Garry’s Mod
How to Connect to a Garry’s Mod Server
Join your Garry’s Mod server, invite friends, and check common connection problems.
You’ll need the name your server uses in the game’s server list and its player password, if one is set. This name can differ from the game title on your Jovian server card. Ask the owner or Jovian Support if you don’t know it.
Connect
- Start Garry’s Mod and select Find Multiplayer Game.
- Choose the server’s gamemode.
- Use the search box to find its name and select the result.
- Choose Join Server, enter the player password if asked, and wait for required content to download.
Invite friends
Share the server name, gamemode, and player password. Tell friends about any games or add-ons the owner requires for that server.
If you cannot join
Search within the correct gamemode. If you see missing models or textures, ask the owner which content is required; downloading the server’s files may not supply content from other games.
Still stuck? Check the server’s status in Jovian, allow startup time, then contact Support with its ID and the error message.
