Why do I lose game progress when I stop the server?

The No One Survived server cannot shut down cleanly. Stop and Update end it immediately, so only the data from the most recent automatic save is retained.

Which ports does a No One Survived server need?

By default, port 7777 (UDP) for the game and 27015 (UDP) for queries. The installer opens them in the Windows firewall and, when you install through the dashboard, in your VPS's Network Firewall too.

Introduction

You can run a No One Survived server on your own VPS with ZapX. You have full control over the system, and the Game Server Installer gets your server set up in just a few minutes—no remote desktop connection required. This guide explains what you need, how to install the server, and how to manage it afterward.

No One Survived: Set Up a Server on Your VPS

Requirements

Requirement	No One Survived
Operating system	Windows Server 2019 or later
Memory	At least 6 GB
Free disk space	At least 20 GB on drive C:

Info

No One Survived is only available for Windows in the Game Server Installer. If your VPS runs Linux, install a Windows Server template via Settings > Reinstallation. This deletes all data on your VPS. For more information, see Server Reinstallation.

Install No One Survived

Open your VPS in the ZapX dashboard and go to the Tools tab. Select the Game Server Installer.
Under Your server's operating system, select the Windows tile.
Under Choose game, search for No One Survived and select it.
Under Set up server, choose the Server name and Player slots. You can find the Game port and Query port under Advanced settings.
Click Install on this VPS, then click Start installation.

The installer downloads the No One Survived server through SteamCMD (around 12 GB), sets it up, and starts it. For more details about the installation process, see the Game Server Installer guide.

Important

The No One Survived server cannot shut down cleanly and has no save command. Stop, Restart, and Update end the server immediately, so only the data from its most recent automatic save is retained. Always create a backup before updating.

You can also install No One Survived manually using a command: copy the command shown in the final step, connect via Remote Desktop, and run it in Windows PowerShell as an administrator.

After installation

Once installation is complete, the installer shows your server address under How to connect. You can view the generated admin password under Login credentials once. When you install through the dashboard, the installer does not set a join password. To connect, open Multiplayer in the game and find your server in the server list by its name. Alternatively, connect directly using your VPS IP address and the port, which is 7777 by default. You can also find the IP address in the Overview of your VPS in the ZapX dashboard.

Your server files are stored on the VPS at C:\ZapX-GameServers\no-one-survived\:

Folder/file	Contents
`server\`	No One Survived server files
`server\WRSH\Saved\SaveGames\`	Your world and save files
`server\WRSH\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\`	Server settings (`Game.ini`, `Engine.ini`)
`logs\server.log`	Server output

Start, stop, and restart the server

Your No One Survived server starts automatically when the VPS boots and restarts after a crash. To manage it, connect via Remote Desktop and use the desktop shortcuts:

No One Survived (no-one-survived) - Start
No One Survived (no-one-survived) - Stop
No One Survived (no-one-survived) - Restart

Because the server cannot shut down cleanly, the Stop shortcut ends it immediately. After making significant changes in the game, wait briefly for the automatic save to complete before stopping the server.

Configuration

No One Survived's game settings are in server\WRSH\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\Game.ini, in the [ServerSetting] section. These include settings such as day length and zombies. The game creates this file the first time the server starts. The ports are listed in Engine.ini in the same folder.

Stop the server before editing Game.ini, then start it again afterward. The installer rewrites the server name (ServerName), player slots (MaxPlayers), and passwords (Password, AdminPassword) every time it runs, including during updates. To change these values, use the installer: select No One Survived again, adjust the settings, and click Update. You can enter a join password when installing with a command; the script will prompt you for it without displaying what you type.

Update the server

Updates are not installed automatically. To update, open the Game Server Installer again and select No One Survived. The installer detects the existing installation and displays Update. Alternatively, use the No One Survived (no-one-survived) - Update shortcut on the VPS. Since this immediately stops the server, create a backup first using the No One Survived (no-one-survived) - Backup shortcut. Your settings and world will be preserved.

Ports and firewall

Port	Protocol	Use
7777	UDP	Game
27015	UDP	Query

The installer opens these ports in the Windows firewall. If you start the installation from the dashboard, it also opens them in your VPS's Network Firewall. If you installed using a command, check the ports there yourself.

Backups

Use the No One Survived (no-one-survived) - Backup shortcut to save your world and server settings as a ZIP file at C:\ZapX-GameServers\_backups\no-one-survived\. Use No One Survived (no-one-survived) - Restore to restore a backup.

Your entire VPS is also backed up automatically every day. With an active ZapX Pass, you can restore these backups yourself and create your own. Learn more in Daily backups, restoration, and restricted actions.

Conclusion

Your No One Survived server is now running on your VPS. Remember to create a backup before every update. If you have questions or need help, our support team is here for you every day! 🙂
