Connect without confusion

Connect to the Windrose server

Follow this page from top to bottom. Für den MAIN mod server: erst verifizieren, dann Varga-Tech Launcher/Chat, Web Mod-Sync oder manuelle Mods sauber prüfen, danach Direct Connect mit Domain und Port nutzen. If you want to play without mods, use the separate Varga-Tech vanilla server with invite code vargatechvanilla instead.

Server details

Your checklist

What is already done?

Tick off what you have completed. The page immediately shows what is still missing. Important: Du kannst den empfohlenen Varga-Tech Launcher/Chat nutzen, ohne Launcher einmalig den Web Mod-Sync im Browser verwenden oder komplett manuell nach Guide arbeiten. In allen Fällen dürfen nur die Varga-Tech Server-Mods aktiv sein.

🧩 Manual mods

Alternative without launcher: manual mod installation

Use only these files

Wenn du den Launcher/Chat nicht nutzen möchtest, nutze den einmaligen Web Mod-Sync oder die manuelle Mod-Guide. Important: Es dürfen wirklich nur die Mods aktiv sein, die in der Varga-Tech Modliste für diesen Server stehen.

Very important: extra, old, foreign or wrong local mods can cause wrong textures, missing content, connection issues, client/game crashes, server problems or character data loss.
New alternative without software: The one-time Web Mod-Sync uses the Varga-Tech manifest file, lets you choose the local ~mods folder yourself, verifies files via SHA256 and writes only after your explicit permission.

This is what Direct Connect looks like

Enter address and port in the fields. The password comes from verification.

Common pitfalls

If it does not work immediately

I do not have a password

You must first confirm the magic link from your email. After that, the password is shown.

I cannot join the MAIN mod server

Launcher/Chat starten, Web Mod-Sync nutzen oder manuelle Mod-Guide sauber prüfen, Domain und Port kontrollieren. Then test the backup IP. Wenn du ohne Mods spielen möchtest, nutze den anderen Vanilla Server mit Invite code vargatechvanilla.

My mods do not match

Nur die Varga-Tech Server-Mods verwenden. Zusätzliche, alte, fremde oder falsche lokale Mods entfernen. Ohne Launcher den Web Mod-Sync oder die manuelle Mod-Guide nutzen.

I need personal help

Open Discord and post player name, error message and screenshot.

Alternative without mods

Separate vanilla server: no mods, no launcher, no Web-Sync

Do you not want to use the MAIN mod server? Then you can join the separate Varga-Tech vanilla server directly in-game using the invite code. For that you need no Varga-Tech server mods, no Launcher/Chat and no browser sync.

Important: this is the separate vanilla server. The mod checklist below applies to the MAIN mod server. Please do not run mod-sync steps for the vanilla server.

Why this order?

Verification protects the server; mods must match exactly

Die Reihenfolge ist wichtig: Verification gibt dir das Password. Danach Launcher/Chat nutzen, den Web Mod-Sync verwenden oder die manuelle Mod-Guide befolgen. Direct Connect kommt erst danach.

Antivirus note: Some antivirus tools or Windows SmartScreen may falsely flag new community launchers as unknown, phishing or a virus. The EXE should be signed with a code-signing certificate; download it only from the Varga-Tech Windrose domain and check the SHA256 value on the launcher page.
New: Server chatWhisper, group chat and online list are active.
