To join the server (releasing Friday 8pm BST!)

You can join the server through one of your friends playing the server of course, but if that's not possible or you don't want to do that, here's how to join on your own:

Open up console (` key, above left tab, by default) and type in: connect 85.114.128.114:27050

Press enter and you will join the server. (The ip is also pinned in #gmod-deathrun)

--

To open console, by default it's the key above left tab on qwerty keyboards (`).

If that doesn't work, use whichever key is bound to 'Toggle developer console' in your Options/Keyboard settings [see image below] - and if there isn't a key bound there, click on it, click 'Edit key' and bind a key to it.


After you've played on the server, you can more easily get back to the server by using the History tab in the multiplayer menu, or you can add it to your Favourites by clicking on 'Find Multiplayer Game', 'Legacy Browser', 'History', right click the server on the list and click 'Add to Favourites'. Then the server will always be in the 'Favourites' tab on the multiplayer menu.

You can also join from TTT now, by doing !deathrun and clicking 'Yes'.

Downloads

Workshop collection: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1440506446

What's this for?

You don't need to do anything with that link if you don't want to. Once you're in the server, you will download the playermodels and hats we have automatically. The download is short. The models and maps the server uses are in this Workshop collection (see above), which you can subscribe to before release so that you don't have to download anything when you join the server for the first time.

Again, you don't need to do anything with that link if you don't want to - the download is quick after all. But a thing to note is that when you join, you'll only download the current map in play, and each time the server switches to a map you don't have, you'll likely take a bit longer to load in than people who do have the map because you'll be downloading the map. This will only happen one time for every new map, but if you want to avoid it, subscribe to all the maps here and have it download ready for release!

I'll set up the Gametracker page on Friday and edit that to be here as well (as well as in my signature just like with TTT):

https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/85.114.128.114:27050/

That's it!
