How to Play Renegade X With Friends

Short answer

Renegade X can join a public dedicated server from the live list, or you can host a private room on your own PC or a PlayBound server. Joining a public server is the default.

Ways to play together

Public server

Default

Join a community dedicated server from the live list. You will play with whoever is already there — not a private room.

My computer

Your PC runs the game. Lowest latency, and your party reaches it over the PlayBound network — no port forwarding. The room ends when you quit.

Step by step

  1. 1Open PlayBound and create or join a party.
  2. 2Add Renegade X as the party's game.
  3. 3Choose how to host: "My computer" for self-hosting, or "PlayBound server" for a room that stays up on its own.
  4. 4Launch. Everyone in the party connects to the same room with no manual setup.
  5. 5In Renegade X itself: Host LAN / Internet Server.

Why there's no port forwarding

Most home connections can't accept inbound traffic, which is normally what breaks self-hosting. PlayBound Connect puts everyone in the party on one private network instead, so the host is directly reachable without opening anything on their router.

How many players can play Renegade X together?

Renegade X supports up to 64 players in one session.

Do I need to forward a port to host Renegade X?
