What's new at Wespner

New features, game servers, updates and announcements.

SMS Notifications

You can now get updates by SMS too. Just add your phone number to your profile and we'll text you about anything important - whether you're mid-game or away from your computer.

How to turn it on

Log in to the dashboard, open your profile, and enter your phone number. You can do it right when signing up, or anytime later in your account settings.

What we'll text you about

  • Ticket reply - the moment we get back to you
  • New invoice - as soon as it's issued, so nothing slips by
  • Paid invoice - confirmation your payment came through
  • Overdue invoice - a reminder so your service doesn't lapse

What's coming

In the future we'll also use your phone number for service outage alerts - so you know about downtime before your players do.

Adding your phone number is entirely optional. You can change or remove it in your profile at any time.

Control Your Game Servers with AI

The first version of our MCP servers is out. You can now control the Game panel using natural language directly from your AI client - just type what you need.

Two variants

  • Claude Desktop extension - installs in a few clicks, the ideal starting point
  • Generic MCP server - works in any MCP client (Cursor, Claude Code, and others)

What the MCP servers can do

  • Server management - start, stop, restart, and send commands to the console
  • Files and backups - browse, edit, and upload files, create and restore backups
  • Player overview - player counts across all your servers
  • And much more - databases, scheduled tasks, allocations, version installs

Download

Log in to the dashboard and download the variant that suits you in the Downloads section. Everything you need is included in the ZIP file.

The connector is coming

We are taking it further - we are working on a full-fledged connector that will make the whole setup much simpler.

  • No installation - you won't download or install any software
  • Just a URL and your account - simply enter the connector URL and sign in with your Game panel account
  • Works in the browser - usable directly in the web interfaces of major AI providers, not just desktop clients

What this means for the current MCP servers

The Claude Desktop extension and the generic MCP server continue to work for now. Once the connector launches, we will stop maintaining them and strongly recommend switching to the connector. We will keep you informed about the launch.

And that's not all - we will soon be adding AI directly into the Game panel. The feature will be fully optional.

Workshop Installer for Conan Exiles

You can now install mods from the Steam Workshop on your Conan Exiles server directly from the Game panel.

What the installer can do

  • Search Steam Workshop mods directly in the Game panel
  • Install via mod URL or ID, or with one click from the mod list
  • Update all mods with a single click - downloads the latest versions of all subscribed mods

Ideal for modded RP servers, custom builds, or anything where you don't want to manage the Workshop manually.

Conan Exiles Servers Are Now Available

We have added Conan Exiles to our game server lineup - a survival game set in the world of Conan the Barbarian.

What to look forward to

  • Brutal survival in the harsh world of the Hyborian Age
  • Exiled Lands and Isle of Siptah with full support for the Enhanced update (UE5)
  • Fortress building, commanding thralls, and PvP clan warfare

Security Notice: Copy Fail Vulnerability (CVE-2026-31431)

Dear customers,

In response to the recently disclosed Linux kernel vulnerability Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431), we have taken all necessary measures across all of our game nodes. Your game services are fully secured and no compromise has been detected.

At the same time, we have introduced automatic kernel patching, which allows us to:

  • deploy security updates without any downtime for your services,
  • respond to similar vulnerabilities within hours instead of days.

Information for VPS customers

The Copy Fail vulnerability also affects the operating systems running inside your VPS, which are managed by you. We recommend installing your distribution's security updates as soon as possible and rebooting your server.

For game services, no action is required on your part. If you have any questions, our support team is here for you — feel free to open a ticket.

Security Notice: Dirty Frag Vulnerability (CVE-2026-43284)

Dear customers,

Following up on our previous announcement regarding the Copy Fail vulnerability: on May 7, 2026, a related Linux kernel vulnerability named Dirty Frag (CVE-2026-43284 and CVE-2026-43500) was disclosed, stemming from a similar family of flaws.

We applied the official mitigation recommended by the kernel maintainers immediately after disclosure. The final fix was subsequently deployed across our entire infrastructure through automatic kernel patching - with no downtime for your services.

Information for VPS customers

The Dirty Frag vulnerability also affects the operating systems running inside your VPS, which are managed by you. We recommend installing your distribution's security updates as soon as possible and rebooting your server.

For game services, no action is required on your part. If you have any questions, our support team is here for you - feel free to open a ticket.

The Game Panel Is Now Significantly Faster

Dear customers,

Over the past few days, we have been working intensively on tuning the performance of the Game panel. Some of you experienced 500 errors and slower response times - these issues have now been resolved and the panel runs noticeably smoother.

If you still run into anything, please let us know via support or on our Discord.

Thank you for your patience.

A New Look for the Game Panel

We have completely redesigned the Game panel - it is calmer, faster, and easier to read. A new dark look, unified typography, and a single yellow accent.

What's new

  • File manager with three modes - list, grid, and an IDE for editing directly in your browser
  • Activity search - filter events and users via a dropdown
  • Statistics now track player counts over time for supported games (Minecraft, Rust, and more)

What's next

This change gives us more room to customize the panel further - based on our plans as well as customer feedback. Bigger improvements are on the way, and we will keep you informed in future announcements.

If anything is not working as expected, please contact our support.

Ending Our Collaboration with the External Marketing Team

Dear customers,

We have decided to end our collaboration with our external marketing team. We want to stay true to the original idea Wespner started with: quality at an affordable price.

In practice, this means that the money that would otherwise go into marketing will allow us to lower the prices of our services. The quality of our services and support remains unchanged - that is not changing and never will.

Thank you for the trust you place in us and for supporting us on this journey.

Project Zomboid Servers Are Now Available

We have added Project Zomboid to our game server lineup - a popular survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world.

What to look forward to

  • Hardcore survival in a zombie apocalypse
  • Multiplayer with friends or a larger community
  • Extensive modding and custom scenarios
  • Base building and long-term survival

What you get with us

A server running on stable infrastructure with DDoS protection, full management through the Game panel, and a support team that handles the technical side for you.

New Feature - Control Your Server Directly via Discord

We've connected the Game panel with Discord. You can now manage your server without opening the panel in your browser.
