How to Join Your QANGA Server ​

You find your QANGA server in the game through the server list. After starting, your server registers with Steam on its own and shows up there with the name set in the dashboard.

Find your connection details ​

Important

You look for your server in the server list by its name. You can see which name your server uses in the dashboard of your server.

Join the server ​

  1. Start QANGA
    Launch QANGA on your PC and wait for the main menu to load.

  2. Open the server list
    Open the online mode in the main menu. You now see the list of available servers.

  3. Search for your server
    Look for the name of your server in the list. With many entries it helps to type the name into the search.

  4. Join
    Select your server and confirm joining.

  5. Enter the password
    If a password is set for your server, enter it now and confirm.

Do you need to open ports? ​

Note

No. That is not necessary on your rented server – the ports are already set up and are listed in the dashboard.

Your server uses two ports for this:

PortPurpose
Game PortThe game traffic runs through this port.
Query PortThe server registers with Steam through this port so it appears in the server list.

Both ports are assigned to you automatically.

Server does not appear in the list ​

If your server does not show up right after starting, a little patience usually helps — registering with Steam takes a moment after every start. Additionally check:

  • Is the server running? The status in the dashboard has to be Online.
  • Did you restart after a change in the dashboard? The startup parameters are only applied after a restart.
  • Are you searching for the exact name? The search in the server list is sensitive to typos.
  • Refresh the server list in the game instead of just waiting.

Caution

If the server is running but never appears in the list, check the console of your server. Errors during startup or an update still in progress are the most common cause.

Note

Your progress on this server is stored on the server itself. That way your shared world is kept, even when nobody is online.
