    Why would it not be?
    This is the same server we have been using all along, with some polishing (read: a ton of it).
    It was clearly said that dedicated servers and integration into Uber Server list is not yet released, so it was used on own risk and with no guarantee it works (I think they are actually listing it via PA-stats nework).
    As long as you got the hardware to run it a 40 man game, you can run a 40 man game.

    Oh my good, it is full of commanders!

    Any news on what the replay ID is/will be? Any casts being planned?

    They should rethink how the commander list is rendered if 40-player games are going to be a thing.

    We can't do this every day I am afraid.

    No, there is a server parameter that makes it store a replay file and a parameter that makes it open a replay file.
    The lobbyid that PA Stats shows for these games btw is a fake, I generate one since PA Stats needs it to manage the game. Playfab does not know of it the lobbyid I generate.

    I got the game up and marshall had to leave before the game ended so I don`t know if he saved his side of the footage

    I guess the parameter is "--output-dir "+ a path ?

    Personally I made myself this link on the desktop:
    When I set up a server first using the link and then hit "create local game" in the PA.exe it will spawn another server, but will take the already existing instance (wich has all the parameters I want too). I guess adding a output dir parameter to that link path should be a not too hard :)
    I almost thought you just inserted the Entry into the server browser list. So it is not actually using parameters like --lobby-id. You just force it into the list edgewise, not bothering to tell the uber servers the game exists.

    Tried to send you something but I don't see a donate button anywhere on your site. Give us a PayPal address or something. We had a lot of fun.
