How to Join Your Nightingale Server

Join a Nightingale server

2 min read

Nightingale has no server browser. You always connect directly using the IP address and the Game Port of your server – both are entered into two separate fields in the game.

Find connection details

Join the server

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

  2. Select Play
    Click on Play in the main menu.

  3. Choose your character
    On the next screen, select the character you want to play with.

  4. Open Join a Game
    Then select Join a Game.

  5. Change the connection type
    Switch the Connection Type dropdown from Steam to IP/LAN. This is the only option that reaches a dedicated server.

  6. Enter the connection details
    Enter the IP address and the Game Port into the two fields – the IP address in the first field, the port in the second.

  7. Enter the password
    If a password is set for your server, enter it into the password field on the same screen. If none is set, leave the field empty.

  8. Connect
    Click on Play to establish the connection.

Why not via Steam?
