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

Check that the server is running and has finished starting (the first startup takes a few minutes), that the port is open in the Windows Firewall and your VPS’s Network Firewall, and that no server browser filter is hiding it.

Introduction

Not sure how to connect to your Longvinter server on your VPS or what you need? No worries—we’ll walk you through the information you need and how to connect, step by step. 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: 7777 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 show you the full address after installation under How to connect next to Connect using.

Connect to the server

Open the server browser from the main menu and find your server in the list by its name.

Alternatively, connect directly: In the top-right corner of the server list, click Connect via IP and enter your server’s IP address and port. Press Enter to connect.

Troubleshooting

Server isn’t visible or reachable

Server isn’t running: Use Remote Desktop to check whether the server is running. If needed, start it using the Longvinter (longvinter) - Start shortcut. You can find error details in C:\ZapX-GameServers\longvinter\logs\server.log. The first startup takes a few minutes. The game log is located at server\Longvinter\Saved\Logs\Longvinter.log.
Ports aren’t open: The port must be open in the Windows Firewall and in your VPS’s Network Firewall. See Longvinter: Set up a server on your VPS to find out which port Longvinter requires.
Incorrect filters: Check whether a filter in the server browser is hiding your server. Direct connection using the IP address and port works regardless of filters.
