How to Connect to Your Echoes of Elysium Server

Welcome! This guide will walk you, step by step, through connecting to the Echoes of Elysium server you rented from PingPlayers. You already have two important pieces of information: the IP:Port (for example: 123.45.67.89:27015) and the server name you chose during setup. Follow the steps below — there is a simple path for beginners and extra tips for more experienced users.

Quick explanation of terms

• IP:Port — the address other players use to reach your specific server (the IP is the location, the port tells the game which service on that computer to use).
• Server name — the label you set when creating the server. It appears in the game’s server browser and helps you find the right server easily.

Step-by-step connection guide

1. Launch Echoes of Elysium.

   Start the game like you normally do from your desktop, launcher, or Steam library. Wait for the main menu to fully load before continuing.

2. Click Join.

   

3. Find your server by scrolling until you see the server name you set.

   

4. Select it and click Start Game.

   

5. If there's a password set, enter the password and click Next.

   

If you don't see your server in the list

If the server list does not show your server, try these alternatives:

• Refresh the server list: Use the refresh list button in the Join menu to reload. Sometimes the list needs a manual refresh to pick up recently started servers.
• Use Direct Connect : The game has a "Direct Connect" or “Join IP Address”; paste your IP:Port (for example 123.45.67.89:27015) and press connect. This will bypass the server browser.

Troubleshooting checklist

If you try the steps above and still can’t join, check the following common issues:

• Server online? Confirm the server is running in your PingPlayers control panel. If it’s stopped, start it from the panel first.
• IP:Port correct? Double-check the IP and port in your control panel and use that exact combination when connecting.
• Server name spelled correctly? Ensure you typed the server name exactly the same (including spaces and capitalization) when searching in the server browser.
• Game version match? Make sure the client game and the server are running the same version/build. Mismatched updates will often block connections.
• Password: If the server is password-protected, confirm you have the correct password (case-sensitive).
• Restart client and server: Simple restarts of your game and/or the server often resolve transient connection issues.
