Problem Description

Issue

I would like to change the server port in the serverconfig.xml, but everytime I start the server the serverconfig.xml file gets resetted. I tried changing other values like server name, but every change gets overridden by starting the server. I did the changes while the server was stopped and also confirmed that they have been saved by reopening the file before trying to start the server.

Reproduction Steps

  • stop gameserver (if it is running)
  • edit any value in serverconfig.xml (in my case ServerPort)
  • start the gameserver
  • check port that the server is running on and also check resetted serverconfig.xml

You’re not supposed to edit the XML file, go up to the instances list and click the edit button for the instance and change the ports there.
