How to Connect to Your Arma Reforger Server
Learn how to join your Arma Reforger dedicated server using direct connect or the server browser on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
Here's how to find your server's IP address and connect to your Arma Reforger server. You can join via direct connect (fastest) or find your server in the server browser.
Finding Your Server IP
Open the XGamingServer panel
Log in to the XGamingServer panel and select your Arma Reforger server.
Locate your IP address
Your server IP address is displayed in the sidebar (e.g., 198.137.23.46:27030).
💡 Tip: Click the IP address to copy it to your clipboard. The number before the colon is the IP address, and the number after is the port — you'll need both to direct connect.
Direct Connect (PC)
Direct connect is the fastest way to join your server without searching through the browser:
Open Multiplayer
Open Arma Reforger and select Multiplayer.
Open Direct Join
Press V to open the Direct Join dialog.
Enter your server details
Enter your server's IP address and port in the separate fields:
- IP:
198.137.23.46 - Port:
27030
Connect to the server
Click Confirm.
Your game will connect directly to the server. If the server has a password, you'll be prompted to enter it before joining.
Using the Server Browser
If you prefer to browse for your server instead of direct connecting:
Open Multiplayer
Open Arma Reforger and select Multiplayer.
Go to the Community tab
Switch to the Community tab (your XGamingServer instance appears here, not under Official).
Search for your server
Use the search bar to find your server by name.
Join your server
Select your server and click Join.
The server browser shows useful information before you connect:
- Player count — How many players are currently online vs. max players
- Scenario — Which scenario the server is running
- Ping — Your latency to the server (lower is better)
- Lock icon — Indicates the server requires a password
- Mod indicator — Shows if the server is running mods
Connecting on Console (Xbox / PlayStation)
If crossplay is enabled on the server, console players can join too:
Open Multiplayer
Open Arma Reforger and go to Multiplayer.
Find the server
Search for the server by name in the Community tab.
Join the server
Select the server and join.
📝 Note: Direct connect via IP is available on PC only. Console players must find the server through the server browser.
Troubleshooting Connection Issues
If you can't connect to your server:
- Server not showing in browser — Make sure the server has fully started. Check
Consoleon the XGamingServer panel for startup progress. - "Server version mismatch" — Your game client and server are on different versions. Make sure both are updated to the latest version.
- "Connection failed" — Verify the IP address and port are correct. Try restarting your game client.
- Stuck on loading screen — If the server is running mods, your game needs to download them first. This can take a while for large mods.
- Password prompt — The server has a password set. Ask the server owner for the password.
Adding Your Server to Favorites
After connecting once, you can favorite your server so it's easy to find next time:
