How to Join Your No Love Lost Server ​
You find your No Love Lost server in the server list inside the game. It appears there under the server name configured in the dashboard. For it to show up in the list, the Game Port and the Query Port of your server have to be reachable.
Find connection details ​
Important
You can find the server name as well as the Game Port and the Query Port of your server in the dashboard. Make a note of the server name in particular — it is how you find your server in the game.
Both ports are assigned automatically when your server is created and always differ from each other:
| Port | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Game Port | The actual connection to the server runs through this port. |
| Query Port | Your server answers server queries through this port so it appears in the in-game list. |
Note
You do not have to open any ports manually. Both ports are already set up and open on your server.

Tip
Pick a server name that is as distinctive as possible. A very generic name makes it unnecessarily hard to tell your server apart from the others in the list.
Your server does not appear in the list ​
Caution
If your server does not show up in the server list, work through these points one by one:
- Is the server really online? Check in the dashboard whether the server is running and not currently restarting or installing an update.
- Give it a moment after starting. Right after the start it takes a short while until the server appears in the list.
- Check the spelling of the name. Search for exactly the name shown in the dashboard, ideally only for a distinctive part of it.
- Refresh the list. Leave the server list in the game and open it again so the list is queried anew.
- Changed the server name? The server name is passed to the server on startup. After changing it you have to restart the server for the new name to be applied.
