interfering with their live servers, and being explicit that this is for
educational / private use only.
### Why the 2020 build specifically? Will newer versions work?
### Why old 2020 builds specifically? Will newer versions work?
2020.03.10 is the last build before Rec Room shipped server-side
ObscuredInt anti-cheat changes that would require deeper client patching.
It's old enough to be effectively abandonware on Rec Room's roadmap, new
enough to have most of the features people remember.
DorkNet targets old 2020 clients because their network protocol is still
small enough to reimplement cleanly. Newer Rec Room builds changed more
of the auth, protocol, and client-side assumptions, so each later build
would need real reverse-engineering work instead of a quick version bump.
Newer builds (any Rec Room from late 2020 onward) aren't supported and
won't be without significant additional reverse-engineering. PRs that
add support for newer builds are welcome but expect scope creep.
The supported builds are listed in [BRANCHES.md](../BRANCHES.md). Builds
outside that table will not work unless someone adds a matching branch.
### Can I run a public server that anyone can join?
Technically yes (just disable signup-disabled in admin settings). Legally
risky — see the C&D answer above. Realistically, "public" private
servers attract attention and shorten the project's lifespan.
Technically yes, if you allow open signups in admin settings. It is
legally risky, though; see the shutdown/legal answer above. Realistically,
"public" private servers attract attention and shorten the project's
lifespan.
We recommend keeping servers small (friends + community), private
(invite-only signups), and not advertised.
