bLaunchSeparateServer

This is a rarely used option that will launch a separate server (possibly hidden in-process depending on RunUnderOneProcess) even if the net mode does not require a server (such as Standalone).

Syntax

bool bLaunchSeparateServer

Remarks

This is a rarely used option that will launch a separate server (possibly hidden in-process depending on RunUnderOneProcess) even if the net mode does not require a server (such as Standalone). If the net mode requires a server (such as Client) a server will be launched for you (regardless of this setting). This allows you to test offline -> server workflows by connecting ("open 127.0.0.1:") from the offline game.
