I can see you're in a hurry to get back into the server, so I've been as fast as possible with this answer! Unfortunately, I might not be able to help you get back in today. But here's how we can be prepared for when this happens again.

It's important to know that in this case you cannot join via the Steam friends list. It won't work. That's because when your friend is shown as in-game on Steam, the context options in the friends list will relate to only the game shown.

You need a different way to connect to your friend's Terraria server, and we're going to do this with their IP address. This is a bit like an internet phone number, and it will point your game straight to theirs. To get your friend's IP address, ask them to go to www.whatismyip.com. Now your friend just needs to tell you what the numbers are after it says "My Public IPv4". If there's any trouble finding the right one, look for four sets of numberslook for four sets of numbers separated by dots separated by dots, like this: "000.000.000.000"000.000.000.000.

Now we're ready for the easy part!Now for the easy part! Here's what to do when you want to connect:

  • Open Terraria
  • Click "Multiplayer"
  • Select "Join via IP"
  • Type your friend's IP Address and press "Accept"
  • Type in the server password and press accept. Hopefully you still remember this. If not, then just ask your friend in advance

Optional Extra: If it's not working yet or you get an error, try adding ":7777":7777 to the end of the IP Address. After, the IP Address should look like this: "000.000.000.000:7777"000.000.000.000:7777. Of course, make sure to use your friend's IP instead of all zeros!

That's it, hopefully you're now connected and ready to go! Just be sure to apologise for being late.
