Option #1: Renting a Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord server (see example control panel below!)

Server Requirements

Windows 7, 8.1, 10, Server 2012, Server 2016

Quad Core processor (requires up to 2 full cores)

Up to 16GB memory (currently uses around 6GB memory minimum and up to 15GB of memory for a full server)

2GB disk space (install folder)

Step 1: Fetching Game Server files

The best method to get dedicated server game files is via the dedicated server depot on Steam via SteamCMD.

1. Create a folder where you wish to store your Arma Reforger game server hosting files
2. Inside of the folder, place the newly downloading SteamCMD.exe file
3. Create a batch file named BannerlordInstall.bat
4. Place the following code in this batch file:

@echo off

start "" C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\Bannerlord\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +login anonymous anonymous +force_install_dir C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\Bannerlord +app_update 1863440 +quit

1. Right-click BannerlordInstall.bat and Run as Administrator
2. Your game server files should be completely downloaded by now
