Battlefield 1943 Reborn Server Manager

Your servers

Each server is one match with its own name, maps and port. Players find a listed server in the game's server browser.

Network

Where your servers are, and who can find them.

Who can join

Online

Your servers are on the main server list, for every player. They register with the Battlefield 1943 Reborn backend.

LAN only

Nothing is sent to the main backend. This machine runs everything itself. Players join with Direct connect, by this machine's address.

RegionShown with its flag in the game's server browser, so players can pick a server near them. Tick rateHow many times a second your servers simulate the game. 60 Hz, the default, is recommended and is the official servers' rate. 30 Hz is the original game's. 75 and 100 Hz are experimental: physics and timing may break, and they ask more of your PC and of every player's connection. A player's game (v0.4.1 and newer) takes your servers' rate when it joins; older games play at 30 only. Each server can also have its own rate (Edit).

Public address, for players outside your network (optional)Players on your network use this machine's network address. Players outside need this address and the ports below opened on your router.

Updates

A new release of the game needs the same release on the server. The manager can do it by itself: it tells the players, waits, installs the release and starts your servers again.

Automatic updates

Checked every half hour. Warn players this long before the restart

Game files

A server needs the game's own files, from your copy of Battlefield 1943: the package file in the folder 5841097E\000D0000, or a folder with the unpacked game. They are copied in once.
