Here you'll learn how to connect to your Mordhau server and change the most important settings.
Connecting
- Start the server on the server page with Start.
- Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
- 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).
