Download the steamcmd and extract it wherever you want
Start the steamcmd.exe and wait until it's finished
Create a text file beside the steamcmd.exe , name it update.txt, open the file and enter the following line
steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir gameservers/ETS2server +login anonymous +app_update 1948160 +quit pause
Save the file as update.bat and double clickt it (wait until it's finished)
Go to your ets2 gamefolder located in "C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2" and create a textfile called "server_config.txt" and enter following lines(replace everything you need) and save the file as "server_config.sii":

SiiNunit { server_config : myserver { lobby_name: "My Server" description: "Test Server" welcome_message: "" password: YOURVERYSECRETPASSWORD max_players: 8 max_vehicles_total: 100 max_ai_vehicles_player: 50 max_ai_vehicles_player_spawn: 50 connection_virtual_port: 100 query_virtual_port: 101 connection_dedicated_port: 27015 query_dedicated_port: 27016 server_logon_token: "" player_damage: true traffic: true hide_in_company: false hide_colliding: true force_speed_limiter: false mods_optioning: true service_no_collision: false in_menu_ghosting: false name_tags: true friends_only: false show_server: true moderator_list: 0 } }
Start ets2 and join the game. Open the console and type "export_server_packages"
Time to start the server. Move to YOUR_STEAMCMD_FOLDER\gameservers\ets2\bin\win_x64 and double click the exe
Congrats!!! You successfully created your server :)

In case you can't see your server in the serverlist you may have to forward ports.

TCP port 27015-27016
UDP port 27015-27016

how to change version game server? We have install mod for 1.47, but server auto update to 1.48 :/

@TheFrozenThr0ne

Thanks for that! I couldn't figure out why I couldn't see my server. Wasted another 40 minutes fiddling with different ports and stuff.

make sure if you remove the password to replace it with "" for no password, or you'll get error on server start.

@d-luX

Are you sure you know what are you talking about?

"Stepqen 9. Dez.
I am trying to do this on a dedicated server ("VPS" hosting) and it's not working"

Is is a VPS host, since when you need to open ports. Its called Firewall which you need to whitelist that includes all ports to be opend.

And second your Server config settings differs from the original, actually you made changes at your server and just copy the config here.

mods_optioning: true

Server will not showing under the standard server browser filter with "mods and dedicated server" because of that setting.

how about multiple instances? how do people state the custom filenames?

d-luX [author] 9 Dec, 2022 @ 8:03pm

@stepqen you may have to open the ports: 27015 and 27016
