• When you navigate to the folder, create a shortcut to the MordhauServer.exe file.
• Then right click on this shortcut and go to its properties.
• Edit the target in the Target Location section. You must type “-log”at the end.
• This is what the target should look like:
  • C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Mordhau Dedicated Server\MordhauServer.exe”-log
• Finally, start the server before it generates configuration files for editing.
