Mordhau: Connecting to and setting up your server

How to connect to your Mordhau server and find the automatically generated admin password.

Here you'll learn how to connect to your Mordhau server and change the most important settings.

Connecting

  1. Start the server on the server page with Start.
  2. Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
  3. Search for your server name in the in-game server browser, or connect directly using the address (IP:Port) at the top of your server page.

Important settings

  • Server name (SERVER_NAME) – the name in the server list.
  • Game password (GAME_PASSWORD) – optional password for joining.
  • Admin password (ADMIN_PASSWORD) – for admin rights in the game.
  • Default map (DEFAULT_MAP) – the map when the server starts.
  • Max. players (MAX_PLAYERS) – how many players can join.

You'll find further settings in the Files tab in Mordhau/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Game.ini.

Changes to the Startup variables take effect on the next restart.

Good to know

  • The admin password (ADMIN_PASSWORD) is generated automatically by the portal during setup. It is shown once at the top of the server page – please make a note of it. You can change it in the Startup variables tab.
  • With Automatic update (AUTO_UPDATE), the server checks for updates on start (off by default).
