How to Join Your Aloft Dedicated Server
Connect to your Aloft server using a Friend Code or the in-game server browser — including crossplay for Xbox players.
Aloft uses Friend Codes as the primary connection method. The server browser works but is slow to update.
Get the room code
In the XGamingServer Panel, click Files and open ServerRoomCode.txt. Copy the code inside.
The Friend Code changes on every server restart. Share the new code with your players each time.
Open Join Game
Launch Aloft → Multiplayer → Join Game.
Search for your server
Select your region and look for your server in the list.
Click Join Game next to your server.
New or restarted servers can take 15–30 minutes to appear in the browser. The Friend Code method is instant.
Game Code Dialog
When joining via code, you'll see the confirmation dialog:
Crossplay (Xbox)
Aloft supports PC and Xbox crossplay. Xbox players join through the same in-game server browser — no extra config needed.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Friend Code not working | Get the latest code from ServerRoomCode.txt — changes on every restart |
| Server not in browser | Wait 15–30 minutes after startup. Use Friend Code instead |
| Can't connect | Verify server is running. Check ports in Network tab |
