I want to play with my daughter, who's time is limited. So i want one server up 24/7 for her remote connection at her leisure. Now if she only plays an hour a day that does not cut it for me. So i need a SECOND Server which i can play for the other 23 hours. now you get it? one up 24/7 for my daughter and friends to access at any time.. and one i can play while waiting to play with my daughter. they don't want me in their world 24/7 incrementing the clock and getting ahead of the game.

So i need to run 2 servers dedicated on this machine i play on.. cus my other two winblows crashed installing hdhomerun software. The problem i have is that when i run a server it does not always show up in task manager. task manager when it does show up does not uniquely identify the (which) server that is running In my mind i should be able to have launch.bat and serverconfigwithsamename.xml for each server i want to run, why should i have to configure anything else.. with multiple game installs etc? if i launch separate server configs which use separate world names separate ports shouldn't it work? Is there a common file that all dedicated servers use.. which when u run 2 it is corrupted? are you Forced to use separate installs?

Rather than necromancing a topic that died 3 years ago, I split your post into a new thread.

I have a couple of questions.

1. What hardware do you have?

2. Are you going to put the dedi's on a separate PC than what you are playing on?

 
Hi, I have the same question as thornnn but it looks like the questions asked werent answered so the thread died. if possible i would like to pick up with the same scenario. i already have 1 server running for 4 or 5 friends and would like to do the same for a different set of friends. it is possible that both servers could have people playing on them at the same time.

- i have a second computer that does nothing but run the server, of an occasion google search, but its pretty free soley for the server

my server computer is:

- intel 8700k

- asus prime z370-a

- SAMSUNG E 500GB 970EVO NVME M.2 SSD

- 32 gig ripjaws 2666

- 750w psu

- ASUSCOMP GTX1080A STRIX 8GB PCIE

i- win 10 64

is it possible to run 2 servers that could be logging in to at the same time also allowing my on a different computer on my same network to log in to 1 or the other??

You could run 2 servers on that just fine. Don't need the GPU at all either if it's got an inbred chipset.

Personally I'd wipe it an run headless Linux, but Windows can be easier and supports more mods.

 
will i run in to problems since both servers would use the same IP? i can use different ports for each but when i tried the IP address seemed to cause a problem. this is where i get myself in to problems :(
