How To Ban Players On Your VEIN Server

This guide covers how to remove players from your VEIN server. Two approaches are available: using the in-game admin interface (preferred) or manually editing configuration files for offline bans.

Using The Admin Menu

Recommended

You'll need admin access on your server.

1. Connect to your server with admin credentials.
2. Press \ to open the admin menu.
3. Select Players and identify the target player.
4. Click Ban on the selected player.

Manually Banning Players

This method works for offline players and requires the player's SteamID64.

Locating A SteamID

1. Access the GhostCap Panel and select your VEIN server.
2. Navigate to File Manager.
3. Go to Vein/Saved/Logs and open Vein.log.
4. Use CTRL + F to search for the player's name.
5. Locate the SteamID64 number following ID= in the log entry.

Banning The Player

1. Stop your VEIN server through the panel.
2. Access File Manager.
3. Navigate to /Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini.
4. Add or locate the section [/Script/Vein.VeinGameStateBase].
5. Add the player's SteamID64 to BannedPlayers= and optionally a reason to BannedReasons=. For multiple players, add a new BannedPlayers= and BannedReasons= pair on separate lines for each entry:

   [/Script/Vein.VeinGameStateBase]
   BannedPlayers=76543298106341634
   BannedReasons=Cheating
   BannedPlayers=45661198106341623
   BannedReasons=Griefing
   BannedPlayers=12361198106341612
   BannedReasons=Toxic behavior
   

6. Restart your server through Console.
