How to Configure Startup Parameters for Your Conan Exiles Server
Common startup parameters and launch arguments for your Conan Exiles dedicated server, including MaxPlayers, ports, and mod loading.
Most Conan Exiles settings live in the .ini files, but some options are passed as command-line parameters when the server launches. On the XGamingServer Panel, these go in Startup → startup command.
