Totally Accurate Battlegrounds Dedicated Server Guide

1. Go to your Steam Library and in the panel to the left, select Tools in the dropdown menu. Find “Totally Accurate Battlegrounds Dedicated Server” in the list and click to install.

2. Right-click on “Totally Accurate Battlegrounds Dedicated Server” in your Steam Library > Manage > Browse local files. To change the server settings, open the “game_settings.txt” file.

3. The most important settings are ServerName, Relay and Password.

• ServerName: The name that will be displayed in the server browser in-game. You can only choose the name from a list of valid words, see the full list here: https://github.com/landfallgames/tabg-word-list. If you would like to use a word that is not on the list, you can create a pull request for new words on GitHub. You can run “VerifyAllowedWords.exe“ (found in the same folder as the “game_settings.txt” file) to verify the server name and description, and make sure all words are allowed.

• Relay: If you don’t have a public IP or if port forwarding sounds too tricky, it’s recommended to set Relay to “true” (recommended for most users). Everything is then sent through a relay server hosted by Unity and you should be able to play anyway. Remember that using a public IP will always increase the risk of being targeted by any sort of malicious cyber activity.

• Password: Password to access the server.

4. Once you’ve started a server with Relay turned on, you should receive a code and that should also be displayed in the server browser in-game.
