Not your PC for sure, the server is technically "free" but you pay with your parts' lifetime. The best to use is VPS, OVH has a great offer however only servers with the price > $5 will hold the server without problems.
Your second choice is using a hosting, Exiled hosting is the best if there isn't one hosted in your country. If you are from Poland, you can use LiveServer. You also need to have somekind of DDoS protection, all OVH servers come with free DDoS protection and it hasn't let me down!
We recommend you to choose a hosting carefully. There are hosts where users report a lot of problems, never pay for more than one month if it's your first time using this hosting.
Solution 1. Set server_ip: to auto inside of your gameplay config.
Type adminme in client console.
Command works only on non-dedicated servers (Create Game).
Open SteamCMD and type the following,
login anonymous
force_install_dir (server directory)
app_update 996560 validate
Set these to false
ff_detector_round_enabled: false
ff_detector_life_enabled: false
ff_detector_window_enabled: false
ff_detector_spawn_enabled: false

Follow this guide:How to make a server
Open up config_gameplay.txt file in
Use styled text - https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/StyledText.html
You need to create new pastebin - https://pastebin.com/ Let’s say the the new pastebin link is - https://pastebin.com/ABC Then you need to change config_gameplay.txt variable: serverinfo_pastebin_id: ABC
Documentation: http://digitalnativestudios.com/textmeshpro/docs/rich-text/
You can find it here: https://servers.scpslgame.com You can see more info on a specific server by clicking on it!
The server list is ordered as follows:
- Official class score - DESCENDING a) Global official: 3 b) Regional official and same continent: 2 c) Local official and same country: 1 d) Other cases: 0 e) Not official and different country: -1
- Distance - ASCENDING
- Server ID (newer servers, have higher IDs) - ASCENDING
- Server port - ASCENDING
TL:DR
Official server
↳ Regional server
↳ Distance
↳ Server ID (Newer servers are lower on the list.
↳ Server port (7777-7784)
Open up config_gameplay.txt file. Add the following line anywhere in the file and replace value with your email. contact_email: email@place.network
You have made a typo in either config_gameplay or config_remoteadmin.
You should try starting server with default config and progressively change next options to see where is the problem.
Open config_remoteadmin.txt.
Let's say we want to add rank ABC - you need to write it on the list
Roles:
- owner
- abc
Next configure it
abc_badge: ABC
abc_color: silver
abc_cover: true
abc_hiden: false
abc_kick_power: 0
abc_required_kick_power: 1
And assign SteamID/Discord ID to it
Members:
- 7656119801xxxxxxx@steam: abc
- 16194927652xxxxxx@discord: abc
Open config_remoteadmin.txt
At the bottom add the SteamID64 or DiscordID (Get it here) from the users that you want to give access like this
Members:
- 7656119801009xxxx@steam: owner
- 7656119811115xxxx@steam: admin
- 7656119804579xxxx@steam: moderator
- 7656119813399xxxx@steam: moderator
- 10291198045579xxxx@discord: moderator
- 19261198113919xxxx@discord: moderator
Make sure to remove the "SomeSteamId64" placeholders!

What are restricted colors? They are used in Game Staff badges, if you try to use them on your own server - they will not be visible.

ex: max_memory: 4096 This would allocate 4GB of ram to your server.
Make sure that:
Certificate store locations for different distributions:
- "/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt" // Fedora/RHEL 6
- "/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem" // OpenSUSE
- "/etc/pki/tls/cacert.pem" // OpenELEC
- "/etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/tls-ca-bundle.pem" // CentOS/RHEL 7
For example on Fedora the command would be "mkdir -p /etc/ssl/certs && ln -s /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
Although this fix should work distributions other than Ubuntu are not officially supported by Unity or SCP:SL. A guaranteed way to fix problems such as this is to move to Ubuntu.
The way you portforward can depend on what type and brand of router you have so there is no straightforward answer for this question. You can either:
Beyond this we cannot help you with portforwarding, you have to do this part yourself so please do not contact tech support members about it as we will only tell you to re-read this FAQ.
It's actually surprisingly simple to update your server to MP2. Just follow these steps:
The following links are guides that will show you how to create a server and get it on the public server list.
Windows > https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1940790742 Linux > https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1940772492
Before all
Make sure the server is up to date and isn't using smod
Make sure the server has fully loaded, ie. the last console message should be "Waiting for players..."
If you're currently running on an LTE network (mobile network connection) your ISP may be blocking certain connections. You can check with their support to see if this is the case.
You can use this nifty little program to edit your configs within a comfortable GUI https://github.com/Takail/Omicron.
Download then extract "Release.rar".
If you have any issues with the program be sure to contact @Takail#6969 for help with it.
