The following guide will show you how to join your server.
Note: We recommend connecting through Steam, the in-game browser won't show new servers straight away and can take time for new servers to appear.
In-Game Browser Server Listings:
Step 1:
(Optional) Check your server name that is set in the game control panel. ( This is viewed in the "Commandline Manager" Section
We recommend adding a special character like # at the start of your server name e.g. #MyServer to make it easier to filter/find your server in the in-game list.
Start your game, click the multiplayer tab
Search for your server e.g. #MyServer, server will take a while to appear, click the refresh button.
There are thousands of servers listed so this may take a few clicks to find the server in the list.
STEAM Server Listings:
Step 1:
Open up steam and click "View" then proceed to click "Servers".
Method 1: Via "Internet" Tab

Click "Change Filters"

Click "Add Server"
Copy and paste your server's IP and Query Port e.g.
