Duel and deathmatch servers are light; 64-player Frontline battles with horses and siege weapons need the most. Single-core speed matters most. | Feature | **Duels** Up to 16 slots | Recommended **Skirmish and Horde** Up to 32 slots | **Frontline** Up to 64 slots | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Memory (RAM)Working memory for the world, the players and every mod.

Set MaxSlots in Game.ini or with the -MaxSlots start option; the sample config starts at 16. ### Which ports does the server use? 7777 for the game, 27015 for Steam queries and 15000 for the beacon port by default, set with -Port, -QueryPort and -BeaconPort. ### Why are my Game.ini changes lost? The server writes Game.ini again when it shuts down, so changes made while it runs are overwritten. Stop the server, edit the file and start it again. ### How do I add mods? Find the mod’s ID on mod.io and add it as a Mods line in Game.ini, one per line. Players download the mods automatically when they join a modded server. ### How do I set the map rotation? Add one MapRotation line per map and mode to Game.ini, for example a Frontline map followed by a Skirmish map. The server cycles through them in order. ### How do I become an admin? Set AdminPassword in Game.ini, then log in with that password through the game console on the server. Change the placeholder password before you start. ### Can I still run Horde maps? Yes. Triternion keeps every Horde map available for community servers, so you can host Horde nights for your group. ### Can console players join my server? Since June 2024 PC, PlayStation and Xbox players play together on official servers. Triternion has not documented console access to community servers, so plan your server for PC players. ### Does the Linux server run every mod? Not always: some mods only work on the Windows server. If your mod list needs them, run the Windows build. ## Ready to draw your sword? Tell us your modes, slots and mods, and we will help you pick the right Mordhau server.
