Direct Connection to Festers Via the Lobby

[BBloke]

Most know that you can't or find it hard to use the game lobby to setup a game and connect into Festers. Well, Dharma found something that should cure this for everyone.

You have to use the console to set a cvar but it should get you from the lobby to Festers without to much hassle.

The command is: mm_dedicated_force_servers

You have to specify ip:port but you can set more than one option if you wish.

For Main Server 8 vs 8 you'd need:

Code: Select all

mm_dedicated_force_servers "81.19.209.142:27017"

For the backup 4 vs 4 Server do:

Code: Select all

mm_dedicated_force_servers "81.19.209.142:27018"

Nice find Dharma. WTG!

EDIT: old cvar has been changed. Post amended to reflect.

That a boy Bloke.. and WTG to me for remembering to ask Bloke to look into it hehe... self praise!!!

[Johnimus Prime]

is this something you can copy and paste into the program files?

[BBloke]

you could quick it yous autoexec config file but you could only use one considering the different server setups. If you only want to play 4 v 4 then it would be a good idea.
