How to join CHILL

Three ways to connect — pick whichever is easiest for you.

…

Before you start

  • You need ARK: Survival Ascended, updated to the latest version. The steps below are for PC.
  • Client and server versions must match — if you can't see or join the server after an update, restart the game and try again.

Ways to connect

  1. Server browser (easiest)

    1. Launch ARK: Survival Ascended and choose Join Game.
    2. Switch to the Unofficial tab.
    3. Search for CHILL, select the server and press Join.

    A freshly restarted server can take a few minutes to appear in the list.

  2. Direct connect with the console

    1. At the main menu open the console with Tab.
    2. Type open IP:PORT and press Enter.

    Use the server's game port (UDP) shown in the box above.

  3. Steam favourites

    1. In Steam open View → Game Servers (Ctrl+Shift+S).
    2. On the Favorites tab click Add a Server and enter IP:QUERY_PORT (the query port).
    3. Select the server and press Connect.
