Startup Launch

Startup/Launching

Once you installed the server files, you may launch the server from the "InsurgencyServer" executable located in the root directory of where you installed the server. The command line should include the starting map, the scenario and any other launch parameters. For example:

Platform	Commandline
Windows	InsurgencyServer.exe Oilfield?Scenario=Scenario_Refinery_Push_Security?MaxPlayers=28 -Port=27102 -QueryPort=27131 -log -hostname="My Server"
Linux	Insurgency/Binaries/Linux/InsurgencyServer-Linux-Shipping Oilfield?Scenario=Scenario_Refinery_Push_Security?MaxPlayers=28 -Port=27102 -QueryPort=27131 -log -hostname="My Server"
