Quick Start Checklist

- Access to Pterodactyl control panel
- Steam client installed (for server browser)
Step 1: Access Your Control Panel
After purchasing your server, you'll receive an email with your Pterodactyl panel login credentials. Access your panel at panel.rivixservers.com.
Step 2: Start Your Server
In the Pterodactyl panel:
- Click the green Start button on your server console
- Wait for the server to fully initialize (you'll see "Server is ready" in console)
- Note your server's IP address and port (displayed in the panel)
Step 3: Configure Server Settings
Navigate to File Manager in your panel and edit ServerConfig/ServerSettings.ini:
[Server]
ServerName=Your Server Name
MaxPlayers=16
ServerPassword=yourpassword
AdminPassword=adminpassword
Step 4: Connect to Your Server
Launch VEIN and connect using one of these methods:
- Steam Server Browser: View → Servers → Add Server (enter IP:Port)
- In-game: Join Game → Direct Connect (enter IP:Port)
- Console command:
connect ip:port
Default Server Info
- Query Port: 27015 (default, can be changed)
- RCON Port: 27016 (if enabled)
- Config Files: ServerConfig/ folder
- Saves: SaveGames/ folder
Common Issue
If players cannot see your server in the browser, ensure the Query Port (27015) is open in your firewall settings. Contact support if you need assistance with port configuration.
