How ServerSettings.ini syntax works

Sectioned INI with True and False for booleans. The server reads it at startup and applies what it finds, which works exactly as you would expect — right up until it shuts down.

The mistake that costs people hours

Conan writes its current settings back to the file on shutdown. Editing the file while the server is running means your changes are replaced by the running server's own values the moment it stops. Always stop the server first, then edit, then start — the reverse order silently discards everything you wrote.
