[(Mini)Release] Sacred 2 Gold dedicated Server

[Zorno]

Hey guys,

for the nostalgic ones of you, i release the dedicated server for Sacred 2 Gold Ice and Blood version 2.65.1 (18 oct 2009)
Its just the dedicated Server, which can run on Windows xp to windows 10 and on Linux and mac using wine or bootcamp.
For playing you need the client (the full Version of the game) which i cant share because its not free (buy it somewhere or google elamigos release). Im not sure but the steam version could work too.

For starting i made a batch. You can change parameters in there, its quite easy.
In client you need to start multiplayer -> lan and check the "Show all servers"-box in upper left corner.
To make your server public, you can use VPN software (Hamachi and Tuungle work too but they suck. Learn using openVPN you lazy ... : )

As its not a huge MMORPG but more a fun to have, its more a minirelease. Maybe someone can bypass the limit to 16 players anyhow, so we could maybe create a huge Server.

Have fun :

I thought this game was single player RPG so I didn't bother back in the old days. Great sharing and hope we are able to make it 16 players. That would be enough for everyone's fun.

16 players already work fine using a VPN (so it thinks its lan instead of internet. Internetserver was closed loooong ago : )

Single player is campaign mode. If you change the 'free' in the batch to campaign, you can play campaign mode with up to 4 (or 6) players.

Hello, thank you very much for your work!


It would be absolutely great if you could upload a video to YouTube building the server or just write here by steps how to do it with openvpn or hamachi, it would be great to help me a lot and safe for others, thank you very much again!
