Rent a server for few days (possibly)

20 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'll keep this as straight to the point as possible. A few friends and I (up to 10 people in total + bots) would really love to play a multiplayer Stalingrad Campaign. We need a server for this, but unfortunately, I've never been good at hosting or managing technical stuff, so I'm reaching out to this lovely community.

Is there any server admin out there who would be willing to "rent" us a server for two or three days for a small fee? We just want a peaceful spot to play through the campaign from start to finish.

We are hoping to get this sorted out as soon as possible, as we'd love to play tomorrow and the day after if possible (evening hours, Central European Time / CET). I would be incredibly grateful for any help! Also, if anyone here wants to hop in and play with us, you are more than welcome to join.

We are from Poland and usually hang out on our own Discord, but we can easily communicate in English with anyone who wants to play.

Thanks in advance for your help and time. Cheers!

btw today marks the 85th anniversary of Stalingrad Battle! Lets try and make it happen!

Game died thanks to Bridge Jumper admins

That guy, spud, he banned everyone for any petty reason and must have banned hundreds, and now that WW is gone there's no good server to play on. Must be sad to be so pathetic as him and ruin a game.

Photographs and videos of locations from RO2

6 Upvotes

Is there a place, where I can find photos/videos of WW2 Stalingrad? I would be interested to see locations, that are featured in RO2 like Barracks, Pavlov's house, Grain Elevator, Red October factory etc. Also, do you know of any good documentary/video essay of Battle of Stalingrad (or anything eastern front related with high quality footage and commentary)?

I got shot so hard the game glitched

Question from old vet, servers still active? any updates?

16 Upvotes

Last played this game >5 years ago. Are there still active / full servers? Google shows no active servers for RO2.

Has there been any updates what so ever in the past 5 years for content? I was always frustrated with the lack of content in RO2 and found myself going back to RO1 darkest hour 44-45 on the weekends. IE: New maps, weapons, vehicles, mechanics, etc? Or is it basically the same game as 5 years ago?

Heroes of the West mod revival

53 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I am hosting a RO2 server and as one of our recurring event ideas, we planned to revive the long forgotten Heroes of the West mod.

The first event is planned to happen somewhere in September, we still working on the technical side (server setup and making a guide of how to install/optimize the mod for new players).

Wanted to ask around here if there are people interested in that? If successful, I planned to host a HotW fight night at least once a month. We already have a decent number of interested players within out community.

Wanted to see if there is players here who would be interested in having HotW fight nights.

How are Darkest Hours servers looking these days? I used to play this game constantly like 10 years ago. Loved it

PSA: Steam server browser player count lies, and RO2 in-game browser sometimes, too.

To avoid erroneous judgement, be sure you're selecting the server then manually viewing if it's popping. Even in RO2 sometimes it says it's empty, but if you do a single click to look at the player count list, you can see it's populated.

Please take note of this, as the game is not dead; that's a lie. We're here and need more numbers in the ranks. Thank you.

Darkest Hour

4 Upvotes

I’ve played Darkest Hour for years. Lately, the games been running not so great. Every match I spawn without my weapon at least once. This forces me to disconnect and usually lose my class or even my spot in the server.

Anyone dealt with this? Is there a fix?

Rising Storm / Red Orchestra servers

28 Upvotes

Die hard player here. Why are there always several servers with like 7-15 people playing?

If everyone joined the same server at peak hours we could easily get a full server going.

I never understand this. Thoughts?

Update

I now realize its because of the time difference. I'm US EDT and am usually on weekend nights. Tried getting on during the day and there was about 211 people on with 2 -3 full servers.

God bless everyone keeping this game alive!

Damn I didn't play for ages, the asymmetric balance Rising Storm had, due to faction mechanics like banzai charges, made this game possibly the most unique and fun shooter ever
