How to Configure Player Voting on Your Insurgency: Sandstorm Server ​

Player voting lets your server self-moderate: players can kick problematic players by vote — ideal if you don't want to use fixed admins.

1. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard.

2. Connect via SFTP
   Connect to your server via SFTP.

3. Open Game.ini
   The Game.ini file is located in the Insurgency/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/ directory. Open it.

4. Enable voting
   Add the following section:

   ini

   [/Script/Insurgency.TeamInfo]
   bVotingEnabled=True
   TeamVoteIssues=/Script/Insurgency.VoteIssueKick

   [/Script/Insurgency.TeamInfo]
   bVotingEnabled=True
   TeamVoteIssues=/Script/Insurgency.VoteIssueKick

5. Adjust vote kick (optional)
   For detailed settings, add the following section:

   ini

   [/Script/Insurgency.VoteIssueKick]
   MinimumPlayersRequired=3
   bRequiresMinimumToStart=True
   MinimumPlayerRatio=0.25
   VotePassRatio=0.75
   MinimumYesNoDifference=2
   VoteTimeout=90
   bCanTargetEnemies=false
   IdleVoteBanDuration=-1
   DefaultVoteBanDuration=120

   [/Script/Insurgency.VoteIssueKick]
   MinimumPlayersRequired=3
   bRequiresMinimumToStart=True
   MinimumPlayerRatio=0.25
   VotePassRatio=0.75
   MinimumYesNoDifference=2
   VoteTimeout=90
   bCanTargetEnemies=false
   IdleVoteBanDuration=-1
   DefaultVoteBanDuration=120

   Setting	Default	Description
   MinimumPlayersRequired	3	Number of players needed to start a vote
   bRequiresMinimumToStart	True	Whether the minimum number is required before a vote begins

   MinimumYesNoDifference	2	Lead of "yes" over "no" votes required to pass
   VoteTimeout	90	Time in seconds before a vote can be called again
   bCanTargetEnemies	false	Whether enemy players can be targeted by a vote
   IdleVoteBanDuration	-1	Ban duration when voting against idle players. -1 = kick only
