Sven Co-op server not showing up or unable to connect

Join with Sven Co-op, not the original Half-Life client. Use the assigned game address or search for Server Name. Region is a browser-discovery setting; the value -1 hides the server from the public list.

If joining fails

If a stock map works but a custom campaign fails, compare the map package and required assets. A missing map or resource is not fixed by changing the game port.

  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.
