The first step is to retrieve the files for the game, this is done via SteamCMD.

Follow the guide here on how to use STEAMCMD.

Once you have STEAMCMD, run the following command:

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir C:\SteamCMD\brainbread2server +app_update 475370 validate +exit

Note: You can adjust the +force_install_dir paramter to the directory you want to download the server to.

This will then download the entire game, Once completed, it's time to setup the server configuration.


Inside the content you just downloaded, proceed to: brainbread2server\brainbread2\cfg

Inside this folder there is a file called "server.cfg" - Go ahead and edit this file in a text editor such as notepad.

In this file you will be able to edit the settings such as the server name.

e.g. The following line:

hostname "My BrainBread 2 server" Will set your server to be called "My BrainBread 2 server"

The best method for a self-hosted solution is to create a simple .batch file,

Inside brainbread2server\ folder where srcds.exe is located, create a batch file with the following content:

start srcds.exe -console -game brainbread2 +map bbc_factory +maxplayers 12

This will then start the server up with the following map: bbc_factory and 12 maxplayers.

Please note some port-forwarding may be required, by default the server will use port 27015, you should unblock this port in your firewall\router.

If setting up your own server is too much work for you, then please consider renting a server from Citadel Servers[www.citadelservers.com] - They setup everything for you
