Install and Setup Serverthrall

If you are installing Serverthrall for an existing server that you are already running, follow these instructions instead: Install on an existing server. If you have any issues, ask for help in our discord https://discord.gg/5dK2TdN

Installation

1. Download ServerThrall
2. Unzip somewhere on your computer
3. Run serverthrall.exe, this will start downloading the Conan Exiles dedicated server
4. Once the download finishes it will start up your new Conan Exiles server. Close the dedicated server, and serverthrall before you start configuring it.

At this point, if your server is hosted on the computer you want to play on, you should be able to see and join your server in Steam, Conan Exiles server browser, and the direct connect feature. If you are hosting it on a separate dedicated machine and can't see your server, then read the section on Ports and Multihome below.

Ports and Multihome

If you are not using a purchased dedicated machine, you'll need to forward ports. The default unreal engine game server port is 7777, which is used to connect to Conan Exiles itself. The second port is 27015 by default and it's the port that Steam uses to connect to Conan Exiles. If you need to change those ports for any reason, you can specify them in the ServerConfig plugin

Multihome is a setting that you should not need to set in most cases. It's primarily used if you are playing on the same computer that you are hosting your server on. In that case, ServerThrall automatically sets your MULTIHOME setting to your computers IP address if it is a LAN address like 192.168.x.x.

In most other cases, you will not need it unless you are a networking power user. If you need to override it manually, you can do so by adding this to your [ServerThrall] section of serverthrall.config like so...

[ServerThrall]
multihome=10.8.3.92
