How to Connect to Your BeamMP Server

Last updated: September 18, 2026

This guide shows you how to join your BeamMP server. BeamMP adds multiplayer to BeamNG.drive, so you need a legitimate Steam copy of the game plus the free BeamMP client installed.

Step 1: Install the BeamMP Client

  1. Download the client from beammp.com.
  2. Extract BeamMP_Installer.zip and run BeamMP_Installer.exe.
  3. A BeamMP-Launcher shortcut is placed on your desktop. Always start the game through the launcher, not directly through Steam.
Tip: Keep the launcher's terminal window open while you play. Closing it disconnects you from the server.

Step 2: Find Your Server Address

Log in to the NolimitHost Game Panel and select your BeamMP server. Your server IP and port are shown on the Dashboard. The default BeamMP port is 30814.

Step 3: Connect

Using the server browser

  1. Launch BeamMP and, in the game's main menu, click Multiplayer.
  2. Sign in with your BeamMP account, or choose Play as Guest if your server allows guests.
  3. Search the server list for your server name and click Connect.

Using Direct Connect

  1. In the Multiplayer menu, open the Direct Connect tab.
  2. Enter your address in IP:Port format, for example 123.456.78.90:30814.
  3. Click Connect.
Note: If your server is set to Private = true in ServerConfig.toml, it is hidden from the server list and can only be joined with Direct Connect. If the server runs on the same PC as the game, use 127.0.0.1 as the address.

After You Join

You spawn at the map's default location. Press Esc to open the menu and spawn a vehicle. Any vehicle or map mods the server uses are downloaded automatically the first time you connect.

Troubleshooting

Problem Fix
