Couldn't find a thread that lists the server hosting companies. If there is one, please post a link here. If not, I thought we could use a thread dedicated to server hosting companies that will be renting servers.
does anyone know who will be renting servers on release day?

[evil_mercenary]

the game doesn't use dedicated servers *yet*. also, the game is still in beta, and not released. i would not expect companies to pick up on it until after the official release date. As it stands, that is May 3rd. however that is subject to change if required.

Yes at this time we do not have dedicated servers, however when a player hosts a match it should show up in the list. stay tuned

[Geronimo]

I'm confussed now.

[...] and to answer your question dedicated servers should be up and running sometime this weekend - (if they aren't already).

[Tonez]

Just confirmed the dedicated servers will be in beta, just not at this moment. stay tuned.

My server host would like to get more info to see if they can host the game. What should he do?

Thanks, I sent him a message. Hopefully the server providers can get the Dedicated server codes so they can start taking part in the testing and we can have servers on release day.

Kedhrin's reply concerning the dedicated server files:

"Just got them working, we're succesfully the first developers to get it working in CryENGINE 3 we gotta get it through some testing then we'll get it in the beta within the next few days."
Looks like we will have dedicated server. Good job guys

Is there any news about what OS the server will run on? Will there be a linux version?

i believe they said windows only

As for linux, I don't think the cryengine actually supports it at all. And I'd imagine it may be a task beyond illfonics realms and only Crytek would have the capabilities to integrate it.

However seeing as illfonic have developed stand alone dedicated server files and spectator mode I guess anything is possible

I have asked NFO to carry Nexuiz servers. They said they would look into it once more information became available. They are my GSP of choice even if higher price (they usually prove you get what you pay for). If they don't offer Nexuiz hosting outright then it's VDS time.

Also, very important question I would like answered; What are the bandwidth and system requirements for Nexuiz servers and if possible, per slot?

I have also requested a server thru NFO. John is in contact with Kedhrin and is waiting for the dedicated server codes/files. If the game can be hosted, NFO will host it.

Hey, that's great! NFO is truly the best GSP in the United States! Thanks for telling them about Nexuiz =D I'm thrilled to use them for hosting =D They are super helpful, up front, and all around nice people.

So far no news on the dedicated server codes/files. I gotta feeling we won't have dedicated servers. I think someone dropped the ball here.

they have confirmed it will have dedicated server files, just wait till its release tomorrow

The server hosting companies have not received anything about the dedicated files/codes yet. If they aren't released to them soon we won't have the servers up in time for the release.The also stated that they would be in the demo and they weren't, that's why I said "I gotta feeling we won't have dedicated servers"

[evil_mercenary]

geronimo, i know for a fact that the dedicated server is being released with the main game tomorrow. I know it was said that it'd be in the beta, but there were a few setbacks. It *is* being released.

I have no info on any hosting companies though.
