Editing Dedicated Server Hosting Guide (section)

= Launch Parameters =

If you are launching via Steam, you can set the following into the Launch parameters under the General tab of the properties for the Server tool. Otherwise, these could be set within the windows shortcut, batch file, bash script, or directly from the command line when the server is launched. Tools such as WindowsGSM or LinuxGSM may provide separate config files to allow you to specify these.

Some external server hosts may let you modify these values from their website control panel, if they do not, you may need to contact them directly to have these changed.
