# How to Join Your Euro Truck Simulator 2 Server (/docs/euro-truck-simulator-2/join-server)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

Method 1: Session Browser [#method-1-session-browser]

1. Launch Euro Truck Simulator 2
2. Go to **Convoy** → **Browse Sessions**
3. Search for your server by name
4. Click **Join**
5. Enter the password if required

> 📝 **Note:** The server must have port forwarding configured for ports 27015 and 27016 (TCP+UDP) to appear in the browser.

Method 2: Direct Session ID [#method-2-direct-session-id]

Every server gets a session search ID shown in the console on startup. Players can search by this ID directly:

1. Go to **Convoy** → **Browse Sessions**
2. Enter the session ID in the search field
3. Join

> 💡 **Tip:** Create a [GSLT token](/docs/euro-truck-simulator-2/gslt-token) so your session ID stays the same across restarts.

Version Mismatch [#version-mismatch]

The game client and server **must be on the same version**. If you can't connect after a game update, see [Version Mismatch & Downgrade](/docs/euro-truck-simulator-2/version-mismatch).
