How to Join Your Mordhau Server

You either find your server through the in-game server browser or connect directly through Steam using your server's address.

Find connection details

Via the in-game server browser

1. Start Mordhau
   Launch the game and wait for the main menu to load.

2. Open the server browser
   Select Fight in the main menu. This takes you to the server browser with the list of all public servers.

3. Search for your server
   Enter the name of your server into the search field. This is much faster than scrolling through the full list.

4. Join the server
   Select your server from the list and join it.

Connect through Steam

If you want to join using your server's address specifically, use a Steam connection link.

1. Start Steam
   Make sure Steam is running on your PC and that you are signed in.

2. Build the connection link
   Assemble the link from the IP address and the Query Port of your server:

   steam://connect/<IP address>:<Query Port>
   

3. Open the link
   Enter the link into your browser's address bar, or open it on Windows with Win + R. Steam launches Mordhau and connects you to your server.
