  • First, locate your game, bitfighter.app
  • Navigate through Contents > MacOS > Bitfighter
  • Open the application terminal, located in Applications > Utilities
  • Drag the bitfighter executable into the terminal window
    • After that is done, type a space, and then input -dedicated
    • press enter when your done and open the main .app game to see if your server is up
