Doc Summary

Introduction #

In this doc you will find usefull information regarding your Insurgency Game Server at ProRedLine. After reading this doc, you’ll know how to customize your server, configure your server, and more.

Startup Variables #

Once the server has been created, you will need to configure it before it can run as expected.

On your server’s dashboard, go to the “Startup” tab. Here, you will find several settings that you can configure according to your specific needs. Below is a list of options available for your Insurgency server in the “Startup” tab:

STARTUP COMMAND and DOCKER IMAGE are read-only variables and cannot be modified.

(READ ONLY) GAME ID. This is the Steam ID for Insurgency, and it cannot be changed.
DEFAULT MAP. This is the map that loads when the game starts. You can modify this value to select a different map.

Starting your server #

Once you have configured all the settings, you can start the server by going to the “Console” tab and clicking “Start”.
Wait a few moments for the server to boot.

Changing Configurations #

If you wish to change settings not listed in the Variables section, you can edit the server’s config file. However, note that any changes to the Variables options in the “Startup” tab will override the corresponding settings in the config file. We recommend only changing values in the config file that are not listed in the Startup tab.

Updating server #

To update your server’s software, follow these steps:

Go to the “Settings” Tab: Open your server dashboard and navigate to the Settings tab.
Scroll Down: Locate the option labeled Reinstall Server.
Click on “Reinstall Server”: This will start the reinstallation process.

Important note: Reinstalling your server using this method will update the core files only. Your saved data and mods will generally remain intact, custom configurations can sometimes be reset. However, we strongly recommend creating a backup of all essential data before proceeding, as some server types may still overwrite or remove custom content.

Clean Reinstallation #

To fully reinstall your server with a clean set of software and files:

Stop the Server: Ensure your server is not running.
Delete All Files: Navigate to the Files tab, select all folders and files, and click Delete.
Reinstall the Server: Once all files are removed, follow the same steps outlined above for updating your server.

Note: This process will permanently remove all files from your server, including custom folders, mods, and configurations. This action is irreversible unless you have created a backup in advance.

Troubleshooting & Support #

If you experience issues with your server, need help with panel-related settings, or have questions about your ProRedLine service, please contact ProRedLine Support first. Support requests related to provisioning, access, panel usage, billing, or service-level concerns should always be directed to ProRedLine.

For game-specific questions, such as gameplay behavior, official game mechanics, or title-specific configuration guidance, the official Insurgency Sandstorm Support is recommended.
