After startup, the server needs a few minutes to load the world. Also check logs\server.log to confirm it’s running and make sure port 7777 (UDP) is open in the Windows Firewall and your VPS’s Network Firewall.

Motor Town: Behind The Wheel: Connect to the Server

Get your server details

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

IP address: the IP address of your VPS. 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 display the full address after installation under How to connect next to Connect to.

Connect to the server

Start the game and open the server list (Multiplayer or Join) from the main menu. Find your server by its name using the search field. Click Connect to join. If you set a join password, the game will ask you to enter it.

Info

It may take a few minutes after startup for the server to appear in the list, because it needs to load the world first.

Possible issues and solutions

Server isn’t visible or reachable

Ports aren’t open: The ports must be open in the Windows Firewall and in your VPS’s Network Firewall. See Motor Town: Behind The Wheel: Set up a server on your VPS for the ports required by Motor Town.
