Server Configuration
Conan Exiles servers can be configured extensively. The configuration of the server takes place via the config files. You can find them in the webinterface in the game server administration under Configs. To do so, open the ServerSettings.ini config file.
In the following you will find a categorized overview of all relevant commands, which you can use to freely configure your server according to your wishes. Certain commands may not be present in the Config by default. Such commands can simply be added afterwards.
General
In the general settings you will find all relevant commands to customize the server name, passwords, anti-cheat.
