How To Change Server Region Sven Co-op Server

Changing the server region on your Sven Co-op server is a simple but important step for optimizing connection quality and improving the overall gameplay experience for your players. The server region setting allows you to categorize your server geographically in the Steam server browser, helping players find servers near them with lower latency. While this setting does not restrict players from connecting, it is a crucial factor in improving matchmaking visibility and connection performance.

To get started, log in to your GGServers Control Panel. From there, select your Sven Co-op service. Before adjusting any server settings, always stop the server to prevent data conflicts and ensure your changes save correctly. This step guarantees that all configurations are applied properly when the server restarts.

Once the server is stopped, open the left-side menu and click on the Server Settings option. This menu allows you to configure all essential aspects of your Sven Co-op server, including server name, max players, map rotation, password protection, and region settings.

From here, go to the General Settings tab. This tab is where you can adjust the core server configuration that affects how your server appears to the Steam community and how players connect to it.

Locate the field labeled Region. This option determines how your server is listed in Steam’s server browser. It is important for helping players find servers that are geographically close to them, which can reduce latency and provide a smoother gameplay experience.

Here are the available region codes and their meanings:

-1: Do not list server in the server browser

0: USA East Coast

1: USA West Coast

2: South America (continent)

3: Europe

4: Asia

5: Australia (continent, aka Oceania)

6: Middle East

7: Africa

255: International — recommended for global visibility

For most servers, 255 – International is the recommended option as it provides the widest visibility while still allowing players from any region to connect without restrictions.

After selecting the desired region, the system will automatically save your choice. All you need to do is restart your server to apply the new region settings. Once online, your server will be properly categorized in Steam’s server browser according to your selection, helping players find it quickly.

Optimizing your server region can improve your player experience, increase server visibility, and help you build a strong and active community. Combined with other settings like map rotation, max players, and password protection, region selection ensures that your Sven Co-op server is fully customized for your community.
