did append -allowmultiple on the Launcher and no, it doesn't work.

You need to append this to the game, not launcher. Launcher doesn't pass these arguments. ("Warframe.x64.exe -cluster:public -allowmultiple" should be enough, but skips patching checks)

If Launcher had an -UpdateAndExit cmg arg

You can use a dscfg dummy, running "-headless -dedicated -dscfg dummy.txt", and dummy.txt with contents:

Quote

"LotusDedicatedServerSettings" : 0

You can also take a look at my server allocator. It starts/stops server instances based on usage.

blacklist certain servers

Adding to that: a way for users to indicate there's an issue to the host. It's very possible those hosts mentioned have no idea what the experience is like.

[Discarding packet with invalid signature from *IP address*]

the server just says "Discarding packet with invalid signature from: *Ip address of the player*" and they get dropped almost instantly

It might be an issue, but most of the time its the other way around: you drop packets because the player already left. Usually players leave when they join an empty lobby. Packets don't always end up at the destination in the order they were sent. So after the "leave squad" message is received, some other (delayed) packets might still arrive from that user. As there is no longer a user with that ip in the session (they left), their ip is now invalid. You can see some of the relevant messages below.

Spoiler

393.156 Net [Info]: MatchingServiceWeb::ProcessSquadMessage received LEAVE message from [user]
393.162 Sys [Info]: Server: Client "[user]" disconnected with HConn=0

[Conclave Dedicated Server Feedback]

That'd definitely be a nice thing. If they could also make it so that you can control the server via shell/commandline, that'd allow players who have free capacity on their webserver to install and run it there, possibly improving connectivity (unless your webserver is in your basement, next to your PC).

Running via commandline is already possible:

shortcut im get a error : 

Your missing some, add these: -fullscreen:0 -dx10:0 -dx11:0 -threadedworker:1 -cluster:public -language:en

Its probably the -cluster one that is required, though @[DE]maciejs should be able to tell us (and fix the guide :)).

[Why hasn't DE Given us a option to NOT-host?]

This would depend a lot on how many people would choose the non-host option (a poll would be interesting). If its not too much, it wouldn't even be a problem to add this. Maybe an option to "prefer non-host" would work, were if all 4 players are non-host, it falls back on the current way of choosing host.

btw: don't underestimate the data usage from hosting multiple sessions, you can easily use 100GB+ of data over a weekend.
