How to Enable Auto Update for Your Barotrauma Server

In the crushing depths of Europa, an outdated server version is a quick way to sink your campaign. Enabling Auto Update for Barotrauma ensures that your server automatically fetches the latest Steam patches and submarine data every time it boots. This prevents version mismatch errors and keeps your crew synchronized. Follow the steps below to automate your maintenance through the GGServers panel.

Step 1: Access the Panel

Log in to your GGServers Control Panel and select your Barotrauma server. This dashboard is where you control all automated deployment and maintenance features.

Step 2: Stop Your Server

To modify the startup sequence and allow SteamCMD to safely check for file updates, you must first stop the server. Click the red Stop button on the main console and wait for the status to show “Offline.”
