On many Steam games you can add your server to Steam's server list as a favorite, then join it with a double-click. This is handy when your server doesn't show up in the game's own browser.
Find the right address
- Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your server.
- Open the Startup tab and scroll down to Network.
- If a port is listed as Query (or Steam query or A2S query), copy that address. Otherwise copy the Game address. The address at the top of the server's page is the game port, which Steam's list can't use on games with a separate query port, such as Rust, ARK, Valheim and Unturned.
Add it to Steam
- Open Steam and go to View > Game Servers.
- Open the Favorites tab and click the button to add a server (+ or Add a Server, depending on your Steam version).
- Enter the address you copied, for example
203.0.113.25:28017, and confirm.
Your server must be running for Steam to find it. Double-click it in the list to launch the game and join.
Games this doesn't work for
- Games that aren't on Steam, such as Minecraft, FiveM, BeamMP and Terraria: join from the game itself.
- Games that join another way, such as Satisfactory (the in-game Server Manager), Windrose (an invite code) and Valheim with crossplay on (the Join code shown at the top of your server's page). See How do I connect to my Valheim server?
Most games also let you join by typing the address in game. Your game's connect article has the steps.
