How to Connect to a BeamMP Server

Open Dashboard → Servers, choose Manage on your server, and find Connection. Use IPv4 for the game’s IP/address box. For its port box, use the number after : in Address. Start the game through the BeamMP launcher, rather than launching ordinary BeamNG.drive multiplayer.

Connect

1. Open the multiplayer server list in BeamMP.
2. Select Direct Connect.
3. Enter the server’s IPv4 and port, then select Connect.
4. Wait for any required server resources to finish downloading.

Invite friends

Share the IPv4 and port. Friends need BeamNG.drive and the BeamMP launcher. Do not share your BeamMP AuthKey; it identifies the server, not a player.

If you cannot join

Use IPv4, not IPv6. If joining stops while downloading resources, ask the owner whether any required content must be installed separately.

Still stuck? Check the server’s status in Jovian, allow startup time, then contact Support with its ID and the error message.

Server owners can read the BeamMP AuthKey guide.
