How to Join Your Romestead Server

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

Why is my server not in any list?

The connection fails

If you cannot get onto your server, work through the following points:

1. Is the server running?
   Check in the dashboard whether your server is started. Take a look at the console as well: you can only join once the server has fully loaded the world.

2. Are the IP and port correct?
   Compare both values with the dashboard again and make sure the IP address is in the IP field and the Game Port in the port field.

3. Is the password correct?
   Watch out for upper and lower case as well as spaces at the beginning or end.

4. Was the password just changed?
   After changing the server password you have to restart the server via the dashboard for the new password to apply.
