I eventually got a server running and was able to play with a few of my friends, but it wasn’t an easy process as all the information to do it was either badly written, fragmented over multiple different websites or seemed to require a lot of prior knowledge.Īfter getting it to work I decided to write my own guide here for people who want to do the same thing but who, like me, had never really messed around with servers and IP’s and ports before. Machine game mode in TF2 (that I blogged about here) I decided to try and set up my on TF2 server in the hope of being able to play without having to wait in line with everyone else.
