This computer: Task 1: Installing A Synthesis VR Game Server Step 1: Pre-Requirements Step 2: Install the Synthesis VR Access Point Step 3: Unsubscribe This Computer From The Essential Activation Module By default, a newly installed instance of the Synthesis VR Access Point on a computer tells the Synthesis VR System that this computer will be used as a VR gaming station. We need to inform the Synthesis system that this will not be a VR gaming station. This is done by unsubscribing to the “Essential Activation” module. Step 4: Subscribe This Computer To The Game Server Automation Module Step 5: Refresh Your Station Refreshing the station will confirm your changes, and the Synthesis VR Access Point will now say “Dedicated Gaming Server”. *You might have to refresh a few times Task 2: Assigning Games To Utilize The Game Server Step 1: License A Game That Requires A Game Server Step 2: Install That Game On The Game Server Step 3: Assign The Game To The Game Server Hold on!
