It should be perfectly fine to use the same authkey to host a Dedwinia server and to play the game, as long as you don't host. The way I see it, an authentication key entitles you to a) play the game and b) host games and c) both at the same time, and I see nothing wrong with doing a) and b) with different software
(That's my interpretation. The keys are from IV and are verified by communicating with the metaserver; they absolutely have a right and the technical means (if server and game run on different public IPs) to disagree. But it worked that way for Defcon.)

Depends. There are multiple server instances running at the same time (worst case, up to five, but in practice never more than two active games and one in the lobby), but only one of them is visible. As soon as a game is started, servers may vanish from the list.streaky81 wrote:So no multiple hostings on the same key going on?
Linux built with GCC 3.4 and above, OS X Tiger and up, Windows 2000 and up.streaky81 wrote:Btw, any technical details available, i.e. mostly what OS we're talking about?

Never knew that, always thought there only be one dediwinian server up at a time
Since when I see a dediwinian thats grayed out, theres never another one ready :/
Or has it being grayed out have nothing to do with its playing a game, just full/starting?

For those with access, a new build (svn829) is up, fixing the connection errors people with large pings are getting.
(I'll just post the updates here. Saves me work. I'll say something extra when there also is a Mac build; doing one requires that I snatch the Powerbook from my wife. That said, no Mac build this time, only Linux and Windows.)
