I don't think he ever got it working.
I put a server up after his went down and it never got much love, so I never bothered putting it back up when it crashed 500 days in.

Hello flyers. Unfortunately, I was not able to get Hardwar to run as a server on my new Windows 7, 64 bit platform. It is beyond my limited knowledge to fix it. The single player game will run, but no server. It would be possible for me to dig up a very basic laptop somewhere with XP on it and just plug that into my router and use for a server box. However, I don't have one and would have to buy one somewhere. So..for the foreseeable future, I will have to say goodbye to hosting the game. It was a long, fun ride, but I don't have the computer skills to make the server work. If anyone figures out how to do it, please let me know. If I find a laptop, I will host again. I hate to give up on Hardwar after all of these years, but someone is going to have to make some sort of "Ian Martin" patch or re-write that will let Hardwar run on Window's 7 64 bit as a server. Until then, I can't host. I will still be around. Can't get Hardwar out of my blood. Now, one last question: Are there enough people around that actually WANT me to get a laptop and host a game again? Speed and greed on Titan. Hammer

Hello Hammer, Thank you for all you did ! I've been connected on your server twice or three times but my ping was so bad that the game was quite unplayable (maybe the distance to France ) so I gave up. But knowing that a server is still on line is like a light in the night, I'm sad to hear that you can't go on... If only Ian Martin could come back once again ! Anyway thank you very much for this long long support !

I'd be willing to put a stock server up, if people are interested

Hello flyers! A long and winding road. I never did get Hardwar to run on Windows 7 as a server. It is beyond my skills. Since Last I visited this site, I've had a busy summer. Changed jobs, Completely busy with all that entails, been flying gliders, and doing photography. I still keep hoping someone will make an upgrade/patch/mod....that will get Hardwar running on Windows 7 Server. I never did get a laptop. If Acidburn's offer of a laptop running XP is still good, I would take it and host the online game again using that laptop. However, is there enough interest? Towards the end, I was hosting the game more or less out of tradition. I had hosted for a very long time, and didn't want to quit. But there never were very many players. Is it worth my trouble? Speed and greet on Titan! Hammer

What's the issue with running a dedi on Windows 7 64 bit? I seem to be able to run one just fine.
EDIT: Come to think of it, I didn't even need to install with compatibility mode, it all went rather smoothly.
Probably because I'm using Windows Ultimate 64bit

It works fine for me on Server 2008. I just closed my server just to see if anyone cared/complained, and no one has, so I'm assuming people dont want to play Hardwar online anymore.
MSGC does use a lot of RAM, which is the actual reason I closed it down, it was trying to compete with a Minecraft server.

it mainly just me and my gf that play together, she doesnt like dealing with other people in MC.
On an important note, I started the Hardwar server back up, left off at about 2100 days

Hello flyers! I am still around. I have been, well, distracted from Hardwar. Many changes in real life, been busy. But I just can't leave Hardwar behind. Would still host a Hardwar server, just for old time's sake. If I acquire a laptop, that will happen Speed and greed on Titan! Hammer

It's very simple to set up a virtual machine to run windows XP.... Vmware player is free or you can get workstation 10 for 50 bucks using this code VMFF80
Vmware just allows you to run a guest operating system within your current OS... so if you want to run windows 95 or w/e within windows 8 you can..
just another solution

I'm still not entirely sure what the issue is anyway, because my game (which is going on 13k days by the way, beating any record from before) is running directly on Server 2008 just fine, and plays fine on W7/8 so I cant imagine why the server shouldn't work
