Dash Faction Enhanced Dedicated Server Config

This page lists example server templates you can use and customize to your liking when hosting a Dash Faction dedicated server. You'll find config options for most common use cases, but if you're running into issues customizing your server to your liking, please join the Red Faction Community Discord and we'll help you out.

NOTE: All custom Dash Faction options ( $DF options ) need to be inserted in dedicated_server.txt after the $Map lines.
