Joining a MultiWorld Game
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 options page.
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.
Game no longer starts after copying the .exe
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?
If a disconnection occurs, wait a moment to see if the game automatically reconnects itself. If the problem presists, save and restart the game.
