First start
- Copy your EOS player ID from your Dragonwilds client. This is not your Steam ID or a password.
- In the Runic panel, open Startup and paste it into Owner ID. Choose a server and world name, then start the server.
- Wait for the world to load and the console to report that the game session is listening before trying to join.
Connect and recover
Use the assigned address and game port shown under Network. Dragonwilds also uses a settings beacon on the game port plus 1111; Runic assigns both ports together.
If the world appears but joining returns to the title screen, contact support with the server address and time of the attempt so we can inspect both ports.
Take a backup before changing the world name or moving an existing save. Stop the server before replacing files.
