Setup
Okay Let’s get this baby up and running, again its super easy.
Step 1 Download Windows Server Manager
You need to download the server manager HERE. I recommend downloading the .exe file it’s small and you don’t even have to unzip it. Place the EXE file on the drive you want and double click it. BOOM DONE! You don’t get any drive install options so make sure it is on the drive you want it on.
NOTE: IF you are installing this on C:\ Drive I Highly recommend to create a new folder directly on C:\GameServer (for example). then copy windowsgsm install program into this folder and run it. You will not get a install location option when you run windowsgsm.
Step 2 Setup a Server On Windows Server Manager
Install Game, in the upper left of the server manager select server, and then install game server. Select the game you want from the list. Say 7 Days to Die for example, Under server name, set the name of the server, it is what shows up in your server list I always use the game name. If I where doing a multi install I would probably use the game name and add the map name. It’s your server do what you want.
Click install, All the files are downloaded for you and your server is ready to go. You however are not ready yet because you will still need to open ports, for each game. You may also need to setup a configuration page for each game. Again, most of these are not that hard, and now a lot of them will be super easy because I am going to do another page for each game.
Supported Games, more are added all the time, and if a game is missing you can request for someone to add it on discord. The Games on the left are supported inside the WindowsGSM program and no not require a plugin. The games on the right need a plugin.
Goto the Discord channel to request a plugin.

HOLD ON NOW!!
There is no real reason to be intimidated by installing and setting up a game server. The worst thing that should happen is it doesn’t work. For those of you who just want to get in and play, your probably better off with just paying for hosting. I use and trust GPortal.
