Run your own server

Four steps from download to a live outpost. Full configuration reference ships in the server's README.

  1. 01

    Download the server

    Grab the dedicated server package below and unzip it anywhere on a Windows machine — a spare PC or a rented VPS both work.

  2. 02

    Open your ports

    Forward UDP/TCP 7777 (default game port) on your router or firewall so players can reach your outpost. LAN play needs no forwarding.

  3. 03

    Launch it

    Run deadclaim-server.exe with your options, e.g. --name "My Outpost" --port 7777 --max-players 16. A config file is generated on first boot.

  4. 04

    Share & deploy

    Give squadmates your public IP and port. They connect from the in-game server browser via Direct Connect. You own the wasteland.
