How To Connect To Your Soldier of Fortune II Server

Here is how you can join your Soldier of Fortune II server. Your server runs version 1.03, the Gold Edition release, so players need SoF2 1.03.

Your gameCan join?
Gold Edition, or the original game patched to 1.03Yes
The original game on 1.00 (Silver)No, install the 1.03 patch first
The multiplayer demoNo

Tip

The Gold Edition from GOG is already on 1.03 and ready to play.

Connecting With The IP Address

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your Soldier of Fortune II server.
  2. 2
    Copy the server IP address and port from the Overview page, for example 123.45.67.89:20100.
  3. 3
    Start Soldier of Fortune II Multiplayer and press the ~ key to open the console.
  4. 4
    Type /connect 123.45.67.89:20100 with your own IP and port, then press Enter.

If your server has a password, type /password yourpassword in the console before you connect.

Connecting From The Server Browser

Your server lists on the original master server and on the community master server run by the 1fx. Mod team.

  1. 1
    Start Soldier of Fortune II Multiplayer and click Join Server.
  2. 2
    Set the source to Internet and refresh the list.
  3. 3
    Find your server name in the list and double-click it to join.

If your server doesn't show up, start the game with SoF2MP.1fxmaster.exe from the 1fx. client patches, which reads the community master server. Joining by IP always works.

Note

On Hide and Seek or Humans and Zombies, players need downloads turned on in the game's multiplayer options. The game then downloads the small 1fx. add-on the first time they join.
