#I need help hosting my first private server for me and my friend
101 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
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
When you exit your server, it closes down
Your server is there, your friend just can't find it
You can send them a link
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
Minimise the game window without closing it
Press the Windows key on your keyboard and switch to the KYBER Launcher tab
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 ðŸ˜
this screen is very different from when i first created it
and im not sure what this whole thing is for
And what do you want to do from here?
Play?
i add bots then click on manage and click play, but then it says i was kicked because the server did not reply
When you started the server, did you close the game window?
You can't close it
no i had it open the entire time i saw like the command prompt doing its things and stuff
ive re opened kyber now
and the host screen is like this
Yea and click + New
alright
done
now what do i do?
i wanna make a private hvv server for me and my friend
Start Server
do i need to set max players before starting?
But you have to remember, when you leave the match, the server will close
The server is online as long as the host is online
Yes
ok ill do 2 will that work?
Yes
ok before i start the server
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?
Yes
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
Yes
What do I need to do or what does my friend need to do now?
Find the server on the server list
Alternatively, you can send them a link
Ok so how do I send him the link without closing the game fully
Press the Windows key
As when I clicked windows key it shut down the thing entirely
Send a picture
It should just bring up the Start Menu of Windows
Now it’s on the manage screen
And my friend can’t find my server after looking up the name
It didn't close
Oh ok
If you want to send them the link, first click this X
I clicked copy link and hes joining now, so he should appear on the light side team?
It said he successfully authenticated
You can switch their team
Ok
Did you start it?
Yup
And it's working?
Yup
We are both able to play
Thank you for the help
This honesty was so confusing at first
It's just because the Play button is only meant for dedicated servers
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
How do I end the game @livid relic
Leave the server
When the hosts leaves, the game autocloses
Do I js hit quit when I click escape on the keyboard?
I use ALT + F4
Way quicker
It insta-closes it
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?
You can't
Just use Start Server
The server disapears off of the host tab after you close it
Ahh so I have to start a new one?
Yes
After ending it, the old one is gone
Ok got it thank you
