Hi I am beginner of ue4 programming.

I have question with dedicated server.

I had followed this tutorial, [link text](https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Dedicated_Server_Guide_(Windows_%26_Linux)#2._Setup_source_unreal_engine), so that’s nice.

But I want to apply to my launcher installed project from this, I have no idea.

Do I must download engine source for standalone dedicated server?

Is there anyway from my project build with dedicated server?

help me…

Yes, you will have to install the engine from source to add support for dedicated servers for your project.

Hope this helps 🙂

That works without source build. To package you would require source build of course!

Thank you. I was looking for a way to get dedicated server on packaged games without source build though.
