How To Connect To Your OpenTTD Server

Here is how you can join your OpenTTD dedicated server. OpenTTD is free from openttd.org and on Steam.

Connecting From The Server List

  1. 1
    Open OpenTTD and click Multiplayer.
  2. 2
    Click Search internet to load the list of public servers.
  3. 3
    Type your server name in the filter box at the top.
  4. 4
    Select your server and click Join game. If you set a server password, enter it when asked.
  5. 5
    You join as a spectator. Open Online players from the toolbar and click (New company) to start your own company, or join a company that's already playing.

Note

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

Connecting With The IP Address

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your OpenTTD server.
  2. 2
    Copy the server IP address and port from the Overview page, for example 123.45.67.89:3979.
  3. 3
    Open OpenTTD and click Multiplayer.
  4. 4
    Click Add server, enter your IP address and port, then click OK.
  5. 5
    Select your server in the list and click Join game.

If your server has a password, OpenTTD asks for it when you join.
