About Sandstorm Local, Server & Mod Manager

From mod.io

Match setup, mods, rules and live control for Insurgency: Sandstorm on Windows - offline or on your own dedicated server. Open source, non-commercial.

Windows 10/11 only. This is a launcher program, not a game mod: download the zip, extract it and run SandstormModLauncher.exe. It does not go in the game's mod folder.

Set up an Insurgency: Sandstorm match once (map, bots, rules, mutators, mods) and play it offline or host it on a dedicated server. No console typing.

  • All official maps and scenarios, mod maps, day or night, Hardcore Checkpoint
  • Bots, enemy counts and AI difficulty; 100+ rules per mode; all official and mod mutators
  • Official rulesets and playlists as presets; saved setups
  • Live control: restart rounds, change rules mid-match, any console command
  • Dedicated server: SteamCMD install, server types, map cycle, mods, RCON player control, join info, or your own .bat options
  • Dedicated-server-only mode for a PC without the game installed
  • Offline mode; German, French, Turkish and Chinese translations

Download
https://github.com/goranbalsic/insurgency-sandstorm-mod-launcher/releases/latest
No installer, no admin rights. It updates itself. Each release lists its SHA-256 and build provenance.

Server mods (game 1.20+): the dedicated server needs its own mod.io account. On the Server page, send it a security code, start the server once with it, then subscribe the server to your mods.

Open source for non-commercial use (PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0). Forks and pull requests welcome. Bugs: Settings > "Something went wrong?" or GitHub issues.
