The Isle Evrima Game.ini Configuration Guide
Evrima reads its main dedicated-server settings from TheIsle/Saved/Config/<platform>Server/Game.ini. On Linux that is normally LinuxServer; on Windows it is WindowsServer. Stop the server before editing and restart it after every change.
Use the right section header
Unreal configuration is forgiving in the wrong way: a misspelled section or key can be ignored and leave the old default in place. Start with the exact section spelling below:
[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]
ServerName=My Evrima Server
MaxPlayerCount=50
MapName=Gateway
bServerPassword=false
ServerPassword=
bServerWhitelist=false
bSpawnAI=true
AIDensity=1
AISpawnInterval=40
GrowthMultiplier=1Settings that most often cause tickets
| Key | What it controls | Safe troubleshooting move |
|---|---|---|
ServerName | Name shown in the browser. | Use a short unique name while testing. |
MaxPlayerCount | Player slot cap, not a performance guarantee. | Lower it if tick rate or memory pressure appears at peak. |
MapName | Active Evrima map, commonly Gateway. | Keep it consistent with the installed build and saved state. |
bServerPassword / ServerPassword | Private-server join gate. | Change both deliberately; an empty password is not a useful test. |
bSpawnAI / AIDensity | AI availability and population pressure. | Reduce density before raising hardware or slots. |
GrowthMultiplier | Dinosaur growth pacing. | Change it only with a community policy; it changes progression. |
When a setting appears ignored
- Confirm you edited the server's active
LinuxServerorWindowsServerfile, not the client config. - Check capitalization and the section header.
- Stop the process completely, save the file, and restart.
- Verify the result in the browser or log; do not infer success from a saved text file.
For admin IDs, RCON and whitelist entries, use the dedicated RCON and admin guide. For AI-heavy servers, see performance and slot sizing.
Supercraft customers can use the panel configuration surface and restart workflow instead of editing files directly. Host The Isle Evrima with Supercraft.
