This guide explains how to install and configure a dedicated server for HumanitZ using SteamCMD.
Prerequisites
- OS: Windows 10/11 or Windows Server. Linux support is available via Wine, but Windows is native.
- RAM: 6GB - 8GB Recommended.
- SteamCMD: Required for downloading files.
1. Install SteamCMD
Download SteamCMD and extract it to a folder (e.g., C:\SteamCMD).
2. Download Server Files
Open a command prompt, navigate to your SteamCMD folder, and run the following command to download the server (App ID: 2728330):
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir C:\HumanitZServer +app_update 2728330 validate +quit
3. Configuration
Navigate to HumanitZServer\TSS\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\.
Rename ref_.GameServerSettings.ini to GameServerSettings.ini.
Edit the file to change settings like:
ServerName=My HumanitZ ServerMaxPlayers=10ServerPassword=(Leave blank for open)
4. Launch Settings
Create a start.bat file in the root server directory:
TSSServer.exe -log
Run the start.bat to boot the server.
5. Networking & Ports
You must port forward the following to allow connections:
- 7777 (UDP/TCP) - Game Port
- 27015 (UDP/TCP) - Query Port
Tip: If the server does not show in the browser, try connecting directly via IP:Port (e.g., 127.0.0.1:7777).
