Sons of the Forest
How to Connect to a Sons of the Forest Server
Join your Sons of the Forest 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 Sons of the Forest and open the multiplayer server browser.
- Browse dedicated servers and find your server’s name.
- Join it and enter the server password if asked.
Invite friends
Share the dedicated server’s name and player password, if set. Players do not need owner or administrator access.
If you cannot join
Check that you are looking for a dedicated server, rather than a friend-hosted game. Clear filters that hide password-protected servers. If it is still missing, ask Support to check its listing.
Still stuck? Check the server’s status in Jovian, allow startup time, then contact Support with its ID and the error message.
