How to fix a Mordhau server that isn’t listed
1
Check that the server is ready
Open the console. A ready server shows lines like
IpNetDriver listening on port, Match State Changed from EnteringMap to WaitingToStart and, about 20 seconds after the start, Session GameSession successfully created. Wait for the last line before you look for the server.2
Let a first start finish
The first start downloads and installs about 6 GB and creates the config files. Let it finish, then stop and start the server once more so your Server Name and passwords are applied.
3
Search for the right name
Search for the name in Server Name on Startup. If you changed the name in
Game.ini, the panel replaced it at the next start; change it on Startup and restart.4
Check your filters
If you use filters in Mordhau’s server browser, clear them and search again.
5
Join directly
Copy the address from the panel header or Overview. In Mordhau, press
~ and type open followed by the address, for example open 203.0.113.10:7787.Why can players see my server but not join?
Frequently asked questions
Which address do players use to join?
The game address shown in the panel header and on Overview, made of your IP and game port, for example203.0.113.10:7787. The Query Port and Beacon Port on Startup are used by the server itself; players don’t type them.
How long does it take for my server to appear?
Usually soon afterSession GameSession successfully created shows in the console, about 20 seconds after the start once the server is installed. If it still doesn’t show after a few minutes, join directly with open.
My server worked yesterday. Why is it missing today?
Check that it is running and that the console shows the ready line. After a Mordhau update, restart the server so Auto Update installs the new version. See server not starting if it doesn’t come back.Related guides
