1-Step Connect to Server

Overview

Commands and URLs to connect to a server in one step.

Basics

Replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP address or hostname.

892970 is the magic number for Valheim on Steam. If you see 892970 in commands, that’s why it’s there.

Command Line

Shortcut

Create a shortcut to Steam.exe in the normal way, and then edit to use the Command Line above:

Steam’s Server List
