Introduction

Not sure how to connect to your Over The Top: WWI game server or what you need to do it? No worries—we’ve got you covered! We’ll show you step by step what information you need and how to join your server in the game.

Over The Top: WWI: Connect to the Server

Get your server details

You can find all the information you need to connect in your game server dashboard:

IP address and port: In Overview, you can copy the IP:port with one click. Use the exact port shown there. It may differ from the game’s default port.
Password (optional): If you’ve set a password in the Server Password field under Startup Parameters in the Configuration tab, you and your players will need it to join. If the field is empty, your server is open to everyone.

Your server must also be fully started. You can monitor the startup process in the Console tab.

Connect to the server

In the main menu, click Multiplayer and then Server Browser. You have two options there:

From the list: Enter your server’s name in the Search field at the top right and select your server. If you’ve set a server password, enter it in the Password field at the bottom. Then click Join at the bottom right.
Directly by address: Click Custom IP at the bottom. In the Custom IP:port window, enter the IP address and port from Overview in the format IP:Port, followed by your password below if needed, and click Join.

Tip

In the list, your server appears under the Server Name from the startup parameters. After starting or restarting, your server may take a short while to appear there.

Possible issues and solutions

Server not visible

If the server isn’t visible, it may still be starting, or initialization may not have completed successfully—for example, because of a configuration error. You can usually find more information in the Console tab. In the meantime, connect directly using Custom IP and the IP:port shown in Overview.

Password not accepted

Make sure you enter the password with the correct capitalization. Passwords can be up to 20 characters long. If you’ve changed the password, restart your server for the change to take effect.
