How to Change the Version of Your Project Zomboid Server

If you don’t want to play Project Zomboid on the latest public version and would rather play a different beta branch to play older versions, here’s how to change the version of your Project Zomboid server.

When changing server versions, you must also change your Project Zomboid game version to match the version of your server.

Danger

To ensure a fresh installation, we recommend deleting ALL files and folders in File Manager prior to switching versions.

Features from experimental versions are not expected to be supported on shared hosting as this is only a testing ground for the game developers. We officially only support the main, public branch of the game.

Changing Steam Beta Version

1. Access the Game Host Bros Panel and Stop your server.
2. In the sidebar, go to Startup Parameters.
3. Edit Steam Beta Branch with the branch name you want to use (A list of branch names are below).
4. Go to Configuration > Server Actions.
5. Click Reinstall Server and wait for the install to finish.

Here are the currently available beta branches to choose from. They can be found here:
