How To Connect To Your Onset Server

You join an Onset server with the Onset game on Steam for Windows. Your server always runs the current Onset version, so make sure your game is up to date in Steam. Scripts, maps and other files your server's packages use download automatically when you join.

Connecting From the Server Browser

  1. 1
    Launch Onset from Steam.
  2. 2
    Open the server list from the main menu.
  3. 3
    Search for your server by its name and double-click it to join.
  4. 4
    If you set a server password, enter it when the game asks.

Note

It can take a few minutes for a new server to appear in the server list after it starts. Joining by IP always works.

Connecting With the IP Address

Onset joins a server by IP through Steam launch options.

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your Onset server.
  2. 2
    Copy the server IP address and port from the Overview page, for example 123.45.67.89:7777.
  3. 3
    In your Steam library, right-click Onset and choose Properties.
  4. 4
    Under Launch Options, enter -ConnectAddress=123.45.67.89 -ConnectPort=7777 with your own IP and port. Add -ConnectPassword=yourpassword if your server has a password.
  5. 5
    Close the window and launch Onset. It connects straight to your server.

Clear the launch options afterwards so Onset opens the main menu again next time.
