Why can’t I see my Avorion server in the server list?

Check whether the server is running (logs\server.log), whether the ports are open in the Windows Firewall and your VPS’s Network Firewall, and whether a filter is active in the server browser.

Introduction

Not sure how to connect to your Avorion server on your VPS or what you need to do it? No worries—we’ll show you step by step what information you need and how to connect. We’ll also share some tips in case it doesn’t work right away.

Find your server details

You’ll need your server’s address to connect:

IP address: your VPS’s IP address. You can find it in the Overview of your VPS in the ZapX dashboard.
Port: 27000 by default, unless you selected a different Game Port under Advanced settings during installation.
Server name: the name you chose during installation.

If you set up the server using the Game Server Installer, it will display the full address after installation under How to connect next to Connect with.

Connect to the server

There are often several ways to connect to a game server. The available methods are explained in detail below.

To connect using the in-game server browser, open the server browser from the main menu. Click Multiplayer, then Browse Servers. You can find your server in the list by its name using the search field, then connect by clicking the Join button.

Instead of searching for the server in the list, you can connect directly using its IP address and port. Click Multiplayer, then Connect via IP. A window will open where you can enter your server details in the IP/Port field. You’ll also need to enter a name for the server. Then click Add Server to save the server and connect.

Possible issues and solutions

Server is not visible or reachable

Server is not running: Use Remote Desktop to check whether the server is running. If needed, start it using the Avorion (avorion) - Start shortcut. You can find error details in C:\ZapX-GameServers\avorion\logs\server.log.
Ports are closed: The ports must be open in the Windows Firewall and your VPS’s Network Firewall. See Avorion: Set up a server on your VPS for information about the ports Avorion requires.
Incorrect filters: Check whether a filter in the server browser is hiding your server. Connecting directly using the IP address and port works regardless of these filters.
