This is the “send to your friends” guide for joining a StarRupture dedicated server hosted on LOW.MS.
What you need from the server owner
- Server IP (example:
123.45.67.89) - Game Port (example:
7777, if needed) - Player/Join password (only if the server is passworded)
Note: StarRupture has two different passwords.
Players only need the Player/Join password. The Server Management password is for admins using Manage Server.
Join steps (in-game)
- Open StarRupture
- Click Join Game
- Go to the Dedicated Server tab
- Enter the server address:
- If the box supports it, use
IP:Port(example:123.45.67.89:7777) - If it doesn’t, enter just the IP and connect (some builds assume the default port)
- If the box supports it, use
- Enter the Player/Join password (if set)
- Click Connect/Join
If it fails (fast checks)
“Connection timed out” / “Can’t connect”
- Make sure the server is Running in the LOW.MS Control Panel
- Confirm you typed the IP correctly (copy/paste avoids mistakes)
- Try again with the other address format (IP only vs IP:Port)
- Ask the owner to restart the server from the panel and wait 60–90 seconds
“Wrong password”
- Make sure you’re using the Join password, not the Management password
- Ask the owner to reset the join password if needed
“Server feels fresh / wrong world”
- The owner likely needs to load the correct save (Manage Server → Load Game → Start Game)
- Or set up DSSettings.txt to auto-load the save after every restart
