Maintaining Version Parity


To prevent “Version Mismatch” errors and ensure access to the latest content and stability fixes, your server must be updated whenever a new patch is released on Steam. This guide covers the quick update process via the FREAKHOSTING panel.

1. The Manual Update Process

  1. Log in to your FREAKHOSTING GamePanel.
  2. Select your Enshrouded server instance.
  3. Click the Update button on the main sidebar.
  4. The server will run a SteamCMD validation check: +app_update 2278520 validate
  5. Once the process is complete, the status will return to “Online”.

2. Auto-Update Logic

At FREAKHOSTING, our start scripts are designed to check for updates every time you restart your server. If you notice a “Version Mismatch” even after an update, a simple Stop and Start cycle will usually force the latest binaries to download.
