    How To Update a Nitrado Server



    How to Update Your Nitrado Game Server

    Greetings friends! Keeping your Nitrado game server up to date is crucial for a variety of reasons, especially for custom maps, modded servers, and special configurations that require manual updates. Updates often include patches that fix security vulnerabilities, protecting your server from potential threats. They can also significantly improve performance by resolving bugs and optimizing operations, resulting in a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience with fewer crashes and lag issues.

    In addition, regular updates bring new content, features, and enhancements directly from game developers, ensuring that you and your friends can always enjoy the latest innovations. Staying up to date is also vital for compatibility, allowing everyone to connect and play without encountering frustrating version mismatch errors.

    Getting Started with Updating Your Nitrado Server

    The update process for our servers begins once the developers of a game announce the release of a new version. For some games, detailed patch notes outlining the changes and additions are also published for all players to see. Upon receiving this information, our systems initiate an automatic update process for the affected game servers.

    It is important to note that updates might not be available immediately after a game developer’s announcement. If an update does not become available for a long period, please contact our support team for assistance.

    Restarting Your Nitrado Server to Apply Updates

    In most cases, Nitrado Game Servers are automatically updated by simply pressing the “Restart” option on your server’s web interface. You can follow these steps to restart your server and apply any pending updates:

    1. If your server is currently online, navigate to the top right of the web interface and click on the “Restart server” button.
    2. If your server is stopped, click on “Start server” to initiate the update and bring your server online.

    This simple restart process ensures your server runs the latest version of the game.

    FAQ – Nitrado Server Update

    Do Nitrado servers update automatically?

    Yes, in most cases, Nitrado servers are configured to automatically apply updates once the game developers release them. However, updates are only available after the game files are pushed to our systems. If the game update has just been announced, it might take a few hours before it is available through Nitrado.

    How do I manually update my Nitrado server?

    You typically do not need to manually update your Nitrado server. Instead:

    • Simply restart your server from the web interface.
    • This restart checks for updates and applies the latest version if available.
    • If your server is stopped, starting it will also apply pending updates.

    What should I do if the update isn’t showing?

    If your server doesn’t update after restarting:

    • Wait a bit—updates can take up to a few hours depending on the game.
    • Check the official game patch notes or forums to confirm the update has been fully released.
    • If you still don’t see the update, contact Nitrado Support through the support portal.

    How can I check the current version of my server?

    Most game panels on Nitrado display the server version number on the dashboard. You can:

    • Compare it with the version number shown in your game client (usually in the main menu).
    • For games like ARK, this information appears in the “Server Status” or log files.

    Do modded or custom map servers require extra steps to update?

    Sometimes. While most updates are handled automatically:

    • Mods may require manual updates or a force refresh in the “Mods + Workshop” section.
    • Custom maps may need to be reinstalled or redownloaded if they’re not compatible with the new version.

    Always check mod authors’ notes after a game update.

    Can I roll back to a previous version if something breaks?

    Nitrado does not offer an official rollback function for all games. However:

    • Some games support downgrading via local backups or SteamCMD, but this must be handled manually.
    • If you’re unsure, Nitrado Support may assist depending on the game’s update structure.

    Will restarting the server affect my save files or data?

    No, restarting your server does not delete your data. It simply reloads the server with any updates or changes. However, if you’re using mods or custom configs, always make backups before applying major changes or updates.
