Troubleshooting

Commands are not recognized. Make sure you are typing commands in the in-game chat (press T), not the console. Commands are case-sensitive and must include the leading slash.

You do not have permission to run a command. Your Steam64 ID may not be saved correctly in server_config.cfg. See how to add admins to verify your configuration.
