# Joining a MultiWorld Game
To join, set the following launch options: `-v6ap_name YourName -v6ap_ip ServerIP:Port`.
Optionally, add `-v6ap_passwd "YourPassword"` if the room you are using requires a password. All parameters without quotation marks.
The Name in this case is the one specified in your generated .yaml file.
In case you are using the Archipelago Website, the IP should be `archipelago.gg`.
To join an Archipelago MultiWorld game, you must set the game's launch options. The two mandatory launch options are:
`-v6ap_name slotName`
`-v6ap_ip server:port`
If the game you are joining requires a password, you should also add the following to your launch options:
`-v6ap_passwd secretPassword`
If the game is to be played offline in single-player mode, you should include this launch option:
`-v6ap_file filePath`
Launch options may be found by right-clicking on the game in Steam and clicking "Properties" in the context menu. From there, open the "General" tab. There is a "Launch Options" setting near the bottom wherein you should enter the above options. Note that all launch options are separated by a space, and if there are spaces in your slot name or password, it should be surrounded with quotes.
If everything worked out, you will see a textbox informing you the connection has been established after the story intro.
# Playing offline
To play offline, first generate a seed on the game's settings page.
Create a room and download the `.apv6` file, and start the game with the `-v6ap_file FileName` launch argument.
Create a room and download the `.apv6` file, include the offline single-player launch option described above.
## Installation Troubleshooting
Start the game from the command line to view helpful messages regarding V6AP. These will look something like "V6AP: Message"
Start the game from the command line to view helpful messages regarding V6AP. These will look something like `V6AP: Message`.
### Game no longer starts after copying the .exe
Most likely you forgot to set the launch options. `-v6ap_name YourName` and `-v6ap_ip ServerIP:Port` are required for startup for Multiworlds, and
`-v6ap_file FileName` is required for (offline) singleplayer.
If your Name or Password have spaces in them, surround them in quotes.
The most likely cause of a startup failure is invalid launch options. Ensure the launch options are set properly as described above in
**Joining a MultiWorld Game**.
## Game Troubleshooting
### What happens if I lose connection?
V6AP tries to reconnect a few times, so be patient.
Should the problem still be there after about a minute or two, just save and restart the game.
If a disconnection occurs, wait a moment to see if the game automatically reconnects itself. If the problem presists, save and restart the game.
