How To Update Your Natural Selection 2 Server

By default, Game Host Bros Natural Selection 2 servers check Steam for a new version whenever they restart and download it, so your server stays up to date. Your configs, admins and settings 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 a new version every time it starts, so a restart installs an update once it comes out. With it off, your server stays on the version it has, and players on a newer version may not be able to join; turn it back on and restart to update.
