Insurgency 2014 Server Setup Guide

This guild is trying to show how to setup up an Insurgency dedicated server.

1. Hardware Requirement

To run a private dedicated server for cooperation game with your friends (3-6),
believe it or not, the following machine (Linux exclusive) is good enought:

• 1 CPU core
• 1 GB Ram
• ~10 GB hard disk

Remember in your firewall and router setting:

• open 27015 UDP/TCP
• port forward for 27015 UDP/TCP, in the router, if any

2. Step up on Windows Environment

To host an Insurgency dedicated server on Windows machine, please do the following step by step -

In here, we unzip the file to the path of C:/SteamCMD (change the path by yourself)

C:/SteamCMD/steamcmd.exe

After that, entering the following cmd to download Insurgency:

start srcds.exe -usercon +maxplayers 24 +sv_lan 0 +map " sinjar_coop" -ip xxx.xxx.xxx -port yyyyy(e.g. 27015)

2.5. Kick Server

To kick the server, simple click the batch you created perviously:

apt-get install lib32z1 
apt-get install lib32gomp1
apt-get install lib32quadmath0 
apt-get install lib32stdc++6 
apt-get install lib32tinfo5

touch start.sh
chmod 744 start.sh
vi start.sh
