DDNet

DDNet server not showing up or unable to connect

DDNet’s Register server field controls whether this instance advertises publicly. Its template defaults to an unlisted server, so a missing browser entry does not necessarily mean it is offline. Try the assigned address directly.

If joining fails

If direct connection works, check Register server and the browser filters. If a particular map fails to load, compare Server map with the files under data/maps and read the map-loading error.

  1. Open Console and wait for the game or world to finish loading. Save the first error if startup stops.
  2. Use the joining method above with one client on the matching game version and required content.
  3. If entry is rejected, compare the exact error with the password, edition, map or authentication checks above. Keep the working save while testing.
Open Startup → Variables for the controls exposed by this server. This demonstration hides private values; file edits are made through Files.
