Here's how to connect to your Day of Dragons server and adjust the most important settings.

Connecting

  1. Open the server page in the client area and click Start.
  2. Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
  3. Launch Day of Dragons and find the server in the server list by its name.

Important settings

In the Startup variables tab:

  • Query port (QUERY_PORT) – for the Steam server list.

Changes in the Startup variables tab take effect on the next restart.

Good to know

  • We assign the ports automatically – you don’t need to set anything.
  • Further game settings are in the configuration files in the Files tab (available after the first start).
