How to Wipe & Reinstall Your The Isle Evrima Server
Reset player progress on your The Isle Evrima server or perform a full reinstall.
Wipes all player dinosaur progress (growth, skill, location) but keeps your server config and admin list.
Create a backup
In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Backups and save your current state.
Stop the server
Stop from Console.
Delete player save data
Click Files in the sidebar. Navigate to TheIsle/Saved/ and delete the PlayerData/ and Database/ folders (if present). Do not delete the Config/ folder — that's your server settings.
Start the server
Start from Console. All players will start fresh on next join — new hatchlings, no growth, no progression.
Warning: Player wipes are irreversible. All dinosaur growth, skill points, and stored characters are permanently lost. Always back up first.
Removes everything — config, admin list, save data. Only do this if you have corrupted server files or want to start completely from scratch.
Export Game.ini
Before reinstalling, click Files in the sidebar and download TheIsle/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini. You'll want to restore it after the reinstall.
Create a backup
Go to Backups and save everything.
Stop the server
Stop from Console.
Delete all files
In Files, select all files and delete them.
Reinstall
On the Dashboard, click Reinstall Server. Fresh files download from the Evrima beta branch.
Reconfigure
Start the server once to generate fresh config files, then stop. Upload your saved Game.ini (or recreate your settings). Re-add admins. Start the server.
Force Save Before Wiping
If you want to make a final save before wiping (e.g., to keep an event server's final state as a backup), use RCON:
save FinalEventBackupThis creates a named backup of the current state. See RCON Setup.
