Dedicated Servers

Getting Started

So how does it work? There are a few things needed to get up and running. First, you need to download the SteamCMD file, or Steam Console Client if as it’s also known.

Create a directory for the downloaded files C:\SteamCMD for example.

Double-click the file you just downloaded and let it extract all the files which will then be placed inside the new C:\SteamCMD folder. It should end up looking like this:

If you are running another OS, the check the SteamCMD page for more info.

Setup

Method 1

• Launch the steamcmd executable.
• Once that load there’s a Steam> prompt.
• Type: login anonymous

Once that is logged in and you see the Steam> prompt again it’s time to update files for RemSurvival

• Type: app_update 1141420

The files will then download and you can see the progress as they come down.

Once that is concluded type “exit” to leave SteamCMD.

Important note: To update the files in the future follow the above then login and type app_update 1141420.

Method 2

Create a file in SteamCMD folder and name it RemSurvivalServerDownload.bat and then edit the file to contain the blow text.

@echo off start steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +force_install_dir C:\RemSurvivalDedicatedServer +app_update 1141420 validate +quit

Run this .bat file to update or install.

Configuration

Now the files are installed it’s time to set things up and running on your server.

Inside this folder C:\RemSurvivalDedicatedServer there is file called StartServer.bat. Click this to launch the server. Once it’s completed you can close down the server and it’s time to start setting the server config,

The StartServer.bat can also be configured to change Ports and set a MultiHome.

-MultiHome=176.57.135.59 -Port=7777 -QueryPort=27015

Go to the folder C:\RemSurvivalDedicatedServer\RemSurvival\Saved\Config\WindowsServer

Open the file ServerConfig.ini in notepad if there’s no file just create one and name it ServerConfig.ini.

The ini file should look like below

[/Game/RemSurvival/Blueprints/Saves/ServerConfig.ServerConfig_C]

Important note: Ports 27015, 7777 and 25575 for RCon need to be opened on your server to allow communication with your server so check your firewall or anything that could potentially block these ports.

Another point to note is that you may have issues if you are running the Steam client on the same machine you are running the server on. Shut down the Steam client.

The Server now has RCon support I recommend to use this client Taki7o7’s Mordhau RCON-Tool , a full list of Rcon commands can be found below.

RCon Settings are found in the Game.ini file.
