So, let’s get started!

Step 1: Registering for a Steam Account

The first step to hosting a Pavlov Shack server is to register for a Steam account. If you already have a Steam account, you can skip this step. If not, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Steam website and click on the “Join Steam” button.

2. Fill in your email address and create a password. Click on “Join Steam” again.

3. A verification code will be sent to your email. Enter the code on the Steam website to verify your account.

4. Your Steam account is now set up and ready to use.

Step 2: Installing Pavlov Shack

Now that you have a Steam account, the next step is to install Pavlov Shack on your computer. Follow the steps below:

1. Open Steam on your computer and log in to your account.

2. Click on the “Store” button and search for “Pavlov Shack”.

3. Click on “Add to Cart” and proceed to checkout. Don’t worry, Pavlov Shack is completely free!

4. Once the download is complete, Pavlov Shack will be added to your Steam library.

Step 3: Port Forwarding

Before you can host a Pavlov Shack server, you need to enable port forwarding on your router. This allows other players to connect to your server. Follow the steps below:

1. Open your router’s configuration page. To do this, open your web browser and enter your router’s IP address. This is usually something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.

2. Log in to your router. If you don’t know your router’s username and password, you can usually find them on the bottom of the router or in the manual.

3. Find the port forwarding section. This can usually be found in the “Advanced” or “Security” section of your router’s settings.

4. Create a new port forwarding rule for Pavlov Shack. The port you need to forward is 7777 for both TCP and UDP protocols.

5. Save your settings and exit the router configuration page.

Step 4: Setting Up the Server

Now that you’ve set up port forwarding, it’s time to set up the Pavlov Shack server. Follow the steps below:

1. Launch Pavlov Shack from your Steam library.

2. Click on the “Server Browser” button and select “Create Server”.

3. Enter a name for your server and choose a map.

4. Under the “Network” tab, enter your external IP address. You can find this by searching “What is my IP address” on Google.
