For scheduled maintenance, consider setting up [automatic restarts](\u002Fwiki\u002Fgeneral\u002Fautomatic-restarts) instead.\n\n## Reinstall your server\n\n1. Log into the [Game Control Panel](https:\u002F\u002Fgamepanel.hosthavoc.com\u002F) and navigate to your server.\n2. Stop your server.\n3.

This guide covers Windows, where the tool is called WinMTR.\n\n1. Download WinMTR from [sourceforge.net\u002Fprojects\u002Fwinmtr](https:\u002F\u002Fsourceforge.net\u002Fprojects\u002Fwinmtr\u002F).\n2. Unzip the downloaded file to your local computer.\n3.

Wait until the **Sent** column reaches at least 50 intervals.\n7. Click **Stop**, then click **Copy to clipboard**.\n8. Paste the report into your support ticket.\n\n## What the output looks like\n\nA completed WinMTR report looks similar to the example below:\n\n```\n|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n|                                   WinMTR statistics                                      |\n|                       Host                    -   %  | Sent | Recv | Best | Avrg | Wrst | Last |\n|------------------------------------------------|------|------|------|------|------|------|\n| ip-192-168-0-1.ec2.internal            -    0 |  296 |  296 |    0 |   11 |   29 |   12 |\n| ip-10-73-64-1.ec2.internal             -    0 |  296 |  296 |    7 |   11 |   25 |    9 |\n| ip-10-0-71-101.ec2.internal            -    0 |  296 |  296 |   20 |   24 |   45 |   23 |\n| ip-10-0-18-69.ec2.internal             -    0 |  296 |  296 |   19 |   23 |   40 |   21 |\n| et-101-0-51.mpr02.tor151f.fibrenoire.ca -   0 |  296 |  296 |   18 |   25 |   88 |   27 |\n| et-0-0-2.mpr02.mtletx2.fibrenoire.ca   -    0 |  296 |  296 |   25 |   31 |   93 |   28 |\n| IP-208-94-110-74.static.fibrenoire.ca  -    0 |  296 |  296 |   25 |   29 |   51 |   28 |\n| core.mtl.dedicated.com                 -    0 |  296 |  296 |   29 |   50 |  142 |   65 |\n| 64.74.161.178                          -    0 |  296 |  296 |   24 |   27 |   36 |   30 |\n|________________________________________________|______|______|______|______|______|______|\nWinMTR v0.92 GPL V2 by Appnor MSP - Fully Managed Hosting & Cloud Provider\n```\n\nInclude the full output when submitting your ticket so the support team can trace every hop.",{"id":131,"article_path":132,"date_created":133,"date_updated":85,"author_name":86,"featured_image":85,"category":134,"subcategory":85,"translations":137},508,"automatic-restarts","2026-06-09T12:59:49.000Z",{"id":88,"kind":89,"slug":90,"game":85,"translations":135},[136],{"languages_code":93,"name":94,"description":95},[138],{"languages_code":93,"title":139,"title_short":140,"description":141,"content_md":142},"How to Set Up Automatic Restarts for Your Server","Automatic Restarts","Learn how to configure scheduled automatic restarts for your game server using the Host Havoc Game Control Panel's Scheduled Tasks feature.","Scheduling automatic restarts keeps your server stable and lets you apply updates on a regular cycle without manual intervention.
