### How it works

||||
You have one game server installation, but you have multiple instances start in the same installation using different config files.
|
||||
You have one game server installation, but you have multiple instances start in the same installation using different config files. 
|
||||
|
||||
Every time a new instance is created, new default config files are created. This allows each instance to have different hostname, ports etc. The config files are by default the same name as the instance script. For example, if the script is `./gameserver-2` the config is `gameserver-2.cfg`. You can see the location of config files in `./gameserver-2 details` \(replace "instance" with your actual instance name\).

You can see the location of config files in `./gameserver-2 details` (replace "instance" with your actual instance name).
|
||||
|
||||
Each instance is managed using its own script which gives the config file names. These can be renamed how you like, however, the default will simply have an incremental number. Some admins may choose to name them after the server port, the map or the gamemode instead.

### Installing game servers with the same script name under the same user
|
||||
|
||||
Installing multiple installations using the same user does work. However you must use unique script names i.e. `./gameserver`. This is because tmux requires unique session name to start a session. Tmux will fail to start if another server is using the same session name. LinuxGSM uses the script name as the tmux session name.

There are instances when a game server might not appear in the server list due to several common reasons:

* Server Loading Time: Please be patient while the server loads, as it may take some time before it becomes visible. Depending on the game server type, certain servers require additional time for tasks like map seeding or loading mods.
