Joining Your Sons of the Forest Dedicated Server
1. Log in to your Game Control Panel and navigate to your service.
2. Before making any modifications, stop the server from running by clicking the Stop button.
3. It’s best practice to keep your Sons of the Forest (SOTF) server up to date.
This is done by initiating a server update through your server panel. Wait until the process is complete and the message “The process has completed” appears.
4. The quickest and most reliable way to join your server is by using Direct Connect.
To do this, copy your game server’s IP address and game port, for example:
5. Launch the game, then go to Multiplayer and select Join.
This is an alternative method and not recommended, as there are thousands of SOTF servers. A newly created server may take several minutes to appear in the list.
The server list can take over 5 minutes to fully populate.
Before proceeding, make sure your service is running and up to date, as described in the primary method.
Then click Refresh and allow the server list to populate. This process can take over 5 minutes, and newly created servers may not appear immediately.
In some cases, it may take a few hours for a brand‑new server to show up in the list.
Use the Filter panel on the left to search for part or all of your server name to locate it more quickly.
You should now see your server in the list. Select it and click Join.
If you still can’t find your server, use the Direct Connection method described above.
