How to Automatically Update Your HumanitZ Server<\/h2>\n

Keeping your HumanitZ server updated is crucial for ensuring compatibility with the latest game patches, bug fixes, and new content drops. Manually checking for updates can be tedious, but the GGServers panel allows you to automate this process. By enabling the automatic update feature, your server will check for and apply the latest SteamCMD updates every time it boots, ensuring your survivors never miss a beat. This guide will show you how to toggle this feature on the GGServers panel.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Stop Your HumanitZ Server<\/h3>\n

Because the update process involves modifying core game files via SteamCMD, you cannot change this setting while the server is active. Access your GGServers Control Panel<\/a>, select your HumanitZ instance, and click the Stop<\/strong> button. Ensure the status shows as “Offline” before proceeding to the next step.<\/p>\n

Once the server is fully stopped, navigate to the sidebar on the left side of the panel. Click on the Server Settings<\/strong> button. This section contains the primary launch parameters and configuration toggles for your HumanitZ dedicated server.<\/p>\n

The GGServers panel automatically saves your changes, so no further action is needed in this menu.<\/p>\n
