As a Squad server administrator, you have full access to server files, including configuration files. This allows you to modify nearly all server parameters, such as the password, server name, player count, number of reserved slots, automatic update settings and much more! In our control panel, you’ll find a quick configuration tab that lets you adjust the most important server variables in just a few moments. In this guide, we will explain how to configure your Squad server using our intuitive game server control panel.

How to configure server

1. Go to the control panel and select Squad server.

2. Navigate “Startup” tab and set basic parameters (described in the table below).
