How to Configure Your MORDHAU Server

2. Sep 2026 3 Min. Lesezeit

Almost everything about how your MORDHAU server behaves, from player limits to admin access, is controlled through two configuration files: Game.ini and Engine.ini. This guide covers where to find them and how to safely edit the settings players and server owners ask about most.

⚠️ Important Warning: Always make sure your server is completely stopped on your MintServers panel before editing either config file. MORDHAU holds its settings in memory while running and will overwrite your changes with the old values when it shuts down.

Step 1: Finding The Config Files

Log into your MintServers panel and click Stop to safely shut down your server.
Navigate to the Files tab on the left-hand sidebar.
Browse to Mordhau/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/. Both Game.ini and Engine.ini are in this folder.

📋 Note: If a heading like [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession] does not already exist in the file, add it yourself above the setting. If it already exists further down the file, add your setting underneath it instead of creating a duplicate heading.

Step 2: Common Game.ini Settings

Open Game.ini in the text editor and add or edit the settings below under the [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession] heading.

📄 Game.ini

[/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession]
MaxSlots=24
ServerPassword=YourPasswordHere
AdminPassword=YourAdminPasswordHere
Admins=76561198000000001
MapRotation=FFA_Camp
MapRotation=FFA_Contraband
MapRotation=FFA_Highland

MaxSlots sets the maximum number of player slots. Going much past 64 tends to hurt server performance.
ServerPassword makes your server private. Leave it blank for a public server.
AdminPassword lets any player log in as an admin in-game with the AdminLogin console command. Only share this with people you fully trust, since admins can add further admins themselves.
Admins permanently grants admin access to a specific PlayfabID, no login required. Add one Admins= line per person.
MapRotation controls which maps appear in the in-game map vote. Add one MapRotation= line per map.

💡 Pro Tip: If you set a Server Password, players can skip the search bar entirely and connect straight from the in-game console with open ?ServerPassword=. See our guide on How to Join Your MORDHAU Server for more on connecting directly by IP.

Step 3: Tick Rate (Engine.ini)

Tick rate controls how often the server updates, and is set in Engine.ini instead of Game.ini. It needs to be added under both headings shown below to apply to online and LAN connections.

📄 Engine.ini

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]
NetServerMaxTickRate=120
LanServerMaxTickRate=60

[IpDrv.TcpNetDriver]
NetServerMaxTickRate=120
LanServerMaxTickRate=60

⚠️ Important Warning: Raising the tick rate and the player count at the same time compounds quickly and can overload the server. Increase one at a time and keep an eye on performance before pushing further.

Other Settings

Game.ini also supports more advanced options, including workshop mods, RCON, Discord webhook logging, and per-game-mode overrides for things like round duration and damage multipliers. These go beyond the basics covered here. If you need help setting one of these up, open a support ticket and our team can walk you through it.

Once your settings are saved, start your server back up from the Console tab to apply the changes. If something does not seem to be taking effect, no worries! Just open a support ticket and our team will gladly take a look.
