If you want to run multiple servers on the same machine, each of them needs to be in a separate folder, use a different set of ports, and have the router/modem correctly route the external port to the correct local port on the computer running the servers. NOTE: If you only wish to play on your home network, without anyone accessing from the outside, you can just bypass all the network port forwarding, and instead of using the External IP you can use the Local IP of the server, which in Steam you can find by looking in the Steam (Top Menu) > View > Servers > LAN to find the locally running server and launch the game from there.
Remember that external clients will need to connect on the External IP, your machine local network ip is only valid on your side of the router, your friends can’t access it! This is what the copy/paste would look like: Name: My server is really awesomeĬode Version: 98222/17925 (default branch) You can easily share the connection information with your friends by clicking the “Copy Connection Information” button.
So, in case you encounter an issue with a more recent version, just go to the history section and download the previous one. NOTE: Upgrading to a new version is just a matter of having the new executable at the same location as the old one, they should be compatible.
Press the big button at the bottom right to start the serverĪt this point the tool will automatically install and update SteamCMD, which will then download the game server program as well as any mod you have specified. Run the program and edit the parameters you want, save the changes Also, ideally, the file should be in its own folder on a disk with enough space to host the unpacked SteamCMD installation and associated game server (about 2 gigabytes at the moment).) When reporting issues, please specify which version you are using. (Basically the latest version contains all the new features being added and tested, but potentially bugs, so if you just want something “that just works”, use the official version.
