How to Join a StarRupture Server

How to Join a StarRupture Server

StarRupture uses Epic Online Services (EOS) for multiplayer. To join a dedicated server, you'll use the in-game Dedicated Server connection option.

Renting a StarRupture server (see example control panel below!)

Step 1: Set Your Server Password (First Time Only)

Before players can join your server, you must set a server password using the in-game Manage Server feature.

1. Start your server from the control panel
2. Launch StarRupture on your PC
3. From the Main Menu, click Manage Server
4. Enter your server IP:Port (found in your control panel)
5. Click Connect
6. On first connection, you will be prompted to create a password - this becomes your server password

Step 2: Join Your Server

Once the password is set, you and other players can connect:

1. From the Main Menu, click Join Game
2. Click the Dedicated Server tab
3. Enter your server IP:Port
4. Enter the password you set in Step 1
5. Click Connect

Finding Your Server IP and Port

You can find your server's IP address and port from your control panel:

1. Log in to the SurvivalServers Control Panel
2. Select your StarRupture server
3. Your IP:Port is displayed in the Server Details section
4. Click the info icon next to the IP for more details

Troubleshooting

Can't Connect to Server

• Make sure your server is Started (green status) in the control panel
• Verify you're using the correct IP:Port
• Ensure you're entering the correct password
• Try restarting the server from the control panel

Password Issues

• The server password is set in-game via Manage Server, not in the control panel
• If you forget your password, you can delete the Password.json file via FTP and set a new one
• Password.json is located in the root of your server directory

Server Not Visible

• StarRupture uses EOS (Epic Online Services), not Steam networking
• You must use the Dedicated Server option in Join Game, not the server browser
• Direct IP connection is required
