🔗 Multi-Machine Management v1.1.0
Connect multiple WGS instances across your network. Monitor and control slave machines from a single master panel.

Scheduled, compressed world-save backups with configurable retention. Your data is safe before every major update.

Automatic Windows Firewall management. Credentials and tokens stored with Windows DPAPI encryption — never plain text.
📁 File Browser
Browse, edit, upload, and manage server configuration files directly in WGS — no need to navigate Windows Explorer manually.
⧉ Server Cloning v1.2.0
Duplicate any server with all its settings in one click. WGS automatically assigns new ports so both servers can run side by side.
💤 Wake-on-Demand v1.2.0
Server stays off until a player tries to connect. WGS detects the incoming TCP connection and boots the server automatically — no manual intervention needed.
😴 Shut Down When Empty v1.2.3
WGS monitors the player count while the server runs and shuts it down automatically after a configurable idle timeout. Pair with Wake-on-Demand for a full on-demand lifecycle.
📧 Email Notifications v1.2.0
Receive start, stop, crash and update alerts by email via any SMTP provider — alongside or instead of Discord webhooks.
🧠 RAM Limiting v1.2.0
Cap per-server memory usage using Windows Job Objects. Prevent a single runaway server from taking down your whole machine.
📈 Extended Performance History v1.2.0
CPU and RAM history charts now store up to 1 hour of data with a selectable time range (5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes).
🔔 Per-Server Discord Webhooks v1.2.3
Each server can have its own Discord webhook URL for alerts. Falls back to the global webhook if not set — perfect for routing different servers to different channels.
📂 Web Backup Restore v1.2.3
List and restore backups directly from the web dashboard. Click the Backups button on any server card to see available backups and restore with one click.
🗂️ Selective Backup Paths v1.2.3

🎮 Palworld REST API v1.2.5
Player list fetched via Palworld's official REST API — more stable, handles international names and returns clean JSON. No RCON needed.
🌐 Stable Web Dashboard v1.2.5
Server cards no longer rebuild every 5 seconds. Backups list and Console Log stay open during auto-refresh.
📢 Restart Warnings v1.2.5
Daily, scheduled and auto-update restarts now warn connected players a few minutes ahead — works out of the box for Rust, Source-engine games, Minecraft, ARK, Palworld, DayZ and 7 Days to Die.
🔔 Player Join/Leave Alerts v1.2.5
Optional Discord notifications whenever a player connects or disconnects, with the live player count included.
📈 Live CPU Graph in Web Dashboard v1.2.5
Sortable server grid plus a live mini CPU graph on each running server's card — right in the browser.
🗑️ Smarter Backup Cleanup v1.2.5
Delete backups by age as well as count, and a "Clean up now" button to apply the limits instantly with a clear preview before anything is deleted.
💤 Fixed: Wake-on-Demand v1.2.5
It was listening for TCP connections, but almost every game's traffic is UDP — so it never actually woke the server up. Fixed.
🔗 Group Ban-List Sync v1.2.5
Ban a player on one server and it's automatically applied to every other running server in the same group — and replayed on ones that were offline.
📋 Shareable Status Page v1.2.5
A read-only link per server with live player count and uptime — no login, safe to post in Discord or on a website.
🗑️ Incremental Backups v1.2.5
Only changed files get backed up after the first full backup — much faster and smaller for large worlds.
📜 Log-Based Crash Detection v1.2.5
Crash prediction now also scans console output for known crash-precursor text, not just CPU/RAM patterns.
⚡ Quick Commands v1.2.5
Save frequently-used console commands as one-click buttons — no more retyping the same RCON command every time.
📝 Config Version History v1.2.5
Every config save is snapshotted automatically. Broke something? Restore any earlier version with one click.
🧹 Server Hygiene v1.2.5
Scans a stopped server for leftover logs, crash reports and stray temp files, with a clear preview before deleting anything.
📈 Activity Heatmap & Top Players v1.2.5
See when your server is busiest by hour of day, and who your most active players have been over the last 30 days.
🛌 Scheduled Backups Skip Idle Servers v1.2.5
If a server hasn't run in the last 24 hours, a scheduled backup is skipped instead of zipping an unchanged, duplicate copy.
🛡️ Safer Self-Update v1.2.5
Reworked the in-app updater to avoid a self-deleting-script pattern that some antivirus engines flagged as suspicious.
