Joining a Ships At Sea multiplayer server works differently from most games: there is no direct-IP join. Servers are found by name in the in-game server list.

How to join a server

  1. Launch Ships At Sea on Steam.
  2. From the main menu choose Multiplayer.
  3. Search the server list for the server's name (ask the server owner for the exact name: capitalization and spacing matter for finding it quickly).
  4. Select the server and join. Your character and progress on that server live server-side, so you can hop on from any PC.

Worth knowing

  • Up to 16 players can play on one dedicated server (peer-to-peer co-op sessions cap at 8).
  • The game has no server passwords, so any player who finds a server's name can join it.
  • If a server does not appear in the list, it is usually running an older build than your game: dedicated servers must update in lockstep with game hotfixes. SurvivalServers-hosted servers update themselves automatically.
