Connect using the Server List
First we open Valheim and click on Start Game, if you do not have a Character yet, one has to be created now, then we will click on Start
Here we do not want to create a new World, so we press "Cancel"
Now we can click on Join Game at the top of the Menu and Enter our Servername in the "Filter" Section, we will also set a Checkmark at "Community"
If you do not see your Server yet, make sure to wait a bit, depending on the amount of Servers, a refresh can take a few Minutes.
Now we should already see our Server in the List, we can now click on it and then click on Connect, once we have connected we now just need to enter the Server Password we gave it in the Settings and press Enter!
Done! You can now play the game on your very own Valheim Server!
