To participate in these tests, you must configure your server to pull files from a specific Beta ID. Using the GGServers game panel, switching between the stable and beta versions is a simple process. Follow the steps below to update your server&#8217;s Beta ID.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Access the GGServers Control Panel<\/h3>\n<p>To start, log in to your account at the <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.ggservers.com\/\">GGServers Control Panel<\/a>. Select your Pavlov VR instance from the dashboard to open the management interface.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n<p>Changing the Beta ID requires the server to download new files or re-verify existing ones. You must <strong>Stop<\/strong> your server before making this change to ensure the SteamCMD update process can run without being blocked by an active game process.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"121\" height=\"56\" class=\"wp-image-17502\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32.png\" alt=\"How to stop your Pavlov VR server\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32.png 121w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-50x23.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-60x28.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-100x46.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 121px) 100vw, 121px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stop the server before modifying version settings.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Navigate to Server Settings<\/h3>\n<p>Look at the navigation menu on the left side of your screen.
