Press **Enter** to connect.\n\n## Method 2: In-game server browser\n\nYou can also search for your server by name, though the browser can be slower to update for new or low-population servers.\n\n1. Launch **SCUM** from your Steam library.\n2. Click **Play** from the main menu, then select **Multiplayer**.\n3. Search for your server by name. If your server is password-protected, have the password ready.\n4. Select your server and click **Join**.\n\n> **Before you start:** If your server does not appear in the browser immediately, use Method 1 (direct connect) instead. New servers may take a few minutes to appear in the list.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n- Confirm your server shows as **Running** in the Host Havoc game panel before trying to connect.\n- Double-check that you are adding 2 to the configured port, not using the panel port directly.\n- If problems persist, contact Host Havoc support.",{"data":155},[156],{"cta_url":87,"translations":157},[158],{"languages_code":100,"cta_label":159,"cta_title":160,"cta_body":161},"Rent a SCUM Server","Need a SCUM server?","Full settings control, admin tools, instant setup.
