I am exchanging email with the publisher right now.

Some of this information may already be posted in here, but I haven't had time to check, soooo...

Problem with Dedicated Server and Workaround

Iron Front Dedicated Server Statement

Welcome to Iron Front dear server administrators and multiplayer fans! First the bad news: Unfortunately we have found a major problem with the dedicated server for the release version of Iron Front in the final test. We are truly very sorry about this! Luckily there is good news as well: It is possible to use the ironfront.exe from the digital version to run a dedicated server instance by using the -server parameter for now. Thanks to the rapid support by Bohemia Interactive we are also in in the process of testing a new dedicated server version that may be released at the start of the coming week along with a new client hot fix patch to have both work together smoothly. Finally in terms of the situation of the Linux server: It may still take some time to get it out. We ask you for your understanding.

Iron Front Patch Released

Note: The patch below DOES NOT address the online problem. It addresses other known issues. The dedicated server issue has been identified and already fixed by Bohemia Interactive, and a hot patch will be released for it next week after full testing this weekend.

SimHQ Iron Front Server

The SimHQ Game Server will be patched with "OFPPatch_exe_ESD_1_60.exe" so I think that makes it 1.61 (or 1.01).

Just to confirm for any Steam owners, the version you will download by default is the 1.60.0.000, version 1.01 one.

Also, if you have an issue of that 'Here's your key' Steam overlay not being able to be, um, not overlayed then you can use

Steam Library -> Iron Front -> Properties (right mouse button) -> General (tab) -> 'Enable Steam Community In-Game' (tick off).

That will then show your version number in the bottom right of the main menu screen.

Thanks FF.

For those who have the non-Steam download version, and are getting a slow connection
from the German link, try this:

I can see the server in the server list now.. Whats the password for it?

What is the password for the admin?

Only staff admins have the admin password. You can get admin by chatting:

#vote admin playername

NOTE: The SimHQ IF server is patched to this new version.

Please note that the SimHQ mirrored is not for the retail disk version. Yup I blindly downloaded and installed and now have a no valid license error

Time to reinstall.

Apologies Tigerwulf.
I didn't realize anything other than the digital download was out.
First post updated.

I will go get the disk version for mirroring.
