How to Update Your Unturned Server
Keep your Unturned dedicated server up to date with the latest version.
Unturned updates frequently. The game auto-updates on Steam for players, so your server needs to stay current for clients to connect.
Create a backup
In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Backups and create a backup.
Stop the server
Stop from Console.
Reinstall
On the Dashboard, click Reinstall Server. This pulls the latest server files while preserving your world, config, and plugins.
Start the server
Start from Console. Workshop mods and maps will also update automatically on startup.
After Updating
- Check RocketMod plugins — some plugins may need updates after major Unturned patches
- Verify Workshop mods — the server re-downloads Workshop content on start, but mod authors may need to update their mods
- Test connection — join from Steam to confirm
