Two ways to make it painless:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/tools\/the-isle\/server-config\"><strong>free Isle server config generator<\/strong><\/a> to build a valid <code>Game.ini<\/code> + <code>Engine.ini<\/code> with allowed classes, then paste it into your server.<\/li>\n<li>On XGamingServer hosting, edit everything from a <strong>visual <code>Game.ini<\/code> editor<\/strong> in the panel \u2014 no file editing required.

On managed hosting you usually don&#8217;t need to find it manually \u2014 a visual config editor in the panel exposes the same settings. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/docs\/the-isle-evrima\/server-config\">config docs<\/a> show exactly where it is.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I restrict which dinosaurs players can use?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set the allowed classes in <code>Game.ini<\/code> \u2014 list only the species you want playable. This is how owners create herbivore-only or no-apex servers. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/tools\/the-isle\/server-config\">config generator<\/a> builds the allowed-classes list for you.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why aren&#8217;t my Game.ini changes taking effect?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually it&#8217;s a syntax error (a missing bracket or wrong key) or you didn&#8217;t restart the server after saving. Use a config generator to produce valid files, save, then fully restart the server so it reloads the config.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get a server with a visual <code>Game.ini<\/code> editor on <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/the-isle-evrima-server-hosting\"><strong>The Isle Evrima hosting from $10.50\/month<\/strong><\/a>. 30% off your first month with code <strong>XGAMEON<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once your The Isle: Evrima server is running, the real customization happens in the config files.
