How to join a Left 4 Dead 2 server
Learn how to join a Left 4 Dead 2 server. You can host your own dedicated Left 4 Dead 2 server on AxentHost and join it in just a few steps.
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
- Launch Left 4 Dead 2 from Steam
- Go to Options
- Open Keyboard/Mouse
- Set Allow Developer Console to Enabled
- Click Done
Step 3: Connect to your server
- From the main menu, open the console with the ~ (tilde) key
-
Type the connect command, replacing the IP and port with yours:
connect myserver.axenthost.me:45000 - 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.
