Connecting to a Valheim Gameserver

Here you will learn how to activate the Crossplay option on your Valheim Gameserver.

In-game Direct Connect

• Launch the game.
• Select your character and click Start.

• Select the tab Join Game and then click on the option Join IP.

• Type in the IP and Port of the server as it shows in your Nitrado web interface.

Note: The IP and Port need to be exactly the same as on your Web interface. If you join in-game, use the Game Port; if you join the server via Steam, use the Query Port (needed on the Steam favorites list).

IF THE INCORRECT PORT IS TYPED, THE SERVER WILL NOT RESPOND.

Note: If the server is password-protected, you will be prompted to enter the password.

Step by Step

• Open Steam.
• On the top bar, select View, scroll down, and select Servers. This will open a new window.

• Change the tab to the Favorites option.
• On the bottom right corner, select “Add server”. A window will open, requesting an IP.

• Enter your server IP address and replace the port number with the one displayed in the dashboard on your Nitrado web interface. The IP address will be the same, but with +1 for the query port. For example: 85.190.156.150:13000 (Game Port) and the query port is 13001. The IP address to type would be: 85.190.156.150:13001.

NOTE: IF THE INCORRECT PORT IS TYPED, THE SERVER WILL APPEAR AS NOT RESPONDING.

• Click Find games at this address and you will see your server.
• Select “Add this address to favorites”.
• If you attempt to connect right away and receive an error message, close the window and select Refresh in the bottom right corner.

• Select your server from the list and click Connect.

Server Password

Your server is protected by a password to limit access to selected players. You need to share the password with them, which can be found in the general settings of your Nitrado web interface.

Note: Please do not delete the password from your server settings. This is a necessary setting for the server to work properly. The password must be different from the server name.

Enjoy your Valheim journey and manage your server with ease using these simple steps!
