Apologies if this has been asked/answered elsewhere... but ...

Wondering if anyone knows whether a "dedicated server" app/executable will still be provided with the PC version??

If yes - will it also require dedicated license(s) for each DLC again, or (please, please!!) are Giants allowing a cloning of perhaps one set of license keys to be co-concurrently running with the dedicated server??

Thank you very much, appreciate any official details or links if possible.

Kind regards,

Dezza

I do believe if you buy a server from nitrado then you don't have to buy doubles of everything as they are a partner of giants so as long as you and everyone playing with you owns the DLC then it wouldn't be a problem... Of course if you rent from someone else then yeah business as usual I guess...

Does that mean all the modhub is going to be console friendly mods only?

No, They'll be other mods console can't get on the official modhub like scripts.
If they want to play with console user they have to turn off the 3rd party script mods and other real brand mods like Ford and other mods from 3rd party websites.

I think that they should have a labelling system for all mods made, right from day one of launch. otherwise, we will have tons of mods clogging up the smooth running of the game, maybe a colour coded border around the thumbnail would probably do the trick.

May be part of it, but a decent bet it’s partially because their Focus contract ran out (and that’s almost definitely something that wouldn’t be in any public statements)

You can also buy the season pass after the dlcs release if your willing to wait for them all to release to verify they’re worth your money before purchasing any of them. Season passes are pretty standard video game stuff at this point and to be honest it has been for quite some time.
