Running a Conan Exiles Gameserver on Windows is pretty easy (in comparison to linux). But it requires a few steps.
- Download SteamCMD from: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd.zip
- Extract the contents of the zip
- Install SteamCMD to a directory for example: c:\steamcmd
- Run SteamCMD once to start the self update
- Run SteamCMD with the following command to download the dedicated server: steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir c:\conan +app_update 443030 +quit
- Now the Conan Exiles Dedicated Server is available at c:\conan\ConanSandboxServer.exe
The configuration files are available in the folder: c:\conan\ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsServer
The primary configuration file for the server is serversettings.ini.
engine.ini contains the Servername and the Serverpassword:
[OnlineSubsystemSteam] ServerName=YourServername ServerPassword=YourServerPassword
You can use one of these configuration files as a base for your server configuration:
