Longvinter Server Setup Guide


Longvinter is a cozy open-world survival game featuring fishing, crafting, trading, and optional PvP. This guide covers everything you need to get your dedicated Longvinter server up and running on Legion Hosting, from first boot to player connections.

Before You Begin: Make sure you have access to your GPanel account. If you need help finding your server details, see How to Find Your Server IP and Port.

First Start in GPanel

When you first receive your Longvinter server, the game files need to be installed before you can play. Follow these steps to get your server running for the first time:

  1. Log in to GPanel and select your Longvinter server.
  2. Navigate to the Console tab. Your server will begin its initial installation automatically on first boot, downloading all necessary files via SteamCMD.
  3. Wait for the installation to complete. You will see messages indicating that the game files are being downloaded and validated. This may take several minutes depending on network speed.
  4. Once the installation finishes, the server will attempt to start. Watch the console for the message Game server is ready or similar startup confirmation.
  5. If the server does not start automatically after installation, click the Start button in GPanel.
First Boot Time: The initial installation can take 5-10 minutes. Do not restart the server during this process, as it may corrupt the installation.

Startup Variables

GPanel provides startup variables that control fundamental server launch parameters. Navigate to the Startup tab in GPanel to review and modify these:

Variable Description Default
GAME_PORT The primary game port for player connections Assigned automatically
QUERY_PORT Steam query port for server browser listing Assigned automatically
MAX_PLAYERS Maximum number of concurrent players 32

Most startup variables are pre-configured correctly. The detailed server settings are configured through the Game.ini file, covered in the next section.

Game.ini Configuration

The primary configuration file for your Longvinter server is Game.ini, located at:

longvinter-linux-server/Longvinter/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini

You can edit this file through the File Manager in GPanel, or via SFTP. Below is a breakdown of all key settings found under the [/Game/BluePrint/GameMode/BP_GameMode.BP_GameMode_C] section:

Server Identity

Setting Description Example
ServerName The name displayed in the server browser. Keep it descriptive so players can find you. ServerName=My Longvinter Server
Password Server password for private servers. Leave blank for public access. Password=mypassword123
ServerTag A custom tag used for filtering in the server browser. Helps categorize your server. ServerTag=chill,fishing,trade
ServerRegion The region tag shown in the browser. Does not affect actual server location. Common values: EU, NA, AS, OC, SA, AF. ServerRegion=NA

Gameplay Settings

Setting Description Default
MaxPlayers Maximum concurrent players allowed on the server. 32
PVP Enables or disables player-versus-player combat globally. Set to true or false. true
TentDecay Enables automatic decay and removal of inactive player tents/buildings. Set to true or false. true
MaxTents Maximum number of tents (bases) each player can place on the server. 2

Admin Settings

Setting Description Example
AdminSteamID The Steam64 ID of the server owner/admin. This player gets full admin privileges in-game. You can find your Steam64 ID on steamid.io. AdminSteamID=76561198012345678
Multiple Admins: To add multiple admins, separate their Steam64 IDs with commas: AdminSteamID=76561198012345678,76561198087654321

Example Game.ini

Here is a complete example configuration:

[/Game/BluePrint/GameMode/BP_GameMode.BP_GameMode_C]
ServerName=My Longvinter Server
MaxPlayers=32
Password=
PVP=true
AdminSteamID=76561198012345678
ServerTag=chill,fishing
ServerRegion=NA
TentDecay=true
MaxTents=2
Restart Required: After making changes to Game.ini, you must restart your server from GPanel for the changes to take effect.

How to Connect

Via Server Browser

  1. Launch Longvinter from Steam.
  2. From the main menu, select Multiplayer.
  3. Browse the server list or use the search bar to find your server by name.
  4. If your server has a password, you will be prompted to enter it.
  5. Click Join to connect.

Via Direct IP

  1. Launch Longvinter from Steam.
  2. From the main menu, select Multiplayer and then Direct Connect.
  3. Enter your server's IP address and game port in the format IP:PORT (e.g., 192.168.1.100:7777).
  4. Click Connect.
Finding Your IP: Your server IP and port are displayed on the main page of your server in GPanel. Ports are randomly assigned unless you have a private IP. For more details, see How to Find Your Server IP and Port.

Island and Map Information

Longvinter takes place on a series of islands in a shared open world. Key details about the game map:

  • Single Map: Longvinter currently features one main map with multiple islands connected by water. All players share the same world.
  • Points of Interest: The map includes various towns, fishing spots, marketplaces, and wilderness areas. Players can explore freely by foot or boat.
  • Building Zones: Players can place tents (bases) in designated areas. The MaxTents setting controls how many each player can have.
  • PvP Zones: When PvP is enabled, combat can occur anywhere. Some community servers use honor systems or designated safe zones.

Save Management and Backups

Your Longvinter server saves are stored in the following directory:

Longvinter/Saved/

This directory contains your world data, player data, and configuration files. To manage your saves:

Creating Backups

  1. Stop your server from GPanel before creating a backup to prevent data corruption.
  2. Navigate to the Longvinter/Saved/ directory using the File Manager or SFTP.
  3. Download the entire Saved folder to your local machine.
  4. Store the backup in a safe location with the date labeled for easy reference.

Restoring a Backup

  1. Stop your server from GPanel.
  2. Upload your backup Saved folder to the Longvinter/ directory, replacing the existing one.
  3. Start your server. The world will be restored to the state of the backup.
Important: Always stop your server before manipulating save files. Editing files while the server is running can cause data corruption and world loss.

World Reset

To completely reset your world and start fresh:

  1. Stop your server from GPanel.
  2. Navigate to the Longvinter/Saved/ directory.
  3. Delete the save data files (but keep your Config folder with Game.ini intact).
  4. Start your server. A new world will be generated automatically.
