WARDOGS Server Requirements
The Steam store lists the requirements for running the WARDOGS client, not a final dedicated-server sizing table. Use those figures as an indicator of game complexity, not as a promise that a 100-player server needs the same hardware.
Publicly listed client baseline
| Profile | Steam listing | Hosting interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum client | 16 GB RAM, 50 GB storage, Windows 10. | Not a dedicated-server specification. |
| Recommended client | 16 GB RAM, 50 GB storage, Windows 11. | Shows that the game itself is not a lightweight client. |
| Community server | Final values pending operator documentation. | Test full-round CPU, network and memory load before launch. |
What to measure during a playtest
- Server tick or simulation stability at realistic player counts.
- CPU saturation during destruction and vehicle-heavy fights.
- Memory and storage behavior over a long session.
- Network quality for players in the target region.
Do not turn the 16 GB client requirement into “WARDOGS servers need 16 GB” without a dedicated-server build and a measured load test.
