1
Download the full game copy
Grab the prepared KSP package from the War Servers link, then extract it wherever you want on your PC. Run
launcher.exe from that folder.
2
Install CKAN into the KSP folder
Download CKAN, place it directly inside your KSP directory, then open CKAN and add your game folder under
File > Manage Game Instances > New Game Instance.
3
Update DarkMultiPlayer to 3.8.5
The full game copy includes DMP 3.8.3. That must be updated to
3.8.5 through CKAN before connecting.
4
Optional visual mods
The server build here uses
Astronomer’s Visual Pack and Parallax with dependencies for nicer visuals. Install those with CKAN if you want your client to match the hosted setup.
5
Connect to the server
In DarkMultiPlayer, connect to
warservers.org:6702. If you want to see what that screen should look like, click example. Once DMP is updated, the server should be reachable whenever the status badge on this page shows online.
Important: the downloadable copy is the full game, but the included DMP revision is older than the server requirement. The critical step is updating from
3.8.3 to 3.8.5 through CKAN before launch or connect.
