Good day, everyone.
After a combined vote between the server staff and developers, we are officially removing support for non-official Discovery servers. The reasons for this vote have been numerous, but we have decided that after all these years, it will be up to the private server owners and staff when it comes to advertising and providing access to their server.
What does this mean for server owners:
Your server will not show up in the server list, even with the Show Unofficial Servers function turned on via the launcher. To make your members connect to your own server, you will need to provide them with instructions on how to add your server's IP address to the forced arguments section of the launcher.
Said IP is then entered in the FORCED ARGUMENTS slot for the launcher like so:
Discovery Freelancer will keep providing our clientside installs with all that is necessary to set up a functional local server, but that will be the extent of our support for non-official servers for the foreseeable future.
