Running a server

Running A Server

First Steps

When you have created a server you will see the following view:

At the top left is a tab menu where each server will be visible that you create. All controls under Launch Settings and Server Management are for the selected server only.

The first recommended step is to click Update Server. This will install and update SteamCMD if it is not already installed and then install the server.

Launch Settings

• Server Name is the name that you want to be shown in the in-game browser for the server or at sites like BattleMetrics.
• World Name is the name of the folder for the save data. This can be found in \SaveData\world01 in the shown example. There is no need to change this unless you know what you are doing.
• Bind to IP can be enabled if you want to bind the server to a specific address. The text field next to it is the IP that you want to bind the server to. You do not have to change this unless you know what you are doing.

Server Management

Under Server Management there are a few buttons to manage your server.

• Auto Restart can be ticked if you want the server to automatically start again if it exits in an unexpected way (e.g. it crashed).
• Status is not interactable and shows if the server is running or not.
• Start Server starts the server.
• Stop Server stops the server.
• Update Server updates the server.
• Server Folder opens the folder the server is installed to.
• RCON Console is temporarily disabled.
• Manage Admins opens a window where you can add and remove admins.
