As I see for now, there are almost no docs/tutorials about how to use UE4 as a dedicated server. At least, I didn’t found anything about this. There are posts about how to launch a dedicated server (all related to Windows only, while using windows as a server is a nonsense), but there is no info about how to develop it.
Am I missing anything?
So, here is the question: is it worth to use UE4 as a dedicated server, or it’s easier/better just to implement the server in any other way and just use some kind of sockets/udp/etc… to connect the UE4 clients?
And what about hybrid solution – to use UE4 server for replication and at the same time implement all logic outside UE4. Is it possible?
Where I can find any docs about UE4 networking protocols? (not about “listen” servers as in video lessons here, since it’s completely not about networking - all communications are hidden inside UE4 implementation).
For example, how can I use replication from my custom server not to code everything on client-side as well but to use existing protocols?
