  2. Navigate to the Prospects folder
    Open your SteamID64 folder and navigate into the Prospects folder.

  3. Identify the prospect file

Upload and apply the savegame ​

    Connect to your server via SFTP.

  3. Upload the prospect
    Upload the <YourProspect>.json file to the following directory:

  4. Adjust ServerSettings.ini
    Open the following file:

Warning

Make sure the version of your savegame matches the server version. Saves from older versions may cause errors or incompatible data.
