How to join a Left 4 Dead 2 server

To join your Left 4 Dead 2 server, you will need to follow these steps :

Step 1: Copy your server IP and port

In your AxentHost panel, copy your server address (IP + port). It will look like myserver.axenthost.me:45000.

Step 2: Enable the developer console

1. Launch Left 4 Dead 2 from Steam
2. Go to Options
3. Open Keyboard/Mouse
4. Set Allow Developer Console to Enabled
5. Click Done

Step 3: Connect to your server

1. From the main menu, open the console with the ~ (tilde) key
2. Type the connect command, replacing the IP and port with yours:
   connect myserver.axenthost.me:45000
3. Press Enter

Troubleshooting

• Server offline: make sure your server is started in your panel before connecting.
• Wrong address: verify you copied the correct IP:PORT.
• Console won't open: re-check that Allow Developer Console is enabled.
• Connection fails: try again after a restart, and ensure your server is not full.
