How To Validate The Files Of Your GROUND BRANCH Server

If your GROUND BRANCH server won't start or acts up after an update, a game file may be missing or damaged. Validating checks every server file against Steam and downloads any that don't match.

Validating Your Server Files

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

Your server checks its files every time it starts while Validate Server Files is on, so starting takes longer. Once your server runs normally again, disable it and click Save & Restart.

Your settings, admins, map list and mods in GroundBranch/ServerConfig are kept. Changes you made to the game's own files are undone.
