How To Update Your Zombie Panic! Source Server

Players can only join a server that runs the same Zombie Panic! Source version as their game. With Auto Update on, your server checks Steam for a new version every time it starts and installs it, so a restart after a game update is all it takes.

Turning On Auto Update

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Updates, find the Auto Update toggle and make sure it's enabled.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

If an update can't be downloaded, the server starts on the version it already has and tries again on the next restart.
