Chivalry Windows Server Setup

1: Download and install the server files via Steam (Library > Tools). The game itself must also be installed on the machine you’ll be running it on.

2: Log in to your router and forward the following ports to the local IP of the machine that will be hosting the server – UDP: 7777, 7778, and 27015

3: In UDKGame\Config (“C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\chivalry_ded_server\UDKGame\Config”), open “PCServer-UDKGame.ini” in Notepad. Under the section [Engine.GameReplicationInfo], put your desired server name after “ServerName=”. Make sure to save your changes when you’re done. Its recommended that you make a copy of this before editing!

4: On your desktop, create a new text file called “Start Chivalry Server.txt” (or whatever you want really). Paste the following inside of it:

CD “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\chivalry_ded_server\Binaries\Win32”

UDK.exe AOCTO-Battlegrounds_v3_P?steamsockets -seekfreeloadingserver

4.2: Change the text file extension from .txt to .bat (new name “Start Chivalry Server.bat”. If you do not see file extension you need to set windows to show them. (link opens in new window.

5: Double click the .bat file and you should first see a command prompt pop up with the text above, then after a few seconds a second (blank) command prompt looking window with the Chivalry icon should come up. Feel free to close the first one after the second comes up.

6: Open the game and try to find your server! If you’re hosting it on the same computer you’re playing on you can open the console (press ` (tilde)) and enter the following command:

open 127.0.0.1

6.2: If your server is running properly it should plop you right on in shortly after hitting enter.

7: When people join (and maybe when they leave?) your server you should see a Log message in the server window that popped earlier.

8. To manage your server look at the RCON commands below.
