Conan Exiles dedicated server startup scripts (be sure to checkout the server configuration guide here: https://gist.github.com/Dids/9564a693bb5b40cc0773cf8a5f07b4c1)

C:\steamcmd\install.bat

@echo off
steamcmd.exe +runscript install.txt

C:\steamcmd\install.txt

@ShutdownOnFailedCommand 1
@NoPromptForPassword 1
login anonymous
force_install_dir C:\ConanExiles
app_update 443030 validate
quit

start.bat

@echo off

:start

pushd C:\steamcmd
call install.bat
popd

echo Starting Conan Exiles server, please keep this window open for automatic restart to work..
echo (if you want to quit, close this window from the X, then issue CTRL-C in the server window)

pushd C:\ConanExiles
call ConanSandboxServer.exe -log
popd

echo Conan Exiles server exited, restarting..

goto start

Also could you maybe help out with a script to be integranted into above with the following logic:

installer to check every 5/10 min with Steam CMD if a new update has come out,
if new update has come out - force a server to shutdown and start from line 1 in "start.bat"

At the moment the above script does not take cognisance of new patches, if a new patch comes out the live server unless it is stopped or crashes will not have the lastest patch - an automated work around for this would be much apprichated

thank you

@Estena Automatic updating (querying Steam for updates and gracefully restarting the server) is much, much more complicated, and not feasible to do with mere batch files. I am, however, working on a production quality Windows application for managing a Conan Exiles server, which supports multiple servers, chat log, player list as well as fully automatic updates/restarts.

Now, as to running multiple servers on a single machine. I'd advice you to have a separate steamcmd.exe for each of the servers, so each of them would be in their own folders. This way, you'd also have the files above specific to each server.

For server configuration itself, I've put together a battletested guide here: https://gist.github.com/Dids/9564a693bb5b40cc0773cf8a5f07b4c1

@Dids @Estena No use -usedir=servername" instead, so you will have multiple configurations in the same server. There is absolutely no need to waste 4 times disk space for that

@Xerrion Can you elaborate on that? That doesn't seem to be a steamcmd parameter, so I'm assuming it's for Conan? Do you have a more complete example?

EDIT: Never mind, saw your post on the other gist.

@Xerrion -usedir doesn't seem to be working for me at all. Still stores all the files in the default location.

@Estena if you are still looking for that kind of functionality, you may want to check out what @Dateranoth has going on with his utility.

As for this, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, @Dids!

@Dids It's me who is a nut job, its -userdir not -usedir
