How to Join Your Eco Server

Eco does not have a classic direct connect field in the main menu. Instead you add your server in the server browser using the plus button – or you look for it in the public server list. To connect you always use the Game Port of your server.

Add the server via IP

Adding the server by IP address is the most reliable way onto your server. Once added, it stays in your list permanently.

1. Start Eco
   Launch Eco on your PC and sign in with your account.

2. Open the server browser
   Select New Game in the main menu. You end up in the Your Worlds overview showing the servers you have already visited.

3. Add the server
   Click the green plus button.

4. Enter the server address
   Enter the IP address and the Game Port of your server, separated by a colon:

   <IP address>:<Game Port>
   

5. Join
   Confirm your input and click Join.

6. Create your character
   The first time you join you create your character and choose your starting point in the world. Your progress is stored on the server from then on.

Via the public server list

1. Open New Game
   Select New Game in the main menu.

2. Show all servers
   Click Browse All in the top right corner to open the public server list.

3. Search for your server
   Click the magnifier icon and enter the name of your server.

4. Join
   Select your server and click Join.
