There are two very convenient ways to join your DayZ Standalone server.

  • Via Steam Favorites
  • Via In-Game

 

FIRST METHOD: Via Steam Favorites

1. Just login to the Game Panel (click this link for easy access) then go to your Game Service.

Note your IP address and port number in the Query Info section. We will be using this shortly.

2. Now open your Steam client. Click on View on the upper left portion of the screen. Click on Game Servers and go to the Favorites tab. Click the "+" button on the bottom right section, and enter the IP Address + Port number you copied from your server's Query Info.

NOTE: Make sure you don't confuse Query Info with Connection Info.

3. With your server added to Steam Favorites, you can now always join your DayZ server via your Steam Favorites tab. Click on the saved server, press Connect, and the DayZ Launcher will automatically run and let you choose
