How does one change the default server port?

[TTV/ProfessorFartsalot]

I've attempted changing the default query port in BaseEngine.ini from 27015 to 27020 and it's still trying to bind to 27015. Any suggestions?

i know this is an old post but did you find a solution by any chance? trying to do the same thing as you and not finding many resources

Never found a solution - the host I was working with at the time of asking actually ended up ghosting us and then disappearing to never leave a word. Sorry!

You have to change the port via the launch parameters for the server executable. If you are launching the Server tool from Steam, you can add the following to the "Launch options" under properties.

HRD_Camp -log -Port=7777 -RconPort=7778 -QueryPort=27016 -Beaconport=15000

The first parameter sets the starting map when the server launches, in this case, Horde Camp. The other parameters specify each port, which you can change to other values.

If you were to launch the server from a batch file, shell script, or shortcut, you would have to add these launch parameters to the end of that similarly.
