PC 16.4 server files

Yes you can. Depends upon how you setup the game on the server. There are two ways to do that... Actually possibly 3. The first way is to use the steam console to setup the server, albeit since I haven't done it this way I don't know if you can get 16.4 this way. The 2nd way (bestest, easiest and quickest) is to install steam on the server - please note that if you use your own, then you can't be logged into it with your gaming machine when you're working on the server. Then follow

. The 3rd possibility is if you're renting the server and they support different versions they will either have directions or put in a support ticket asking for 7 Days To Die Alpha 16.4.
Generally people want 16.4 for Starvation Mod, after its setup on the server you can then follow Mortelentus directions.

Please note that Starvation needs a decent system as recommended. Do everything you can not to get poisoned early on.

 
I always use the "Steam Console Client" (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD). It does not require a steam account and is quick and easy.

force_install_dir /home/sd

app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental

Adjust the install dir if using Windows to something like c:\sd or wheverer you want to put the server files. I'm not sure if 17.4 is the default or not at this time, but including "-beta latest_experimental" on the app_update line will get it for you. You can also try "-beta a17.4"

app_update 294420 -beta a17.4

Please note that if you use an invalid beta, it will not complain or tell you so, it will just download the default version, which may not be what you want. So after you get it downloaded, make sure it really is the version you wanted. I think the only way to find out the version is to run the server and then either telnet into it, or look at the server log. You will find a line like this:

2019-06-08T09:28:24 0.123 INF Version: Alpha 17.4 (b4) Compatibility Version: Alpha 17.4, Build: Linux 64 Bit

(or it will say Windows 64 bit if you are running under windows)
