# How to Join your Euro Truck Simulator 2 server

How to join your Euro Truck 2 Simulator server.

There are multiple ways to connect to your **Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2).**

The most reliable method is to **search using your Session Search ID**, which ensures you connect directly to your hosted convoy.

Alternatively, you can find your server in the **Convoy Browser** by searching for it by name or browsing all available game sessions.

## Locate Your Session Search ID

1. Open your **Nodecraft Dashboard** and select your **Euro Truck Simulator 2** server.
2. Go to the **Overview** tab.
3. Locate and copy your **Session Search ID** listed in the **Overview** section.

**Note: The Session Search ID is usually displayed when the server fully starts. If you don’t see it, restart the server and check the Session ID box once more.**

## Join Your ETS2 Server

1. Launch **Euro Truck Simulator 2**.
2. From the main menu, open the **Convoys** tab.
3. Select **Convoy Lobby**.

**Note: If this is your first time playing ETS2, you’ll need to complete your first job before you can join or host a convoy.**

4. Click **Continue**.  
5. In the **Search** field, paste your **Session Search ID**.  
6. Select your server from the list.  
7. Click **Join Convoy** to connect.

## Troubleshooting

If you’re unable to find or join your server, try the following:

- **Verify your Session ID:** Make sure you copied the entire Session Search ID correctly—missing even one character will prevent the game from locating your server.
- **Ensure the server is online:** Check the Nodecraft dashboard to confirm that your ETS2 server is running and fully initialized.
- **Check your game version:** Your client version must match the server version. Update your game or server if necessary.
- **Firewall or NAT issues:** If you or your players can’t connect, ensure required ports are open on your network and firewall.
- **Server visibility settings:** If your convoy is set to *Private*, only players with the exact Session ID will be able to join.
- **Restart the game and server:** Sometimes reinitializing both can refresh the session list and resolve temporary visibility issues.

## Conclusion

Joining your **Euro Truck Simulator 2** server is simple once you have your **Session Search ID**. Using this ID ensures a direct and reliable connection to your private or public convoy.

If connection issues arise, double-check your Session ID, game version, and server status. After verifying these, you and your friends will be cruising the highways together in no time!
