Use the following feature to prevent updates from overwriting custom settings in the mpmissions directory, such as types and loot configuration.

Important: When protection is active, the entire mpmissions directory is excluded from updates. Changes to maps or mission files released by the game developers will therefore not be applied automatically.

  1. Log in to the server management panel.
  2. Click More next to the Start and Stop buttons.
  3. Click Protect mpmissions folder.
  4. Select when protection should be used:
    • Manual Steam Update — when you click the Steam Update button manually.
    • Automatic Steam Update — when scheduled automatic updates run.
  5. Click Execute.

For a manual Steam Update, the task window shows whether directory protection is active and whether the protected content was restored after the update.
