How many players can join my ASKA server?

A maximum of 4 players can play at a time. This is a game limit that also applies to dedicated servers.

What should I do if my server doesn't appear in the list?

Check the Console to confirm the server has fully started and look for a token warning. The token must be created for App ID 1898300. Also set a specific region that matches your group, then restart the server.

Introduction

Want to build your Viking settlement with your friends on your own ASKA game server, but aren't sure how to join? No worries—we've got you covered! We'll show you what you need and how to find and join your server in the game.

Requirements

A few things need to be in place before you can connect:

You and your friends need ASKA on Steam. The game and server should both be up to date.
Your server needs a valid Steam server token, created for App ID 1898300. For instructions, see our guide Create a server token (GSLT).
Your server must be fully started. In the Console, you can check whether it has logged in to Steam and opened its session.

Info

ASKA supports a maximum of 4 players in a world at a time. You can't add more players, even on a dedicated server.

Find your server in the game

ASKA servers do not appear in the Steam server browser, and you can't join them using an IP address. Instead, your server opens a session that you can find in the in-game session list:

Launch ASKA and select Multiplayer, then Join from the main menu.
Set the Region in the bottom-right corner to match your server's region. If the regions don't match, your server won't appear in the list. See “Choose the right region” below for details.
Search for your server by its server name. You can set the name in ZapX under the Configuration tab, in Startup parameters, in the Server name field. The default name is ZapX ASKA Server.
Select your server and click Join. If you've set a server password, the game will prompt you to enter it.

Tip

After starting or restarting, your server needs a moment to log in and open its session. If you don't see it right away, refresh the list after a short while.

Choose the right region

Your server opens its session in a specific region, and the in-game server list only shows servers in the region selected in the bottom-right corner. The Region field is set to default by default, which lets the server choose the region with the best ping. To make sure you know which region to select in the game, it's best to set a specific region, such as europe, and restart the server. Then select the same region in the game.

When the world is created

If Keep world running is set to false (the default), your server loads the world when the first player joins and unloads it when the last player leaves. On a new server, the world is therefore created the first time someone joins. This is normal and not an error.

Common issues and solutions

Server doesn't appear in the list

First, check the Console to confirm that your server has fully started and to see whether there's a warning about a missing token. In most cases, the Steam server token is missing or was created for the wrong App ID. The token must be created for App ID 1898300 (the ASKA game), not 3246670 (the dedicated server tool). Also set a specific region, as described above.

Password isn't accepted

Set the password in the Server password field. If you've changed it, restart your server to apply the change. Passwords are case-sensitive.

Server is full

ASKA supports a maximum of 4 players in a world at a time. If there are already 4 players on your server, no one else can join. This is a game limit and can't be increased with more server resources.
