Day of Dragons – Dedicated Server Configuration Guide

To set up a dedicated server for Day of Dragons, you have options for both Linux and Windows operating systems. These servers come bundled with Day of Dragons on Steam and can be accessed through Steam Tools in your Steam Library. If you’re downloading directly from the Steam client, find Steam Tools in the dropdown menu at the top left (ensure the “أدوات” option is checked). بدلاً عن ذلك, you can also obtain the Day of Dragons Dedicated Server via SteamCMD using the app id 1088320.

After installation, locate the appropriate directory based on your Windows operating system:

/Dragons/Saved/Config/LinuxServer" for Linux or "/Dragons/Saved/Config/WindowsServer

Within this directory, locate and open the “Game.ini” file using a text editor.

Ensure the first line of the “Game.ini” file precisely matches the following header:

[/game/_dev/runtime/classes/dragonsgi.dragonsgi_c]
