Assetto Corsa server settings: Startup and configuration

Use Server name, Server Password and Max clients in Startup to configure Assetto Corsa.

Apply a Startup change

  1. Stop the server between sessions. For a save-related change, make a backup first.
  2. Open Startup → Variables, enter a value accepted by the field and wait for it to save.
  3. Start the server and check the result in game. If startup stops, read the first Console error before making another change.
Open Startup → Variables for the controls exposed by this server. This demonstration hides private values; file edits are made through Files.
Assetto Corsa settings reference
Panel fieldPurpose and accepted values
Server nameThe name players see when looking for the session. Use a distinctive name so it is easy to distinguish from other servers. Up to 40 characters.
Server PasswordThe password for players joining the game. Do not reuse your panel account password. Up to 64 characters.
Max clientsControls how many players the game accepts at once. This is a game setting; the hosting plan’s player estimate is a sizing suggestion. Allowed range: 2–25.

File settings and Startup overrides

Use Startup for the mapped fields in cfg/server_cfg.ini. Freeroam-specific options belong to AssettoServer’s extra_cfg.yml, not another game’s server config.
