How to Set Up RCON on Your The Isle: Evrima Server

How to enable RCON for remote administration — The Isle uses a custom protocol, not standard Source RCON.

Enabling RCON

Must be set in two places in Game.ini:

[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]

bRconEnabled=true
RconPassword="your_password"
RconPort=8888

[/Script/Engine.Game]

RconEnabled=true
RconPassword=your_password
RconPort=8888

Port 8888 TCP must be open.

Compatible RCON Tools

⚠️ Standard RCON tools (mcrcon, etc.) will NOT work. The Isle uses a custom protocol.
