Example (Windows): ``"C:\MyOpenRCTInstall\openrct2.exe" host "C:\MyServerSaves\MyServer.sv6" --port 11753 --headless --console --verbose --user-data-path "E:\MyServerConfig"``

Additional server information can be changed in the ``config.ini`` file. In Windows, by default, this is located under ``"%userprofile%/Documents/OpenRCT2/"``

Starting a server (Windows batch script)
----------------------------

The following batch file (``.bat``) is useful to those that want to host a multiplayer server and ensure that if the OpenRCT2 server crashes it can gracefully restart using the most recent autosave.

Depending on where your OpenRCT2 game is installed, and where your autosave directory is located, you may need to change the variables in lines 3-5 of the script.

To use:
1. Copy the full content of the script below
2. Paste into a blank Notepad
3. Edit the variables on lines 3-5 (as required)
4. Save the file somewhere easily assessible with the extension ``.bat`` (for example, on your desktop with the name ``Start OpenRCT2 Server.bat``)

Whenever you want to start your server, just run the ``.bat`` file that you saved on step 4.::
