How to Change the Server Name on Your OpenRCT2 Server

Your server name is the first thing potential players see when browsing the master list. A unique and descriptive name helps your park stand out and tells players exactly what kind of experience to expect, whether it’s a “Free Build” zone or a “Hardcore Scenarios” challenge. On the GGServers panel, updating your server’s identity is quick and easy. Follow the steps below to change your server name.

Step 1: Access the Panel

Log in to your GGServers Control Panel and select your OpenRCT2 server. This dashboard is where you manage your server’s public identity and branding.

Step 2: Stop Your Server

To ensure the new name is correctly broadcasted to the master server list, you must first stop the server. Click the red Stop button on the main console. Wait for the status to show as “Offline” before proceeding to the settings menu.

Stop The Server
Always stop the server before changing its public name.

Step 3: Navigate to Server Settings

On the left-hand navigation sidebar, click on the Server Settings button. This area contains all the core technical configurations for your OpenRCT2 instance.
