Introduction

You can run a Wurm Unlimited server on your own VPS at ZapX. You have full control over the system, and the Game Server Installer gets your server set up in just a few minutes, without a Remote Desktop connection. This guide explains what you need, how the installation works, and how to manage your Wurm Unlimited server afterward.

Requirements

RequirementWurm Unlimited
Operating systemWindows Server 2019 or later
MemoryAt least 4 GB
Free disk spaceAt least 3 GB on drive C:
Info

Wurm Unlimited 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.

After installation

Once the installation is complete, the installer shows your server address under How to connect. Any passwords generated by the installer are shown once under Login credentials. Find out how to connect below.

Your server files are located on the VPS at C:\ZapX-GameServers\wurm-unlimited\:

Folder/fileContents
server\Wurm Unlimited server files
server\Adventure\Your world (databases, maps, and wurm.ini)
server\LaunchConfig.iniMemory allocated to Java
logs\server.logServer output

Ports and firewall

PortProtocolUse
3724TCPGame
27016UDPQuery

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. The server uses ports 3725 to 3727 (TCP) locally only. They are not opened and do not need to be allowed through the firewall.

The installer sets up the Adventure world from the game's template. It is located at C:\ZapX-GameServers\wurm-unlimited\server\Adventure\. The Creative template is not set up.
The server loads the name, player slots, game mode, ports, and passwords from the installer's launch command each time it starts. Make these changes in the installer, not in the world files.
