Use this forum if you have a relatively general question or comment about a game, Ventrilo, TeamSpeak, or Murmur/Mumble server with us. If you have a server-specific question that might not help out the community, please directly contact us through your control panel instead.
A quick update on where we're at with the dedicated server files: There's a last-minute technical issue that we're working hard to fix. As soon as that's out of the way, the files will be made available (and that's still going to be today). It's also likely that we'll be patching the server shortly after release, but we want to get it out there as quickly as possible to allow you to configure your servers and get them ready for the carnage.
Also, Brink is now in the server filter for Steam.
Sounds like they may have worked with one GSP, then, at least at the very end. That's good, although that particular host does things differently than the rest of us (not putting servers onto their own IPs, for instance).
It's a little strange that they stopped responding to my emails, but I guess they're not familiar with NFO.

I am hoping to use NFO for my clan's brink servers. Cheers to NFO staff, they were a big help sorting issues with neotokyo updates from client patches.
So far, it seems that I was right in my prediction that IP binding would exist but not be properly tested -- +set net_ip "ip address" on the command line partially works, but not completely. IP binding is probably the #1 most overlooked feature in new game releases, since internal server testing is usually small-scale.
So far it looks like I should be able to add it, although pricing will be a total stab in the dark, and I won't be able to test the servers to make sure that clients can connect until the client is released.
There are more cvars than the guide covers, some were missed accidentally, some aren't that important so are not documented. In this case +set net_ip <ip> was missed, but works
