Scheduled restarts: your players get a heads-up
Published on Sept. 28, 2026

No more players caught off guard by a restart mid-game. When a scheduled automatic restart is coming up, the server now warns connected players directly in the in-game chat.


A message appears 5 minutes before the restart, then at 4, 3, 2 and 1 minute: enough time to finish a fight, head back to base or put your things somewhere safe. The message is in French and English (on Eco, it follows the language chosen for your server).


Nothing to switch on: the warning works as soon as a scheduled restart is set up on Counter-Strike 2, Palworld or Eco. Other games still restart normally, without a message.
