REQ: Dedicated server application

Can we have a dedicated server application to allow us to host unattended servers for the community?

Since the lobby is not hosting the game, players will still need to open ports and configure port forwarding to host, even with the lobby. Some of us have resources available (bandwidth, virtualization environments, spare pc's, etc.) who are able to host, but obviously it needs to be an unattended server application.

Players could join the server from the lobby, choose difficulty and either load a save game or maybe pick a chapter to start at and import their characters.

    You shouldn't need to do anything with ports. The matching service sets up the game for you.

    I don't know how the lobby server can do anything about the local NAT of the player hosting the game. But I'll accept that it won't be an issue. If this turns out to not be the case, please consider a dedicated server app. for us to run.
