# Joining someone's DorkNet server
|
|
|
|
> Built for players whose friend already runs a server and gave them a
|
|
> code. If you want to *host* instead, see [easy-setup.md](easy-setup.md).
|
|
|
|
## What you'll need
|
|
|
|
- A Windows PC
|
|
- A copy of **Rec Room 2020.03.10** (your own — see
|
|
[Getting the 2020 client](easy-setup.md#getting-the-2020-client))
|
|
- The join code your friend gave you (looks like `dorknet://join?...`)
|
|
- About 2 minutes
|
|
|
|
## Step 1 — Download DorkNet
|
|
|
|
Grab `dorknet.exe` from the [latest release](https://github.com/YOUR_GH_USERNAME/dorknet/releases/latest).
|
|
|
|
## Step 2 — First launch
|
|
|
|
On the welcome screen, click **🎮 Join a server**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 3 — Paste the join code
|
|
|
|
Your friend's code goes in the big text box. DorkNet decodes it and shows
|
|
you what you're about to connect to so you can sanity-check:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure the server name matches what your friend told you. Codes from
|
|
strangers can point anywhere — only paste codes from people you trust.
|
|
|
|
## Step 4 — Patch your Rec Room install
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Browse for Rec Room install...** — point at the folder with
|
|
`Recroom_Release.exe`.
|
|
2. Click **Patch & launch**.
|
|
|
|
DorkNet patches the game (one-time), then launches it pointed at your
|
|
friend's server. You'll see the normal Rec Room login screen, log in with
|
|
the account you made on your friend's server, and you're in.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## I already patched for a different server. Can I switch?
|
|
|
|
Yes — DorkNet's patcher is reversible. Click **Repair / unpatch** in the
|
|
Patch tab to undo, then re-patch with a new join code. Or just re-run
|
|
**Patch & launch** with the new code; the patcher detects an existing
|
|
patch and updates the destination.
|
|
|
|
## My account doesn't exist on the new server
|
|
|
|
Each DorkNet server runs its own account database. You'll need to create
|
|
a new account the first time you join a server. Your friend can sign you
|
|
up via their admin panel, or you can use the in-game "Create account"
|
|
flow if the server has signups enabled.
|
|
|
|
## Voice chat doesn't work
|
|
|
|
Voice routes through Photon Voice, which requires a separate Photon Voice
|
|
AppId. If your friend hasn't set one up, voice chat is text-only for now.
