We are going to assume a fresh install. Download this quick start package and follow the instructions. To modify things like the Admins or SteamPorts see #2. Update: You do not have to be logged into Steam, it just needs to be installed and running.

To change the ports and host behind a NAT:

Engine.ini :

Port=10300
[OnlineSubsystemSteam]
GameServerQueryPort=10301

Game.ini :

[/Script/deadmatter.ServerInfoProxy]
Port=10300
SteamPort=10301
SteamQueryPort=10302
SteamQueryIP=MY PUBLIC IP

[Steam]
Port=10300
SteamPort=10301
SteamQueryPort=10302
Host=MY LOCAL IP

Multiple Servers Per Machine:

• You can have multiple instances of the DM server running on one machine

You HAVE to setup the server ports, AND database configs in a special way to run multiple servers:

Say you want to run four servers. Go into your config folder and create three copies of DMDatabase.ini:

Untitled

Edit each one to have a UNIQUE “ConnectionString” this will end up being the filename of the database:

Untitled

Create multiple shortcuts, and setup each shortcuts “target” for each server:log

-SteamServerName="Server 1" -port=7001 -queryport=7002 -DMDatabaseINI="../../../DeadMatter/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/DMDatabase.ini 
-SteamServerName="Server 2" -port=7003 -queryport=7004 -DMDatabaseINI="../../../DeadMatter/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/DMDatabase1.ini 
-SteamServerName="Server 3" -port=7005 -queryport=7006 -DMDatabaseINI="../../../DeadMatter/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/DMDatabase2.ini 
-SteamServerName="Server 4" -port=7007 -queryport=7008 -DMDatabaseINI="../../../DeadMatter/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/DMDatabase3.ini
