Step 1: Downloading the Server Files

The first thing you need to do is download the Unturned server files. You can simply download them from the Steam website or from the game’s website. After downloading the files, create a folder where you want to store the server files.

Once you’ve downloaded the server files, extract them into the folder you created. You should see a bunch of files and folders in the folder you just extracted the server files into.

Now that you’ve extracted the server files, it’s time to move on to the next step.

Step 2: Configuring the Server

Before we start the server, we need to configure it first. Open the folder where you extracted the server files and find the file called “Commands.dat”. This is where you can configure the server settings.

Open the “Commands.dat” file with a text editor and you should see something like this:

#Server namename=My Unturned Server#Server portport=27015

You can customize the server settings by changing the values after the “=” sign. For example, if you want to change the server name, simply change “My Unturned Server” to whatever name you want. Similarly, you can change the port number to any number you want.

Make sure to save the changes you made to the “Commands.dat” file.

Step 3: Starting the Server

Now that we’ve downloaded the server files and configured the server settings, it’s time to start the server. To do this, simply run the “Unturned.exe” file in the folder where you extracted the server files.

A console window should appear and you should see something like this:

Starting Unturned...

This means the server is starting. After a few seconds, you should see something like this:

Loading level...

This means the server is loading the map. After the map has loaded, you should see something like this:

Game started...

This means the server is up and running! Your friends can now join your server using your IP address and the port number you specified in the “Commands.dat” file.

FAQ

Congratulations, you’ve successfully created an Unturned server for your friends! Now you can customize the server even further by exploring the “Commands.dat” file and adding mods.
