love to run a few of these on our box.

You can run it dedicated using 

openrct2 --headless --port 11753 <saved game path>

You should note though, that multiplayer is not yet stable enough to let a server run without supervision, as it can (and likely will) crash.

And even if it doesn't crash, the map on it could become corrupted and crash any clients that connect.

I'm still kinda new to the multiplayer aspect of the game. I've come across people talking about crashing multiple times now. Could someone clarify for me? Are you referring to the whole computer crashing, as in Windows and all? Or the game and its files. Or just the park from people being idiots.

The game crashing, this doesn't crash your OS, if it did then we would have been taken down years ago.

Game crashes do not generally effect the files; it just means the game shuts down and provides an error code, and sometimes files related to the crash are saved in a location.
