Wreckfest 2 Dedicated Server

This module installs, launches, monitors, and backs up Wreckfest 2 dedicated servers.

Status

NEEDS LIVE TEST. Current Steam identity, executable, config generation, and launch arguments pass static host validation. The dedicated server tool remains Early Access, and end-to-end behavior requires a current live server.

Installation

WindowsGSH installs anonymous SteamCMD app 3519390 (the dedicated-server tool is currently available anonymously) and launches Wreckfest2.exe directly.

Configuration

Before every launch, WindowsGSH writes the configured server name, description, and game port into server-data/server_config.scnf, a JSON document under the net server config array. Existing keys and the rest of the file are preserved; only name, description, and game port are overwritten. The server is started with --server --save-dir=server-data.

Networking

Purpose	Default	Protocol	Exposure
Game traffic	40050	UDP	Public; firewall/UPnP eligible

Query, console, and administration

WindowsGSH reports supervised process state. RCON and remote administration are not advertised until implemented and verified.

Files and backups

• Executable: Wreckfest2.exe
• Configuration and saves: server-data/server_config.scnf
• Backup target: server-data directory (required)

Known limitations

• The dedicated server tool is Early Access; its server_config.scnf schema may change without notice.
• RCON is not implemented.
• Only server name, description, and game port are managed by WindowsGSH; other server_config.scnf fields must be edited manually and are preserved as-is.

Beta verification checklist

• Fresh-install/update app 3519390 and verify Wreckfest2.exe.
• Confirm server_config.scnf is created or merged correctly, preserving unrelated keys.
• Start, attach, restart WindowsGSH, stop, and confirm server-data integrity.
• Verify direct connection and player join on UDP 40050.
• Test direct and WindowsGSM serverfiles imports using Copy and Adopt.
• Back up and restore server-data.
