Server Hosting Guide

Playing Brick Rigs with friends is the definitive experience. You can host your own server directly from the game menu.

Hosting a Game

1. Main Menu: Select “Multiplayer” -> “Host Game”.

2. Server Name: Choose a recognizable name.

3. Password: Optional, but recommended for private sessions.

4. Max Players: Higher counts require better internet upload speeds and CPU power.

5. Gamemode: Select Sandbox, Conquest, Battle, etc.

Port Forwarding (Optional)

Brick Rigs usually utilizes Steam P2P networking, which handles connections automatically without needing to forward ports. However, if friends cannot join: * Ensure your Firewall allows Brick Rigs (Private and Public networks). * Verify your antivirus is not blocking the connection.

Server Commands

As a host, you have control over the lobby: * Kick/Ban: Remove griefers via the scoreboard (Tab). * Clear All: Delete all vehicles to clear lag. * Reset Character: Respawn all players.

Common Connection Issues

• “Connection Failed”: Often caused by version mismatch. Ensure host and client are on the same game version.

• Lag: The host’s CPU limits the server performance. If the host lags, everyone lags.
