How to save and shut down the server? Before i used CTRL+C to quit & save…
so can you do it with battle eye? anyway to make it searchable?
I would like to mention that the batchfile should have "start /W SteamCMDsteamcmd.exe +force_install_dir ..server +login anonymous +app_update 2430930 validate +quit" without the /W both programs start at the same time and you dont need to bother running the update check.
How do you add mods? Cant find a tutorial for this :/
