How to Set Up a OpenRCT2 Server

OpenRCT2··2 min read

OpenRCT2 is the open-source engine for RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, adding multiplayer park-building. A dedicated server lets your group design and run a theme park together. This step-by-step guide shows you how to set up a OpenRCT2 server in minutes — no manual install, no command line.

What you need

  • A OpenRCT2 plan with around 512 MB–2 GB of RAM — OpenRCT2 is a Light-class game.
  • Support for OpenRCT2 server with config, included on every GGameHost OpenRCT2 plan.
  • Your friends or community to play with (up to 16+ slots).

Step 1 — Choose your plan

Pick a plan sized for your OpenRCT2 community. We recommend about 512 MB–2 GB of RAM; start smaller and upgrade in one click as you add players or mods. OpenRCT2 plans start at $3.99/mo.

Step 2 — Deploy your server

Check out and your OpenRCT2 server provisions automatically in under 60 seconds, with console access right away — no manual install, no command line.

Step 3 — Connect & invite players

Once your OpenRCT2 server is online, share its address (IP and port) with your friends so they can join. Start, stop and restart it anytime from the control panel.

Step 4 — Install mods & configure

Your OpenRCT2 server supports Open-source, Multiplayer, Config, FTP/SFTP. Install OpenRCT2 server with config straight from the one-click installer, or upload your own from the control panel — then tweak settings in the visual config editor.

Step 5 — Keep it running smoothly

Enable scheduled automatic backups, set restart timers, and monitor CPU, RAM and player counts from the dashboard. Always-on DDoS protection and 24/7 support keep your OpenRCT2 server stable.
