How To Update Your GROUND BRANCH Server

By default, Game Host Bros GROUND BRANCH servers check for a new version of the dedicated server whenever they restart and install it, so players on the latest game version can always join. Your settings, admins and map list are kept.

Turning Automatic Updates On Or Off

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Updates, enable or disable Auto Update.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

While Auto Update is on, your server checks for updates every time it starts, so a restart picks up a new version once it comes out. With it off, your server stays on the version it has; turn it back on and restart to update.

GROUND BRANCH also restarts itself on a schedule, set by the ServerShutdown lines in GroundBranch/ServerConfig/Server.ini, and at least every 48 hours. Your server starts again straight away and installs any update first.

If your server still isn't on the newest version after a restart, validate its files.
