If you prefer to change the server name directly in the file rather than through our UI, click the Text Editor next to the Config Editor and make your adjustments there.

This ensures that any custom changes you’ve made, such as mods or custom scenarios, are preserved and won’t be overwritten by the Config Editor’s preset settings.
When you’re finished, click Save to ensure all adjustments are applied.
