Clusters

Clusters help organize your game servers and are required for certain games that support clustered environments.

Clusters - overview

Cluster chat​

Cluster chat allows players to communicate even if they’re playing on different game servers within the same cluster. This feature is game-dependent. Check the features list per game to see if it's supported for your game.

By default, cluster chat is turned off. To enable it, click Cluster chat in the right-hand sidebar menu.

Clusters - enable cluster chat 1

Toggle the Cluster chat switch to enable the feature. No game server restarts are needed.

Clusters - enable cluster chat 2

Global chat​

Enable Global chat to share messages between all clusters that also have Global chat enabled. This allows cross-cluster communication.

Customize how messages appear in-game using the Cluster chat format field. You can include the following variables:

Available variables​

  • {charname} – Replaced with the character's name
  • {servername} – Replaced with the name of the server the message came from
  • {groupname} – Replaced with the character's group name
  • {message} – Represents the actual chat message content

Some games require a cluster ID to link servers together. GameServerApp automatically handles this, so you don’t need to configure anything manually.
