Parameters

Parameter	Description
InRequestParams	Mostly used for global settings. Probably shouldn't vary per instance.
bInDedicatedInstance	If true, this will create a dedicated server instance. Shouldn't be used if we're using multiple processes.
InNetMode	The net mode to launch this instance with. Not pulled from the RequestParams because some net modes (such as ListenServer) need different net modes for subsequent instances.
