Clarification: Hosting Servers is FREE
Affliction Networks LLC
We wanted to put a reminder that hosting your own Swordia game(s) or server(s) is 100% free.
Simple visit https://afflictionid.com/servers or click "Host your Own Server" on the launcher.
We also updated all the lingo to further reflect this so no future misunderstandings happen.
We look forward to the communities creations!
Also as another note we pushed an engine update yesterday with the following changes:
We released a critical security fix for the Server SDK. This is to fix a vulnerability that crashes servers when used. Due to the nature of this, if you are a pre-existing server you will need to UPDATE in order to boot your server up! Copy all contents of the following folders from your previous installation to the new installation and overwrite so you lose no data:
resources usercontent folder... You will need the NEW userContent/client_strings.json file though from your new installation to fix issues.
All servers running the old version will be de-authenticated in 30 mins. Thank you Use # swordia if you have questions in our Discord.
