Im really confused lol

#

I create a private server for me and my friend to play together, its a Hvv private match and its meant for 2 people slots. I add map rotations and i give the server a name and a password then i click start and it takes me into the game.

When i ask my friend to look up the name of my server he says its not there. So i come out of the server then im greeted with the moderate/manage tab and i dont know what im doing. I still dont know how me and my friend can play on private servers together

#

how do i do that? whenever i click the windows button on my keyboard the whole thing closes

#

its so confusing to explain i do apologies

livid relic
#

Press the Windows key on your keyboard and switch to the KYBER Launcher tab

lethal locust
#

i try that but when i do that the whole thing will close down its really confusing. right now im on the moderate/manage screen for my server but i still dont know what to do 😭

#

this screen is very different from when i first created it

#

and im not sure what this whole thing is for

livid relic
#

Play?

lethal locust
#

i add bots then click on manage and click play, but then it says i was kicked because the server did not reply

livid relic
#

You can't close it

lethal locust
#

ive re opened kyber now

#

and the host screen is like this

livid relic
lethal locust
#

alright

#

done

#

now what do i do?

#

i wanna make a private hvv server for me and my friend

livid relic
lethal locust
#

do i need to set max players before starting?

livid relic
lethal locust
#

ok ill do 2 will that work?

livid relic
lethal locust
#

ill show what my screen is now

#

So here is where im gonna start the server after setting max players to 2 and i keep the name and password the same so when i click start my friend should be able to find the server after i do this?

lethal locust
#

It’s starting now

#

I’m typing through my phone just so I don’t have to use the windows key thing

#

I’m in the character select screen now

lethal locust
#

What do I need to do or what does my friend need to do now?

livid relic
#

Alternatively, you can send them a link

lethal locust
#

Ok so how do I send him the link without closing the game fully

livid relic
lethal locust
#

As when I clicked windows key it shut down the thing entirely

livid relic
#

It should just bring up the Start Menu of Windows

lethal locust
#

Now it’s on the manage screen

#

And my friend can’t find my server after looking up the name

livid relic
lethal locust
#

Oh ok

livid relic
#

Here it is

lethal locust
#

So what do I do now?

#

My friend can’t find my server

#

I sent him the link

livid relic
lethal locust
#

I clicked copy link and hes joining now, so he should appear on the light side team?

#

It said he successfully authenticated

lethal locust
#

Can I start the game now?

livid relic
#

Don't hit play

lethal locust
#

Ok

livid relic
#

Go into the game like this

#

Hover your mouse above this icon and select the game

lethal locust
#

Done

#

I’m back in the game

livid relic
lethal locust
#

Yup

livid relic
lethal locust
#

Yup

#

We are both able to play

#

Thank you for the help

#

This honesty was so confusing at first

livid relic
#

On normal servers, you just go back the game window

#

Pressing the Play button on normal servers results in them kicking you, which is the cause of the Server did not reply error

#

The UI is getting overhauled next update so hopefully this won't be an issue anymore

lethal locust
#

How do I end the game @livid relic

livid relic
#

When the hosts leaves, the game autocloses

lethal locust
#

Do I js hit quit when I click escape on the keyboard?

livid relic
#

Way quicker

#

It insta-closes it

lethal locust
#

I see

#

So if I wanna re open the private how would I go about doing that through the manage/moderate screen?

#

Because play is for dedicated servers right?

livid relic
#

Just use Start Server

#

The server disapears off of the host tab after you close it

lethal locust
#

Ahh so I have to start a new one?

livid relic
#

After ending it, the old one is gone

lethal locust
#

Ok got it thank you
