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 |
|---|---|
| Server Name | The name players see when looking for the session. Use a distinctive name so it is easy to distinguish from other servers. Up to 50 characters. |
| Server Password | The password players enter to join. It is separate from the game server login token. |
| Auto update | Controls the server’s update check when the server starts. Allow downloads to finish before retrying a start. On or off (the panel may display True/False or 1/0). |
File settings and Startup overrides
Current Unturned releases use Config.txt for advanced settings. Old instructions to edit Config.json may refer to a previous configuration format.
