Common problems
The panel's Default Map takes the map's folder and name on the Linux type (Grad/FL_Grad) and the full path on the Windows type (/Game/Mordhau/Maps/Grad/FL_Grad). MapRotation lines in Game.ini take just the map name (FL_Grad).
Mods go under [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession] in Game.ini, one Mods= line per ID. Restart after editing.
Log in as admin with adminlogin <password> in the console (backtick key). Add your PlayFab ID with an Admins= line in Game.ini to skip that step (the playerlist console command shows each player's PlayFab ID).
Server missing from the browser after a patch? Restart it so auto update brings it to the same build as players.
Server not responding
Make sure the server is online. Servers sleep after 4 days with nobody playing, and anyone with access can start them again from the dashboard in one click.
Use the server address
Do not use localhost, 127.0.0.1 or your own IP from a home hosting guide. Copy the exact address of the server.
No port forwarding or firewall changes
Opening ports on your router is only for hosting a server at home, so there is nothing to change to join this one. If Windows asks whether to let the game through the firewall, choose Allow.
Modding your Mordhau server
Mordhau mods live on mod.io: custom maps, game modes and Horde variants. Add each mod ID to Game.ini and players get them on join.
Mordhau server hosting, explained
Mordhau is first and third person medieval melee where the skill is in feints, morphs, drags and reading the other player's swing. Big servers run Frontline and Invasion with dozens of players, cavalry, ladders and siege engines. Smaller ones host duel yards, team fights or co-op Horde. Community servers have always been the heart of the game, from strict duel rules to chaotic modded fun servers.
With your own server you decide the map, the player cap, who gets admin and whether the public can get in. Duel communities use a password and their own etiquette. Clans run practice servers for scrims. Mod lovers build a rotation of custom maps from mod.io. Events like tournaments, roleplay battles and community nights all start with a server someone owns.
The panel has max players from 1 to 60, server name, game password, admin password, default map and auto update. There are two server types, the native Linux build and the Windows build, and you can switch between them in the panel. Game.ini is in the file manager for map rotation, admins and mods. Admins log in from the in game console and can kick, ban and change maps on the fly.
Mordhau is an Unreal Engine game and player count drives memory. A duel server or small fights up to 24 players run well on 4 GB. Frontline or Invasion at 48 players, the default, belongs on 8 GB, and that also covers a moderate mod list. Fill all 60 slots with a long list of maps and mods and 12 GB keeps it smooth.

Common questions
How many players can a Mordhau server hold?
Up to 60 in our setup, with 48 as the default. Frontline feels best with 40 or more, duel servers work at any size.
How do I add mods to my server?
Copy the numeric mod ID from mod.io and add a Mods= line for each one under [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession] in Game.ini, then restart. Players download the mods on join.
Can Epic Games Store players join?
Yes. Steam and Epic players on PC use the same community servers.
Can console players join my server?
Mordhau added crossplay between PC, PlayStation and Xbox in June 2024, but it is built around official servers. Expect your community server to be a PC crowd.
How do I become admin in game?
Set an admin password in the panel, open the console with the backtick key and type adminlogin followed by the password. Or add your PlayFab ID as Admins= in Game.ini; the playerlist console command shows it.
How do I set the map rotation?
Set the starting map in the panel and add MapRotation= lines in Game.ini, one per map, using just the map name, like MapRotation=FL_Grad.
Which server type should I pick?
Start with the native Linux type. The Windows build is there if a mod or setting only works with it, and you can switch in the panel.
Can I run a co-op Horde server?
Yes. Start a Horde map, such as one from the map list or a Horde mod from mod.io, and cap the slots for your group.
Is GamezServers affiliated with Mordhau?
No. You rent and control your own dedicated Mordhau server. GamezServers is not affiliated with the game's developer or publisher.
Can my friends and I split the cost?
Yes. At checkout choose "Me and my friends" and up to 10 people each pay their own share with their own card, on any plan length, from 3 days to a year. It is not a payment plan: nobody pays in parts over time, each friend simply pays their own share. You pay yours, send each friend their link, and the server starts straight away. Each share includes a $1 payment fee.
Can I build a custom plan?
Yes. Every game has a Build your own page: pick any amount of RAM up to 32 GB, any length from 3 days to 1 year, prepaid or a subscription, plus your server type and settings. A custom size costs 15% more per GB than the standard plans next to it.
Can I pay once instead of a subscription?
Yes. Pick Prepaid and pay once for 3 days, 30 days, 6 months or a year. Nothing renews: when the time is up the server pauses and keeps its world for 14 days. Add time or switch to a subscription from your panel any time. Short rentals cost more per day, since every server is set up from scratch.
How fast is setup, really?
Your server starts building the moment Stripe confirms payment. Most are online in under a minute, and the address and login appear on your dashboard automatically.
