How to Host a Dedicated Titanfall 1 Server with R1Delta

Updated

R1Delta is an open-source custom server framework for Titanfall 1 that lets you host dedicated servers and load mods. To use it, you need the R1Delta framework files from the official site, a machine to run the server on, and a way to reach the community (the project points users to its Discord and server listings for support and configuration references). Because it is open source, you can modify and deploy it yourself, but you should expect to configure it rather than run a one-click installer.

What R1Delta actually is

R1Delta describes itself as an open-source, custom server framework for Titanfall 1 that allows hosting dedicated servers and loading mods. Two things follow from that description:

  • It is a framework, not a hosted service. You run the server; the project gives you the software to do it.
  • Mod loading is part of the design. Custom servers and mods are the point, so configuration will involve more than default settings.

The site also states that R1Delta is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Respawn Entertainment, Electronic Arts, or their subsidiaries, and that Titanfall is a trademark of Respawn Entertainment. Keep that in mind if you plan to publish or promote a server.

What you need before you start

Requirement Why it matters
R1Delta framework files The server software itself; the site provides a Download entry point
A machine to host on A dedicated server needs a persistent host, not just a gaming PC you turn off
Network access and open ports Players connect over the network, so the host must be reachable
The Discord / server list The site links to Discord and Servers; these are where configuration references and support live
Willingness to edit configs Open-source frameworks are configured, not just installed

The site itself does not publish pricing or login requirements, so do not assume the download or the Discord is free or gated — check the linked pages directly.

Basic steps to get a server running

  1. Get the framework. Go to r1delta.net and use the Download link to obtain the R1Delta files.
  2. Prepare the host. Choose the machine that will run the server and make sure it can stay online and accept incoming connections.
  3. Install and configure. Place the framework on the host and work through its configuration. Because R1Delta is open source and mod-capable, expect to set server options and any mods you want rather than accept defaults.
  4. Start the server and verify. Launch it, then confirm it appears and accepts connections. The Servers link on the site is the natural place to check how servers are listed and to compare your setup against working ones.
  5. Get help when stuck. Join the Discord linked from the site. This is the project's own support channel and the most reliable source for configuration specifics.

Common sticking points

  • Treating it as plug-and-play. A framework that supports mods and dedicated hosting usually needs configuration before it behaves the way you want.
  • Skipping the community. The site deliberately points to Discord and a server list; those are where version-specific and setup-specific answers live, and they change faster than any static guide.
  • Assuming official support. R1Delta is independent of Respawn and EA, so official Titanfall channels are not the place to ask about it.
  • Ignoring the open-source angle. You can modify and deploy it, which is an advantage, but it also means you own the setup and its problems.

When this approach fits

Choose R1Delta if you want a Titanfall 1 dedicated server you control, you are comfortable configuring open-source software, and you want mod support built in. If you only want to play on existing custom servers, you do not need to host anything — the site's Servers link is the relevant entry point instead.
