How to Join Your Operation Harsh Doorstop Server

Join an Operation Harsh Doorstop server

You can either find your server in the in-game server browser or add it to Steam as a favorite. For the entry in Steam you usually need the Query Port and not the Game Port.

Find connection details

Via the in-game server browser

This is the easiest way: you need neither the IP address nor a port.

  1. Start Operation Harsh Doorstop
    Launch the game and wait for the main menu to load.

  2. Open Multiplayer
    Select the Multiplayer tab in the main menu.

  3. Search for your server
    Look for your server name in the server list. Use the search function or the filter of the list.

  4. Join the server
    Select your server and confirm to join.

Via Steam favorites

If your server does not show up in the server browser, add it directly in Steam.

  1. Open Steam
    Open the Steam client.

  2. Open the server browser
    Click on View in the top left and select Game Servers.

  3. Add the server
    Switch to the Favorites tab and click + or Add Server at the bottom right.

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

    <IP address>:<Query Port>
    
  5. Refresh the list
    Click Refresh so Steam queries the server. If the server responds, you see its name, map and player count.

  6. Join
    Connect straight from Steam or start the game and select the server in the favorites section.
