# 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 settings 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.
