Longvinter: Connecting to and setting up your server

Here you'll learn how to connect to your Longvinter server and set it up.

Connecting

Start the server on the server page with Start.
Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console.
In the game, connect via the multiplayer menu or direct connect using the address from the server page.
The address (IP:Port) is shown at the top of your server page.

You change these values in the Startup variables tab. Changes take effect on the next restart.

Server name (SERVER_NAME) – the name in the server browser.
Server password (SERVER_PASSWORD) – letters and numbers only. Leave it empty if anyone may join.
Max. players (MAX_PLAYERS) – how many players can play at the same time.
Admin ID (ADMIN_ID) – the EOS account ID of the admins. You'll find it in the game under Options → General. Separate multiple IDs with a space.
Enable PvP (ENABLE_PVP) – true or false, whether players may fight each other.

Further settings are in the file longvinter-linux-server/Longvinter/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini in the Files tab.

During setup, the server files are downloaded via Steam. The first start can therefore take a few minutes longer.
