Whether you prefer to use the in-game server browser or the direct console command, this guide will walk you through the process in detail so you can quickly jump into cooperative gameplay with your friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can join, you first need to make sure your server is running. To do this, log in to your <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.ggservers.com\">GGServers Control Panel<\/a>. Once logged in, select your Sven Co-op service and click on <strong>Start<\/strong> to bring the server online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"111\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-84-1024x111.png\" alt=\"Starting Sven Co-op server from GGServers panel\" class=\"wp-image-17652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-84-1024x111.png 1024w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-84-300x33.png 300w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-84-768x83.png 768w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-84-50x5.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-84-60x7.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-84-100x11.png 100w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-84.png 1226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the server is fully online and shows as \u201cRunning,\u201d you\u2019ll need to locate your server\u2019s IP address and port.
