# How to Change Your Icarus Server Name (/docs/icarus/rename-server)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

The server name shown in the Icarus server browser is set via the `-SteamServerName` **startup parameter**, not the `SessionName` field in ServerSettings.ini.

> `SessionName` in ServerSettings.ini is currently broken and does not affect the browser name. Use the startup parameter instead.
