How to connect to your Arma Reforger server

This article covers joining your PlayNHost Arma Reforger server.

1. Find your server address

1. Log in to the Client Area at https://playnhost.com/billing and open your Arma Reforger service.
2. Note the IP / Hostname and Port. Reforger uses 2001 as the game port by default, with a separate query port that the server browser uses.

2. Start the server and let it settle

1. Open the server in the Game Panel and click Start.
2. Watch the Console. If your server loads mods, it downloads them from the Workshop on this first start, which can take a while.
3. Wait for the line reporting the scenario has loaded.

3. Find the server in the browser

1. Launch Arma Reforger and choose Multiplayer.
2. Type your server name into the search field.
3. Clear the filters, especially the ones for official servers, modded servers and full servers.
4. Select the server and join, entering the password if one is set.

If the browser offers a direct join option, entering your IP and port there gets you in without waiting for the list.

4. What to give your group

• The exact server name to search for.
• The join password, if you set one.
• A note that modded servers download their mods to the client on join, so the first connection is slow.

5. If it is missing from the list

• Check that visible is true in the server config.
• Check the console for errors about the scenario. A server that failed to load a scenario stays up but does not register properly.
• Console players only see the server if cross platform play is enabled in the config.

Open a ticket from Support in the Client Area with the console output if the server is running and still cannot be found.
