Atlas Dedicated Server Setup Guide - Part 2: Requirements

Requirements to Run an Atlas Dedicated Server

Atlas on Windows has a few prerequisite requirements before you can run the Atlas Server. It needs DirectX, REDIS, and SteamCMD.

This is an exe that you download, run, and install. No guide necessary. Just install it.

Download RDIS
Run the installer
Accept the default settings or customize
If you change the port, write the new port down and update as appropriate when configuration the database within the Map Setup Section of this guide.
Once installed, a redis service will be running; stop the service
Start −> Run −> Services.msc
Find REDIS, Right Click −> STOP
Update the REDIS Config File
<install location>\redis.windows-service.conf
Update Password
Find and Replace (remove the # and change the password):
FIND:#requirepass foobared
REPLACE:requirepass yourpassword
Update Max Memory
Find and Replace:
FIND:#maxmemory <bytes>
REPLACE:maxmemory 2gb
Update the 2gb to a number that makes sense for your server setup, my redis w/ 9 maps uses about 30mb
If you are running all atlas instances on a single computer, then go to the next step
For multiple computers or VMs we need to listen on the servers IP Address:
Find and Replace (add a # at the beginning of the line) to listen on ALL IP Addresses:
FIND:bind 127.0.0.1
REPLACE WITH:#bind 127.0.0.1
OR add another line if you want it to listen on a single IP address:
ADD (optional):bind <your.server.IP.here>
Save the file
Restart the REDIS Service
Start −> Run −> Services.msc
Find REDIS, Rick Click −> START

Make a directory for steamcmd, install it, and start the ATLAS downlaod
Download steamcmd.exe and run the file from the appropriate directory; I used "c:\program files\steamcmd" and I also used a custom ATLAS install directory.
From the steamcmd cli:
