This is the official dedicated server guide for Crysis and will get updated frequently.

The documentation includes a step-by-step instruction how to correctly set up a dedicated server including features like:

- Getting Started
- Server Instances
- Default Server
- Level Rotation
- Remote Control
- Punkbuster
- Punkbuster streaming to Punksbusted.com
- DX10 Server
- And more

Additionally it includes a whole server command list of all important console variables that are needed for server administration.

Package Content
Next to an updated documentation with lots of new content the whole package includes new files as well. To get the external RCon via HTML/XMLRPC working we provide you with a CrysisRCon Java script.

Also a server sided update is included in this package. It should be applied to every dedicated server in order to provide people who pre-ordered the game the ability to purchase the Amphibious APC in PowerStruggle.

Detailed instructions for both topics are of course covered in the documentation.

Punkbuster CFG files
As last content of the whole package we provide you with an up-to-date Punkbuster folder that includes both the latest .DLL files and the latest .CFG files that have been created on conjunction with Punksbusted.com.

More information about how to set these files up and more features of Punkbuster can be found in the document.
