Wreckfest 2 Dedicated Server is a free Steam tool, app 3519390, which Bugbear calls the community server. Since Content Update 7 it ships with a server configuration guide. ### How many drivers can join? Wreckfest 2 runs multiplayer races and derbies with up to 24 players and bot support. The maximum number of participants and the bot count are set per event in the playlist file. ### Which port does the server use? The game port in server\_config.scnf, 30100 over UDP by default. Every server on a machine needs its own port and its own save folder. ### Which files hold the settings? server\_config.scnf holds the name, description, password, port and cup settings. Events live as .becl playlists in the save folder, and server\_cup\_config.ccnl defines the cups. ### Who is admin on the server? Since Content Update 7 the Steam account that launched the server is promoted to admin automatically, and a setting turns this off. Admins and moderators can ban players from the player list. ### How do cups work? Each cup in server\_cup\_config.ccnl has its own playlist, point distribution and car restrictions. Since Content Update 6 players vote on the next cup. ### What is a spec lobby? A lobby where car upgrades and tuning are turned off, so everyone races the same cars. Since Content Update 7 a server can also force the inboard camera. ### Can I use mods? Not yet. Bugbear plans mod support during Early Access or at the 1.0 launch at the latest. ### Can I protect the lobby with a password? Yes. Servers can have a password since the first update in March 2025, and the server’s address is no longer shown in the lobby. ### Does the server need updates? Yes. Wreckfest 2 is in Early Access and updates often; keep the server on the same version as your players so they can join. ### Which platforms can join? Today Wreckfest 2 is on PC through Steam. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions are announced for the 1.0 release. ## Ready for the next wreck? Tell us your grid size and events, and we will help you pick the right Wreckfest 2 server.
