I currently play windrose with 2 other friends of mine (we only have one world for now). Since I am host, if i go offline, then they are immediately kicked out of the world. Is there a way for me to allow my friends to host so that, when i get offline, they can host and continue playing? I'm not asking for a dedicated server, instead how do i allow others to host

#

can i ask as to why? Is it just infeasible? @rocky horizon

#

given that other games ive played (enshrouded) this is possible

I'm not sure I'm aware how this functionality works in Enshrouded

i believe in that game I just transferred a save file, specifically for the world

#

i know a world folder exists for this game, so i was curious if I provide my friend that folder, will it work
