Here's how to run a server with the Assist client(while Auth is down)
Open Assist(ORLY)
click on the Server tab,
click in Options,
Check the "Free play mode, No Authorization" box
configure your server the way you want, click in ok to save your changes,
Now back on the Server tab click in "Start" to run your server.
If you cannot login on Assist, join the server by IP:Port
ex: type this on game console: open 127.55.66.99:1716
Press " or ~ to open the game console
You will have to figure out how to open ports on your router/modem.
Once you Check "Check the "Free play mode, No Authorization" box,
at the bottom a option will be avaliabe and should be checked by default
its mAAp TeamViewer, If you disable that box, you will be able to see where your Team mates are
Like in BF or COD, but only team mates.
Heres how it looks like,
