The following error message was received when trying to connect: “Valheim can’t connect to dedicated server.”
This error is typically caused by a firewall, antivirus, or router blocking the connection. You can test this by temporarily disabling these programs and attempting to reconnect. If you are able to connect with them disabled, then your issue is a firewall/AV issue.
Valheim Can’t Connect To Dedicated Server
I’m trying to connect to my own valheim server, but it fails to connect. I’ve tried running the dedicated server as admin, with no luck. I’ve also tried changing the port and adding the port in the steamcmd.ini file, but it still doesn’t work.
I have been trying to play on my own Valheim server for weeks now and had no luck. I have tried contacting support but they didn’t get back to me at all.
I have a feeling that this has something to do with my router or firewall settings because it’s been working fine before I shut down my computer and went on vacation for a week.
Hi, I’m trying to setup a dedicated server for Valheim. I’ve downloaded the game, installed it and it works fine. But when I try to connect to my own dedicated server, I can’t get past the loading screen.
I’ve tried following these instructions on how to set up a dedicated server but they don’t seem to work. The same thing happens no matter what port I try.
I’m using Windows 7 64bit (with service pack 1).
Any help would be really appreciated!
I have a dedicated server setup for Valheim. I have installed it and it works fine on my computer. When I try to connect to the server it says that it can’t connect.
I’m using the IP address 192.168.1.5:7777, but when I try to connect using this IP address, it says in the console “Couldn’t establish connection”. I’ve tried using my public IP address as well but that doesn’t work either.
I’m using a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.9 Mavericks (Version 10.9.4)
This can be caused by a number of reasons.
Here are some of the most common ones:
Auto-update is disabled (this is not recommended)
Your firewall is blocking ports 23445 and 23446.
You have a firewall installed and you haven’t added an exception for your server.
You are using a router instead of a dedicated server.
Valheim dedicated server troubleshooting
My Valheim dedicated server is not working. How can I fix it?
The most common issue is that the game files are missing from the server. Make sure that you have downloaded the game and installed it on your computer. Then try to connect again.
If this does not work, try to reinstall the game using a different method. If you still cannot connect to your own Valheim dedicated server, contact our support team for help.
Valheim dedicated server setup
I want to play on my own Valheim dedicated server but I’m not sure how to set up one myself?
Hi! I have a valheim dedicated server, but I cant connect to it.

4. restarting router and PC (windows 10) and restarting steam server (Valheim Dedicated Server)
I have a valheim dedicated server. I am able to log into the web admin and see the server in there, but when I try to connect to it with a client the game just runs at 0 ping, 0 FPS, and gives me this error:
I’ve tried restarting the server and client, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know what’s wrong?
If you have a dedicated server with us, please contact us via support@valheim.com or our Live Chat if you’re getting an error message like “Failed to connect to the master server” or “The master server is unavailable”.
If you’re using the Steam version of Dark Souls, then we recommend that you disable the Steam client before trying to connect to your own server again. You may also want to try disabling any other software that may be interfering with Dark Souls (e.g., antivirus software).
