However, to obtain the game server files, at least one Steam account needs to have a valid license. Note: In order to run a dedicated server, server providers don’t require a licensed copy of the game. You don’t need an extra Steam account, you get Space Engineers dedicated servers for free with your existing Space Engineers account. This will result to a faster connection and a more fluent multiplayer performance with less lag.ĭedicated servers are available for everyone who owns Space Engineers. They don’t depend on any player and they run without render and visual/audio effects.
They are game instances intended for long time multiplayer games.
Dedicated servers in Space Engineers allow players to connect to a third party host, rather than using a player-host, in a peer-to-peer set-up.
