How to Restrict Crossplay on Your RuneScape: Dragonwilds Server

Since the 1.0 update, your server is automatically a crossplay server. Players on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 can join together without you having to configure anything in the dashboard. If you want to limit your server to a single platform, you can optionally do so via SFTP in the configuration file.

Note

There is no crossplay field in the settings of the dashboard. The restriction is done exclusively via the DedicatedServer.ini file. If only a specific group of players should be able to join, you can additionally set a server password.

Possible values

The PlatformPolicy setting defines which platform is allowed to join your server:

Value	Meaning
Crossplay	All platforms can join (default)
PC	Only PC players can join
PlayStation	Only PlayStation players can join
Xbox	Only Xbox players can join
Nintendo	Only Nintendo Switch players can join

Restrict crossplay

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

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

3. Open configuration file
   Open the following file:

   /RSDragonwilds/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/DedicatedServer.ini

4. Enter PlatformPolicy
   Under the [/Script/Dominion.DedicatedServerSettings] section, add the line PlatformPolicy= with the desired value from the table. If the line already exists, only change the value.

   Example

   [/Script/Dominion.DedicatedServerSettings]
   PlatformPolicy=PC

   Warning

   Use exactly the spelling from the table. With an invalid value, the server will not start and the log shows the message The [PlatformPolicy] value [...] is invalid. Valid values: ... with the valid values. In this case, correct the value and restart the server.

5. Start the server
   Save the file and start your server.

Note

On startup, the dashboard only writes the values from the settings (Owner ID, names and passwords) to the file. Your PlatformPolicy line is kept.

Verify the setting

You can check whether the setting has been applied in the log of your server at /RSDragonwilds/Saved/Logs/RSDragonwilds.log:

• Session crossplay set to [...] – shows the active crossplay setting of your server
• PlatformPolicy not set - defaulting to Crossplay – no value is set, all platforms can join

Re-open crossplay for everyone

Set the value back to PlatformPolicy=Crossplay or remove the line from the file and restart your server.

Troubleshooting

If a player is rejected from your crossplay server with a crossplay error message, they have disabled crossplay in the settings of the game and need to enable it there again. In this case, the log of your server shows PreLogin rejected crossplay-disabled client from a crossplay server.
