Server Privacy — Schedule I

Server Privacy

Schedule I servers can run in two modes. Both support setting a server password.

Tip

We recommend running a public server with a password. Steam authentication verifies players are real Steam users, and the password adds a second layer of security. Private mode is simpler but skips Steam verification entirely.

Public Server (Recommended)

Steam game server authentication verifies that players own Schedule I. The server also appears on the Steam server browser (accessible from the Steam client, not in-game).

In-game, players use Direct Connect to join by IP and port. Once connected, they can save the server as a favorite for easy rejoin.

Setting	Value
Auth Provider	steam_game_server
Steam GS Anonymous	true
Server Password	(your password)

Private Server (No Authentication)

Skipping Steam authentication means anyone with the IP can connect — no Steam ownership check. A password is strongly recommended if using this mode.

Setting	Value
Auth Provider	None
Server Password	(your password)

Server Password

Set a password from the Startup tab under Server Core → Server Password. Leave empty for no password. A password works in both public and private mode.
