Why to Update

Whenever a new update is released, you're advised to update your server. Usually this involves bug fixes, stability improvements and security improvements, next to the general new features etc. that are introduced.

To receive news about updates when they come out, either follow the discord server's “update” channel, look out for it on the forums, or look at / ask the GitHub releases page.

If you are using a BeamMP partnered hosting provider, the instructions below likely won't work. We recommend waiting for more details from your hosting provider, or contacting them for assistance.

Managing the server yourself

The server is updated by replacing the old executable with the new one. If you are unsure how to do this, there are step-by-step instructions for Windows and Linux below.

If you built from source, you just rebuild. Make sure to run git submodule update --init --recursive before you rebuild.

On Windows

  1. Go to BeamMP.com and click the “Download Server” button.
  2. Once downloaded, extract the zip file. You should see a few files, one of them the BeamMP-Server.exe. We will call this one the “new executable”.
  3. Go to the folder where your current BeamMP-Server.exe executable is located (same folder where your ServerConfig.toml is, usually). We will call this one the “old executable”.
  4. Replace the old executable with the new executable (for example by copying or moving the new executable into the folder).
