How to change the playlist on your Insurgency server

Insurgency reads its active playlist from server.cfg. The current package uses the full playlist name, such as nwi/pvp_sustained; the old tacticalop and sustained shorthand values should not be used.

  1. Stop the server and open Configuration Files.
  2. Click Text Editor beside server.cfg.
  3. Find sv_playlist and enter one of the values below.
  4. Save the file and start the server.
PlaylistValue
Sustained PvPnwi/pvp_sustained
Co-operativecoop
Customcustom
sv_playlist nwi/pvp_sustained

Restarting is required because the playlist is selected when the server launches. If it appears unchanged, reopen the file and confirm the saved line contains no quotation marks or trailing comment.
