Even before a drop down to choose the server is implemented, I would be happy if ms_force_dedicated_server took a domain:ip combo so my users don't have to remember or keep copy/pasting the IP. I honestly haven't tried it though. Can anyone tell me if this works. I have a subdomain off my community's web domain pointed to our server ip.
The connect command works with domain:ip, so, this is why I'm wondering. On 4/22/2009 3:42 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Yes, the full IP:Port has to be specified.
