How to Connect to Your Renown Server

Renown servers are found in the in-game browser. Your server also has query, beacon and RCON ports allocated to it, which the game and your admin tools use and players never enter.

Find your address

Open your server at https://panel.playnhost.com. The overview shows the IP and the ports assigned to SERVER_PORT, QUERY_PORT, BEACON_PORT and RCON_PORT. Players connect on SERVER_PORT.

Join from the browser

1. Launch Renown and open the server browser.
2. Switch to the community or custom list.
3. Clear the filters, particularly the ones hiding empty and password protected servers.
4. Search for your server name as set in Game.ini.
5. Join, entering the password if one is set.

Join directly

Renown is built on Unreal Engine, so the standard console connect works:

1. Open the console at the main menu with the tilde key.
2. Run:

   open 203.0.113.10:7777

   using your IP and SERVER_PORT.

This works before the server has registered with the browser, which makes it the right thing to send while you are still setting up.

If you cannot connect

• Check the panel console. Renown logs the map loading and reports when the server is ready.
• Confirm you used SERVER_PORT and not the query or RCON port.
• A version mismatch after a game update hides the server from updated clients. Restart the server so it pulls the new build.
• If the server is listed but the join is refused, a password is set that has not been shared.
