How to Connect to Your FiveM Server
This guide explains how to connect to your FiveM server using two different methods: through the in-game server list, or by connecting directly using the server IP address. Below you will find step-by-step instructions for both methods.
Steps to Connect Using the In-Game Server List
- Log in to your DazcoHost game panel.
- Select your FiveM Server.
- Go to the server console and stop the server.
- Head up to the "Startup" tab.
- Change the "Server Hostname" field to what you want your server to appear as in the FiveM server list.
- Start the server again and you will find it there.
Steps to Connect Using the Server IP
- Open the FiveM Client.
- Press the F8 key on your keyboard.
- Type the following in the game console and press Enter:
connect <server ip:port>
For example:
connect 142.25.00.95:30120
You will connect to the server.
Important Notes
- Your server may take a few minutes to appear in the public server list after starting.
- You can find your server's IP address and port in the "Console" tab of your game panel.
- Make sure your server is set to "Public" in the settings if you want it to appear in the server list.
Troubleshooting
If you cannot connect to your FiveM server:
- Make sure the server is running in your game panel.
- Double-check that you are using the correct IP address and port.
- Try connecting using the direct IP method instead of the server list.
