Introduction

Are you unsure how to connect to your Subnautica 2 game server or what information you need? This guide shows you how to obtain the necessary server details, establish the connection, and resolve common connection problems.

Info

Early Access Notice Depending on the current release status, Subnautica 2 may still be in active development. As a result, multiplayer features, server browser behavior, and connection processes may change over time.

Obtaining Server Details

You need all relevant information to connect to your server. You can find these details in your game server dashboard on the web interface. Important information includes:

  • IP address and port
  • Server name
  • Server password

With this information, you can identify your server and ensure you connect to the correct one.

DetailDescription
IP addressThe public address of your Subnautica 2 server
PortThe game port used for the connection
Server nameThe name displayed in-game if a server list or session browser is available
Server passwordRequired only if your server is password protected

Possible Issues and Solutions

Connecting to a game server can be affected by various factors. Here are the most common problems and their solutions.

Not Visible

If the server is not visible, initialization may not have completed successfully. This can be due to incorrect configuration or corrupted files. More information is usually available in the server console or log files.

Warning

Server Must Be Started Do not attempt to connect before the server has finished starting. If the server is still loading or restarting, players cannot connect and the server may not appear in any list.

Incorrect Connection Details

If you cannot connect, verify that you are using the correct IP address, port, and server password. Even a small typo can prevent connection.

CheckWhat to Verify
IP addressMatches the address in the server dashboard
PortMatches the assigned game port
PasswordEntered exactly as configured, including case sensitivity
Server nameMatches the configured server name if searching in the browser

Server Is Online but Connection Fails

If the server shows as online but you still cannot connect, check the server console and logs in the web interface. Errors there often indicate if the server failed to load properly or if configuration issues are blocking player connections.

Tip

Check Logs First The server console and log files are usually the quickest way to find out why a connection fails. They help confirm whether the server is listening correctly and if connection attempts are reaching it.
