The Startup page controls how your game server starts. You can see the exact command that starts it and change the options your game allows, such as the starting map or whether it updates itself.

The Startup page

​
What’s on the page

​
Change a variable

1

Find the variable

Scroll to Variables and find the option you want, for example Map.
2

Type the new value

Click the field and type the new value. Read the description under the field to see what values are allowed.
3

Click outside the field

The change is saved automatically when you click away. You can check the Startup Command at the top to see your new value.
4

Restart your server

The server only uses the new value the next time it starts. Restart your server to apply it.
Variables marked Read Only can’t be changed. Some of them, such as Max Players (Slots), come from your plan. To get more slots, upgrade your plan in the Billing Area.
Some options, such as the start map, also appear on the Game settings page. Changing them in one place changes them in both.

​
Troubleshooting

Restart your server. Variables are only read when the server starts.
The new value may not be valid for your game. Change it back to the previous value, then start the server again. Check the console for an error message.
It’s marked Read Only. These values are set by your plan or by us. Open a ticket if you need it changed.

Game settings

Change your server name, password and game rules.

Restart your server

Apply your changes.
