Understand server.cfg
The lines that matter, what each does, and the ones you must not leave at default.
3 min read
- sv_hostname — the name on the server list. This is your advertising.
- sv_maxclients — up to 2048, but your real ceiling is memory and CPU.
- sv_licenseKey — your Cfx.re key. Without it the server refuses to start.
- endpoint_add_tcp and _udp — leave these as the panel wrote them.
- rcon_password — change it. A default RCON password is a stranger running commands on your server.
- ensure lines — one per resource, in dependency order.
