How to Change the Server Name on Your OpenRCT2 Server<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Access the Panel<\/h3>\n

Log in to your GGServers Control Panel<\/a> and select your OpenRCT2 server. This dashboard is where you manage your server’s public identity and branding.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n

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

\"Stop
Always stop the server before changing its public name.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step 3: Navigate to Server Settings<\/h3>\n

On the left-hand navigation sidebar, click on the Server Settings<\/strong> button. This area contains all the core technical configurations for your OpenRCT2 instance.<\/p>\n

\"Server
Open the Server Settings menu to access your configuration tabs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step 4: Open General Settings<\/h3>\n

In the Server Settings menu, select the General Settings<\/strong> tab. This section manages the fundamental information for your server, including its display name and connection rules.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Change the “Server Name” Setting<\/h3>\n

Locate the box labeled Server Name<\/strong>. Enter the new name you want to appear in the OpenRCT2 server list. The GGServers panel features an automatic save<\/strong> function, so your new name will be stored as soon as you finish typing in the box.<\/p>\n

\"Change
Type your desired server name in this box.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step 6: That is it!<\/h3>\n

Your server’s identity has been updated! Return to the main dashboard and click Start<\/strong>. Your OpenRCT2 server will now appear with its new name in the game’s multiplayer browser.<\/p>\n
