VeinVein Server Configuration Generator
Create your Vein server config online without writing Game.ini by hand: set the server name, password, server browser visibility, maximum player count, anti-cheat, and heartbeat in the form, or describe your server to an AI in Easy Mode. The live preview shows the finished Game.ini with your server settings, ready to copy or download. Free, no sign-up, right in your browser.

Example result
Example: the generated Game.ini
You set the options using a form or AI Easy Mode, and the generator creates the finished Game.ini for Vein live. Below are the first lines of the default configuration; your file contains your values and all other settings.

Output
; Vein — generated with the ZAP-Hosting Game Config Generator; zap-hosting.com/tools/vein/config-generator [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]ServerName=Vein ServerPassword=bPublic=TruebAntiCheatProtected=FalseHeartbeatInterval=5.0 [/Script/Engine.GameSession]MaxPlayers=16 [OnlineSubsystemSteam]bVACEnabled=FalseSettings
Configure these server settings in your Vein server's Game.ini
The generator groups the server settings into three sections. The key and section where each value appears in Game.ini are shown in parentheses.
Server identity
Server name (ServerName, up to 100 characters, default “Vein Server”), join password (Password, leave blank for an open server), public server browser listing (bPublic, on by default), and maximum player count (MaxPlayers, 1–64, default 16). MaxPlayers is in the [/Script/Engine.GameSession] section; the other values are in [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession].
Anti-Cheat
Vein's own anti-cheat protection (bAntiCheatProtected in [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]) and Valve Anti-Cheat (bVACEnabled in [OnlineSubsystemSteam]). These are two separate switches, both off by default.
Heartbeat
How often the server contacts the master server to remain in the server list (HeartbeatInterval in [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession], 1–300 seconds, default 5).
The generator covers these seven Game.ini settings. It doesn’t generate admin lists (AdminSteamIDs) or gameplay values such as PvP, zombies or loot from Engine.ini.
Guide
How to configure your Vein server with Game.ini
From the first setting to a running server: how to get Game.ini onto your Vein server.
- 1
Step 1
Open generator
The generator starts with the default Vein Game.ini values, which you can see immediately in the live preview. If you already have a Game.ini, upload it using the toolbar’s import option or paste its contents. Lines the generator doesn’t recognize are preserved.
- 2
Step 2
Choose Easy Mode or the form
In Easy Mode, describe your server in your own words, for example, “a small password-protected server for friends, not publicly listed.” AI suggests suitable values and explains each change. Only the suggestions you select are applied. In Advanced Mode, you set each option yourself.
- 3
Step 3
Set server identity
Enter a server name and, optionally, a join password. Choose whether the server appears in the public server browser and set the maximum player count between 1 and 64.
- 4
Step 4
Configure anti-cheat and heartbeat
Enable or disable Vein's own anti-cheat and Steam VAC independently, and adjust the heartbeat interval to the master server if needed (1–300 seconds).
- 5
Step 5
Check and save the config
Check Game.ini in the live preview. Then copy its contents, download the file, or share a link without the password.
- 6
Step 6
Upload and restart server
Upload Game.ini to your server at Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini on Linux or Vein\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\Game.ini on Windows, for example using the File Manager. Then restart the server, as Vein only reads Game.ini at startup.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
File location, server settings, visibility, anti-cheat, Easy Mode, and admin lists—quick answers.
On a Linux server, you’ll find it at Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini; on a Windows server, at Vein\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\Game.ini. On your ZAP-Hosting server, you can view and edit it directly through the File Manager in the ZapX Customer Panel.
Server name, join password, listing in the public server browser (bPublic), maximum player count (1–64, default 16), Vein’s built-in anti-cheat, Steam VAC, and the heartbeat interval to the master server (1–300 seconds, default 5). The generator does not create admin lists or gameplay values such as PvP, zombies or loot from Engine.ini.
No — the download gives you a ready-to-upload Game.ini for the File Manager. Vein only reads this file on startup, so you need to restart the server for your changes to take effect.
The public server browser option (bPublic) controls this. For a private server for friends, turn it off and set a join password; Easy Mode has a suitable example. If your public server isn’t listed, check whether bPublic is enabled and look at the heartbeat interval: It determines how often the server contacts the master server to stay listed. Restart the server after each change.
These are two separate switches in different sections of Game.ini: bAntiCheatProtected in [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession] enables Vein's own anti-cheat protection, while bVACEnabled in [OnlineSubsystemSteam] enables Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC). Both are off by default and can be set independently.
Describe the server you want in your own words, for example, “a public server with VAC and a shorter heartbeat interval.” AI suggests suitable settings and explains each change. You choose which suggestions to apply; nothing changes without your confirmation. Your join password is not sent to the AI.
The join password is not saved in share links and is masked in the form. A share link contains only the non-secret values you deliberately changed.
No, deliberately. In a real customer case, an admin Steam ID was written to the configuration with a leading “+”, preventing the admin from being recognized. Add admins directly to Game.ini instead: one AdminSteamIDs=- line per admin, without a leading “+”. If you import a Game.ini like this later, those lines will be preserved in the generated file.
The generator is free and requires no sign-up: You can use the form, Easy Mode, import, copy, download and sharing features without an account. Game.ini is generated directly in your browser. Only Easy Mode suggestions send your description and current values to the AI, without the password.
