I to need some info...
Game must be good I have a few folks asking...

Any input would be of great help.

OS Linux

Ok, I decided to take the plunge


So far this is what I have/know:

Vietcong is stand alone and has an expansion titled First Alpha. You can get both together under the title Vietcong Purple Haze.


It has a nice dedicated server exe (server is windows only)

There is 1 patch and a couple maps to update.
Install size is 2.2 gigs.

The dedicated server has an easy to use setup screen to make your config file.

An empty 20 player server uses a little over 100MB of RAM.


As soon as I can get some people in the game ill report cpu from a dual xeon.

I had 2 people ask over the last few months but never hosted it yet.

Is there a dedicated server free file you can download or you have to buy the game?

The guy above said it had a dedicated windows version

I actually own the game. I thought the characters looked like rats

anyone have a link to the dedicated server for windows?

I have a package for it somewhere on my server or computer, ill see if i can find it.

Ok, here is the updated info:


The game comes with a dedicated server executable vcded.exe

When you run it it brings up a small gui to configure the server. If you hit save, it saves the configurations and map list to a file you name ex: MYSERVER.ded
This file can be edited with a text editor.
To get the server to run without the gui configuration popup, add -dedicated MYSERVER.ded to the command line.
To get the server to run the addon fist alpha add -addon fistalpha to it.

Here is my command line:

vcded.exe -addon fistalpha -dedicated speedwise.ded

It is a bit heavy on cpu, a full 20 player server runs approx 16% on dual xeon 2.8

The biggest issue I have with it is that I have yet to find a command to bind the game to only 1 IP address. You can change the port, but there is no command to bind to 1 IP

any chance someone has the files for this
