How to Quickly Find and Join Your Ark: Survival Evolved Server

To quickly find and join your Ark: Survival Evolved server, you can use a feature that is part of the Steam game launcher.

Go to the menu in the very upper left hand corner of the Steam window.

A small menu pops up, and click "servers" on that menu.

Shows the view dropdown of steam with Game Servers selected

This window below will appear. Click the + button near the lower right corner.

Shows the Steam Game Servers window with a red box around the add server button

That will make a smaller window appear, and enter the IP address of your server there, and save it.

If the server is running, it should now appear in the center section of the Steam server window.

Shows an example of added server to the Steam Game Servers window

Click on that server listing, and you can now join the server through Steam.
