Cant get Join IP button to work

[disdisdis]

Anybody having similar issue after most recent patch?

[disdisdis]

I dont think its a software issue on my end. I have tried my local copy of the game via steam as well as playing the game via GeForceNow on their servers. Same thing on both copies. I type in IP address of server that I know is there, and nothing happens when I click the connect button. Its like the button doesnt do anything anymore. Its not lag, not a disconnect issue, not an incompatible game type issue - no errors just nothing.

It looks like the Join IP window just silently fails and logs some stuff. After following your steps, return to the main menu, click "Show Player.log" (in the bottom left corner) and open the Player.log file in a text editor. Does it show any errors related to the connection?

I am also getting this problem. Since MacOS is not supported I have to use GeForceNow. When I type in the IP (xx.xx.xx.xx:yyyy no letters or spaces) and press the button. The button "activates" and the UI makes a click sound, but nothing actually happens. When I go back to the menu screen, there is a button for "Show Player Log", but clicking that also does nothing. I'm assuming that it may be doing something at the GeForceNow place, but I can't see it.

Yeah I’m not sure if there’s a way to access the player log from GFN since it’s stored server side. I can try running my local copy and check the log but I really don’t think this is a connection issue.

i too have this problem and it only recently started this. ive played like plus 40 hours of this game and the direct ip connect was working using the +connect command in the valheim properties menu but now even that doesnt work

i really want to get back into my friend's server, so i even do a complete computer reset, uninstalling and reinstalling my entire pc and started with steam and valheim being my first downloads and still i cant get the ip address connect button to do anything

[disdisdis]

Yes the “Connect” button in the Join IP window has absolutely no function. Somehow since Friday last week this broke. It was working before. Can we please get some guidance or comment from support on this?

[disdisdis]

Also to be clear this is not just a GeForceNow problem. I have both GFN as well as stand-alone copies of the game direct thru steam and the Join IP “connect” button doesn’t work on any copy of the game under any circumstances that I can find. I’ve been testing this for a couple days now trying to get back into my private shared dedicated server with friends. The server works fine they have been playing non stop. It’s not a server issue and it’s not a connection issue.

Oh, so that's what's going on. Well, hope they fix it fast.

[disdisdis]

Yea I can’t say for certain I’m not a programmer, just observation from personal experience trying to login for last couple days. It’s pretty frustrating tho. Good to know I’m not the only one experiencing this issue. Hopefully we can get some kind of acknowledgment/response. Or just a hot fix will be fine as well lol

[disdisdis]

Maybe this is just a GUI issue? Maybe the link for the “connect” button got deleted? I imagine this can’t be fixed without some kind of update so we will probably have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest, but would be great if somebody could provide any type of guidance on this please

Thank you this is helpful info. I had no idea about this. I’ll try and see if it works. Do you know if port is assigned by the dedicated server host? In other words do I have to update something serverside?

[disdisdis]

Thanks for the suggestion but sad to report this is incorrect. All my friends still are able to access the server thru port 26986. And regardless of the port number I enter into any of my copies of the game, the Join IP “connect” button still has absolutely no function.

Both the game clients and the server are running most recent game version.

You should be able to join from the steam server list. https://survivalservers.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_Join_a_Valheim_Server

The join by ip button never worked for me...
