The following guide will show you how to join your server.
Note: We recommend connecting through Steam, the in-game browser won't show new servers straight away and can take time for new servers to appear.

Step 1:
Open up steam and click "View" then proceed to click "Servers".
Method 1: Via "Internet" Tab

To see players who are on your server and other information.
Question and Answer (Q and A)
Q: I cannot find my server in the steam browser
A: Check the CPU and RAM use, ark can take several minutes to start up, longer if you are using mods. It should be around 2.7GB in RAM and around 0-3% CPU.
If it's any less RAM or higher CPU, it's still starting up, wait a few minutes and check again.
Please see this guide if your server's outdated\does not appear.
