Start, stop, and restart your game server
Use the hosting panel and console to manage your server safely.
Open the correct panel
Find your service in the Vaded client area and follow its hosting-panel link. Select the server you want to manage.
The controls available depend on the game's hosting integration. The panel normally shows the current status and a console or log viewer.
Start the server
Choose the start control and follow the console output. Wait until the game reports that it is ready before trying to join.
Repeatedly pressing start will not resolve a startup error. Read the first useful error in the log and check the related configuration or missing file.
Stop safely
Use the normal stop control so the game can save its data. Wait for the server to become fully offline before replacing files or making a backup.
Use a forced shutdown only when a normal stop cannot complete; it can interrupt saves.
Restart after changes
Make one configuration change at a time and restart when the game requires it. Verify the change in the console and connect to confirm it worked.
If the server fails after a change, restore the last working file from your backup.
