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