Multiplay over TCP/IP

FreeSpace 2 can also be played by connecting directly to a hosting game via their i.p. address.

Standalone Servers

A dedicated/standalone FreeSpace2 server can be run on the Windows platform. This is enabled with the -standalone option. Currently, standalone servers do not work properly on FS2_Open.

Some options for the standalone server can be specified in the multi.cfg file located in your FreeSpace2\data\ directory. For example, this simple multi.cfg file gives a default game name for a standalone server of "Nova Cafe":

+name          Nova Cafe
