This repository is a monorepo that contains multiple projects that helps to play a Dispel Multiplayer game.

• console - A main server handling the state preservation and communication with the clients.
• backend - A backend server that handles the commands send by the DispelMulti.exe. It exchanges the data with the console.
• launcher - A launcher for the game. It is a GUI app that is responsible for resolving all problems with interconnecting the game, the console and the backend.

Usage

1. After Dispel Colosseum installation, open regedit.exe to find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\AbalonStudio\Dispel\Multi and replace Server key with localhost as a new value.

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\AbalonStudio\Dispel\Multi\Server dispel.e2soft.com
+ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\AbalonStudio\Dispel\Multi\Server localhost

Troubleshooting

Windows

Cannot start the backend server

"An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions."

Restart of the Host Network Service on Windows might fix this error. Open an elevated (with admin permissions) Command Prompt and run:

net stop hns
net start hns

Linux

Cannot bind the 127.0.0.X for the relayed hosts

ip addr add 127.0.0.2/8 dev lo

QUIC error about the buffer being too small

In the backend logs, you might notice the following fragment:

... See https://github.com/quic-go/quic-go/wiki/UDP-Buffer-Sizes for details

On Linux you need to extend the memory for the buffer. Note that these settings are not persisted across reboots.

sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=7500000
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=7500000

MacOS

Cannot bind the 127.0.0.X for the relayed hosts

Note that these settings are not persisted across reboots.

sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 127.0.0.2 netmask 0xff000000
sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 127.0.0.3 netmask 0xff000000
