How to Join an ATS/ETS2 Convoy Dedicated Server

Session browser vs Server ID search when NAT/list visibility fails—what to send your VTC.

Give your VTC

  • Game (ATS or ETS2)
  • Session name
  • Password (if any)
  • Server ID / search tip
  • Required DLC/mod list

Join paths

  1. Session browser — search by name.
  2. Server ID search — when the browser is flaky.
  3. Confirm version and packages match before blaming hosting.

Managed Chapter22 servers already expose the dedicated ports — focus on packages + token + name filters first.



Frequently Asked Questions

Browser empty?

Try Server ID / search by name; confirm token + packages + ports.

Do drivers need the same DLCs?

Yes for packages sync — mismatch blocks joins.

Password?

Enter the session password from server_config.sii if set.


Need help?

If you are stuck after following this guide, open a ticket from the Chapter22 client area with the exact error, the port or DNS change you made, and whether the service listens locally (ss / Resource Monitor) but fails externally.
