Apply a Startup change
- Stop the server between sessions. For a save-related change, make a backup first.
- Open Startup → Variables, enter a value accepted by the field and wait for it to save.
- Start the server and check the result in game. If startup stops, read the first Console error before making another change.
| Panel field | Purpose and accepted values |
|---|---|
| Startmap | Selects the map loaded by this server. Use an exact installed map identifier supported by the game, including any required path. Up to 20 characters. |
| Secure or Insecure | Selects the launch security mode. Keep the existing secure mode while diagnosing a map or version error; changing it does not repair either problem. |
File settings and Startup overrides
Use cstrike/server.cfg for ordinary GoldSrc rules. The hostname variable in the upstream template is not passed by its launcher, so verify the hostname in the actual config rather than relying on that field alone.
