Several games on the same dedicated server

by Bisher Tarakji · in Technical Issues · 04/01/2006 (4:40 am) · 4 replies

Hello
Is it possible to run several game instances on the same dedicated server? For example, run several starter.racing games (each with different contestant players) on the same dedicated server instance?

thanks

Incorrect. He is asking a different question. The answer is no, you can not run multible servers on the same instance (I may be wrong but it makes no sense to me why or how you would be able to).

His other question was if it was possible to run several servers on the same pc (more than one instance of the engine).

Fair enough--terminology in both questions was pretty loose, and since he posted them in different sections (why not just the same section), I misread. I apologize!

:P Yeah - it seems like he has limited knowledge of the subject.
