Connecting to Your Combat Zone

Once your server is live, there are two primary methods to locate it within the game client. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth deployment.

Method 1: Search by Server Name

The most common way to find your community is through the integrated server browser.

  1. Enter the Multiplayer mode from the main menu.
  2. Open the filter settings by pressing the [X] key on your keyboard.
  3. In the name field at the top, type your server's unique name and confirm with [ENTER].
  4. Locate your server in the list on the left and select it.
  5. Pro Tip: Press [F] to add the server to your Favorites for instant access in the future.
  6. Press [ENTER] to initiate the connection.

Method 2: Direct Connection (IP/Port)

If your server doesn't appear in the global list or you prefer a manual approach, you can connect directly using your unique address.

  • Open the manual connection window by pressing the [V] key.
  • Enter your IP address and Port exactly as they appear in your server's web interface.
  • Confirm the details to join the session immediately.
