"Soft" And "Hard" Resets? What're Those?

A "Soft" reset is a reset of the game world, deleting the world map save, player data, and basic gameplay components, such as loot and zombies/bodies.

A "Hard" reset is a complete reinstall of the game on the server.



How Do I Do A Soft Reset?


We have developed a custom commandline to do this for you, so it's rather easy.

To do this, we need to go to the game/server panel and log into it.

Now we need to go to the Commandline Manager

As you can see, we have this nifty commandline called "Softreset" so we need to select that commandline.

Now all we need to do is go back to the main server panel menu, and start the server.


Start the server, let it run for a couple minutes 10 minutes should do, then stop it.

Go back to "Commandline Manager"

Then, reselect the commandline you had before starting the soft reset
