Hey Guys!!! Help with Running Dedicated LAN Only Server?

[Demonis77]

Hey everyone, stoked to have hooked up with the community as loved playing BF2 back in the day at LAN's and Online. We are looking at running an old school LAN at the end of June and I'm trying to establish is there a DED Server that can be setup up for private LAN only sessions?

I have started applying for the Server License but it asks for an IP and such indicating its an online server. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

You don't need a Server License to host locally - just run the server on one of the LAN boxes, give every LAN machine that box's IP address, and you're good to go. Might want to test everything before the event, ofc.

It sorta works, but no Mumble, no map markers, no area attacks, no other Python shenanigans... Not a true PR experience.

Hey, late to the party. The link above does not seem to work anymore. Can someone give me some pointers to set up a local dedicated server? Thanks!
