Need help setting up Dedicated server for existing world.

[ProfessorElz]

I've downloaded the standalone dedicated server client. It boots up and works perfect at default settings, creating a world named "dedicated" but when I try to change the name to our existing world the server never starts. Would love some guidance on this. Thanks!

Did you change the server name in the .bat file?

Yep changed the info in there. When I go to start the server it says unloading unused assets.

Stops on this line. If I change everything back to default it works fine.

Give your server name as well as the world name the same

I changed the server name to Professors World. It can be whatever I want right?

Yeah i set everything up correct as far as I can tell. Recently it managed to connect once then when I went to join the server it said game version incompatible. Valheim is updated so don't know what the problem is there. Now I'm back to getting stuck on that same command line.

The thing is, if it's an already started world, the server name and world shares the same name. If the server was to be started from scratch, there wouldn't be a problem.

Is your server up to date?

How do I tell if its up to date? Yeah I didn't create the world just got the files sent to me from a friend now I'm trying to host us.

Move your file map to another path, then start the server with the name you want.

Let the server generate the map... stop the server then override the map file with the map you want to play and star the server again

Are you your steam or steamcmd?

I'm not sure how to move the file map to another path. I have the server saying its connected now but I can't find it in the community list anywhere.

I edit the files then launch the valheim dedicated server through steam.

Refresh?!? Even though the server should be available almost instantly.

Been refreshing still not popping up. Tried renaming the sever like 5 times. Still can't get anything to show up.
