How to update your The Forest server

Run Steam Update when The Forest receives a dedicated-server patch or clients can no longer connect because their versions differ.

  1. Back up and stop the server.
  2. Click Steam Update.

    Steam Update button for The Forest server

  3. Wait for the update task to complete, then start the server.
  4. Update The Forest through Steam on your computer before reconnecting.

If you use ModAPI, check its compatibility after a game update and update it from Mod Manager where available. Disable recently added mods before assuming the base server update failed.
