However, Gamespy was discontinued in early July 2014, leaving many games that were dependent on it unable to allow their players multiplayer connectivity. A fix to this issue, specifically for MechWarrior: Living Legends, was created by the mod's community in the form of a separate game launcher-server browser that could connect players to popular servers. With the initial Community Edition release, this fix would later be turned into integration with the Qtracker service, which essentially completely replaced Gamespy's functionality in every way except the in-game interface. Sometime later, an in-house solution not dependent on Qtracker was developed and released in update 0.8.6, and later a fully redesigned launcher with an integrated updater in update 0.9.0.

− A server can host up to 32 players in one of five game modes: ''Team Solaris Arena'', ''Terrain Control'', ''Test of Strength'', ''Solaris Arena'' and ''Last Man Standing''. However, due to stability issues, servers are encouraged to not run with more than 28 player slots unless they are equipped with powerful enough single-core processing hardware. Additionally, server admins have access to a multitude of server-side configurations and commands, such as moderation, some level of game mode customization, and even controlling map time of day in certain cases. + A server can host up to 32 players in one of five game modes: ''Team Solaris Arena'', ''Terrain Control'', ''Test of Strength'', ''Solaris Arena'' and ''Last Man Standing''.
