Common Questions

How do I change the game mode?

Use the g_gametype command followed by the mode code:

/rcon g_gametype sd
/rcon map_restart

See Available Game Modes for all codes.

How do I enable friendly fire?

Use the friendly fire cvar:

/rcon scr_friendlyfire 1

Set to 0 to disable friendly fire.

Why must I keep the advert in hostname?

Free servers require the "free @ fshost.me" advert as part of the hostname. This is a requirement for using our free hosting service.

How do I add custom maps?

Contact FSHOST support via Discord with your custom map requests and download links.

What is Strategy mode?

Strategy mode (strat) is designed for practice and training. It typically has relaxed settings to help teams practice tactics and strategies.
