Here's how to connect to your Unturned server and adjust the most important settings.
Connecting
- Open the server page in the client area and click Start.
- Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
- Copy the address (IP:Port) at the top of the server page.
- Connect in-game via the multiplayer menu or direct connect using this address.
Important settings
In the Startup variables tab:
- Server name (
NAME) – name of your server. - Password (
PASSWORD) – password for joining. - Max. players (
MAX_PLAYERS) – a number between 1 and 100. - Map (
SERVER_MAP) – the server's map. - Owner (
OWNER) – your SteamID64, so you get owner rights. - RocketMod (
ROCKET_AUTOUPDATE) or OpenMod (OPENMOD_AUTOUPDATE) – installs and updates the plugin framework on start.
Changes in the Startup variables tab take effect on the next restart.
Good to know
- The Steam token (GSLT) is required and is entered when ordering; it can be changed later under Startup variables (
STEAM_ACC). You can create one at https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers. - The first start takes longer because the server files are downloaded and set up.
