How to Create a Starrupture Server Guide

Option #1: Renting a Starrupture server (example control panel below)

Included features

  • One-click install/updates
  • Start/stop/restart and scheduled restarts
  • Config editor (server name, ports, player cap) plus raw INI access
  • Log viewer and crash detection

Option #2: Hosting on Your Own PC or Dedicated Machine

Server Requirements

  • OS: Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2019/2022 (64-bit)
  • CPU: 4 physical cores (i5/Ryzen 5 or better)
  • RAM: 16 GB+
  • Storage: ~45 GB free
  • Network: Wired Ethernet

Step 1: Install the Server with SteamCMD

  1. Create a folder for the server, e.g. C:\Servers\Starrupture
  2. Place steamcmd.exe in that folder
  3. Create SteamCMD.bat with:
@echo off
set SR_DIR=C:\Servers\Starrupture
set SR_APPID=3809400
start "" steamcmd.exe +login anonymous ^
 +force_install_dir "%SR_DIR%" ^
 +app_update %SR_APPID% validate ^
 +quit
  1. Run SteamCMD.bat as admin

Step 2: Launch the Dedicated Server

Binary:

  • StarRuptureServerEOS.exe (installed in the server folder)

Create StartServer.bat: 

@echo off
set SR_DIR=C:\Servers\Starrupture
cd /d "%SR_DIR%"

StarRuptureServerEOS.exe ^
 -Log ^
 -MULTIHOME=YOUR.SERVER.IP ^
 -Port=7777 ^
 -QueryPort=27015 ^
 -ServerName="My Starrupture Server"

Port Forwarding

  • 7777/UDP – game
  • 27015/UDP – query

Allow the server executable through Windows Defender Firewall.

Configuration Files

  • Configs (INIs): ...\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\ (e.g., Game.ini, Engine.ini)
  • Saves/worlds: ...\Saved\SaveGames\

Stop the server before editing INIs. Back up the entire Saved folder regularly.

Common Admin Tasks

  • Change server name: edit the launch parameter -ServerName="Your Name" and restart.
  • Adjust player cap: set your desired value with -MaxPlayers=# and restart.
  • Schedule restarts: use Windows Task Scheduler to run StartServer.bat at off-hours.
  • Logs: start with -Log (console) and check ...\Saved\Logs\.

Troubleshooting

  • Server not visible: confirm ports and that -MULTIHOME matches the server’s bound/public IP.
  • Join timeouts: forward 7777/UDP and 27015/UDP to the host; avoid double-NAT/VPN on the host.
  • Lag/rubber-banding: reduce view-distance/density settings if available; keep the machine lean.
