Project Zomboid server guide

Keep your Project Zomboid server updated

Press Update in HaruHost to update the server on its branch. An automation can do it for you when Project Zomboid updates, with a backup and a warning to players first, so the server matches players' games.

Update automatically

  1. Create an automation that runs when the game updates.
  2. Add a server message, a backup, then the update and a start.

The branch

The server stays on the branch you chose. To move to another build, see Build 42 and Build 41.

Mods

Workshop mods update when the server starts. A scheduled restart keeps them in step with players.

Questions

Why do players see a version mismatch?

The server or the player is on an older version. Update the server, and check both are on the same branch.
