Prepare the game (Build 42)
The server runs on the Build 42 beta. In Steam: Project Zomboid → Properties → Betas → select “b42 unstable” and wait for the update. Server mods download automatically on first connect.
Important — RAM: Increase the client memory limit (the -Xms/-Xmx values in ProjectZomboid64.json, e.g. -Xmx4096m). The server runs over 150 mods — on default settings the game may crash. Guide in the FAQ →

Connect to the server
In game choose “Join”, enter the server address and log in with your panel credentials — or use quick connect via Steam.
Connection issues?: In the server connect window enable “Steam Relay” — traffic is routed through Steam's network, bypassing NAT or routing issues at your ISP.
