Configure a Sven Co-op server

Billing Panel exposes the common Sven Co-op settings. The server installs and updates anonymously through SteamCMD.

1. Change startup variables

  1. Open your server in Billing Panel and choose Startup.
  2. Set Server Name, Default Map, and Max Players (2–32).
  3. Leave Password blank for a public server, or enter a join password.
  4. Set Region to 255 for international listing, or use the region value shown in the field description.

Do not change the hidden Steam App ID. Sven Co-op Dedicated Server uses App ID 276060.

2. Make advanced changes in server.cfg

Open svencoop/server.cfg in the file manager for additional cvars. Back up the file first, keep one command per line, and place quoted text inside straight double quotes.

3. Apply and verify

  1. Make sure no one is playing, then restart the server.
  2. Wait for Connection to Steam servers successful. in Console.
  3. Add the Billing Panel address and game port to Steam’s favorite servers, or connect from Sven Co-op.

The game uses the assigned UDP game port. VAC also uses its Steam service traffic automatically.

If it does not appear

  • Confirm the server state is Running.
  • Check that the startup map exists.
  • Use the exact address and port shown in Billing Panel.
  • Read the first error in Console, then open a support ticket with that error if needed.
