Learn how to fix common issues with your Chivalry 2 game server—from the server browser to admin commands → Find out more
10 November 20263 min read0 Views0 helpful
Introduction
Can't find your Chivalry 2 game server in the server browser, join it, or get admin commands to work? Don't worry—most issues have a simple cause. Here we'll show you the most common issues and how to fix them quickly yourself.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Check the console to make sure your server has fully started, search for the exact server name, and clear any filters. It may take a moment for the server to appear after a restart.
The player count is often higher than recommended for the game mode. Reduce it to a maximum of 64 (52 with horses), or 40 for Free For All, Brawl, Last Peasant Standing, and Volley.
According to Torn Banner, unofficial Chivalry 2 servers don't award experience points or gold. Values shown on the end screen aren't actually awarded.
Torn Banner recommends restarting every few days because timers can get out of sync if the server runs for too long.
Enable the console under Settings > Options > Game > General, check that you're on the admin list, and use player IDs from ListPlayers. Admin commands only work on PC.

Chivalry 2
Issues and Solutions
Your game server's console is the most useful tool for troubleshooting. It shows what your server does during startup and where an error occurs.
Server Browser and Connection
Server doesn't appear in the server browser
First, check whether your server has fully started. After a restart, it may take a moment to appear in the server browser. Search for the exact name you set and clear any filters.
Unable to join because of a version mismatch
Your game and server must be running the same version of Chivalry 2. Update your game. If your game is newer than the server, restart your server or contact our support team.
Password isn't accepted
Check your capitalization. If you changed the password, restart your server for the change to take effect.
Game and Server
Players don't spawn or get kicked out of the game
A common cause is having more players than recommended for the game mode. Torn Banner recommends a maximum of 64 players (52 with horses) for Team Objective and Team Deathmatch, and a maximum of 40 players for Free For All, Brawl, Last Peasant Standing, and Volley. Reduce the player count and restart your server.
Timers become inaccurate after a long uptime
If your server runs for a long time without restarting, its timers can get out of sync. Torn Banner recommends restarting the server every few days. The easiest way to do this is to set up regular restarts.
XP or gold is shown after a match but isn't awarded
According to Torn Banner, unofficial servers don't award experience points or gold. The end screen may still show values that aren't actually awarded. This isn't an issue with your server.
Players appear without their customizations or rank
This can happen after a crash. The player's customizations and rank will return once they rejoin the server.
Admin Commands
Console won't open
First, enable the console in Chivalry 2 under Settings > Options > Game > General. Then open it in-game using the ~ key. Admin commands only work on PC.
Admin commands have no effect
Check whether you're listed in your server's admin list, and restart your server after making a change. Commands like KickById or BanById require the player's ID. Use the ListPlayers command to see player IDs.
Admin privileges disappear after changing maps
When switching to or from a Last Team Standing map, players may drop to level 1 and admins may lose their privileges until they rejoin the server. Leave the server briefly, then join again.
Performance
Lag on full servers
Your server's performance needs depend primarily on the number of players. Small matches run much more smoothly than full battles with 64 players. Keep an eye on your server's resource usage and, if needed, reduce the player count or upgrade your server.
DDoS and other network threats
Game servers can be targeted by attacks that flood them with traffic, causing lag or disconnections. ZAP-Hosting provides integrated protection systems to help shield your server from common attacks. If you suspect an attack, contact our support team.
Preventive Measures
Regular backups can save you a lot of stress, especially before you make configuration changes. We already back up your game server automatically every day. With the ZapX Pass, you can also create your own backups at any time and restore them with a click—with ZapX Pass Pro, you can even schedule them automatically. Also, restart your server regularly to keep the timers running correctly.
