Play online: a tour of the ONLINE menu

RaveM is installed. This page walks through the ONLINE menu: finding a match, hosting one, the lobby, voting, voice chat and every default key.

Open ONLINE

From Ravenfield's main menu, open PLAY > ONLINE. Three tabs run along the top: SERVER BROWSER, HOST GAME and PREFERENCES. Inside a lobby they become LOBBY, VOTE and PREFERENCES. The label at the top right always shows the RaveM version you're running.

These screenshots were taken with RaveM 1.5.2. In 1.7.1 the version label in the top-right corner reads RaveM 1.7.1. SERVER BROWSER has a DIRECT CONNECT button at the bottom for LAN games, MODE OPTIONS now also lists RaveM's own killcam, spawning, match and ballistics options after the game mode's, and PREFERENCES has a fourth page, KILLCAM & SPAWNING.

Join a match

RaveM SERVER BROWSER tab: search box, IN PROGRESS: SHOW, FULL: SHOW and LOCKED: SHOW filters, REFRESH button, columns LOBBY, HOST, MAP, MODE, PLAYERS, BOTS and STATUS, and a JOIN button. Version label at top right reads RaveM 1.5.2 by StixsworldHD (StixsmasterHD4k). — SERVER BROWSER. The version label at the top right confirms which RaveM build is loaded.

SERVER BROWSER lists the RaveM lobbies Steam returns. Search by lobby name, host or map. The three filters show or hide matches IN PROGRESS, FULL lobbies and LOCKED (password-protected) lobbies. REFRESH reloads the list, which also refreshes itself every 15 seconds while it's open.

To join, double-click a lobby, or select it and press JOIN. A locked lobby asks for its password. Steam invites work too: accept a friend's invite, or join them through the Steam overlay.

LAN games (since 1.7.0) appear in the same list, marked [LAN] with their ping, while the browser probes your network every 3 seconds. DIRECT CONNECT at the bottom joins any address: an IP, a host name, ip:port or [IPv6]:port, plus the password if there is one. The last 8 addresses are remembered. How LAN play works.

STATUS	What it means
IN LOBBY	Waiting in the lobby. Join now.
IN PROGRESS - JOIN	The match is running and the host allows joining: you load the map and spawn like everyone else.
IN PROGRESS	The match is running and the host doesn't allow joining. It becomes joinable when the host returns to the lobby.
FULL	No free player slots.
VERSION	The lobby runs a different RaveM protocol and can't be joined. Everyone needs RaveM 1.7.1.

Missing maps or mods

If a lobby uses a Steam Workshop map or mods you don't have, RaveM's Workshop window opens before you connect. It lists each item with a link to its Workshop page and a one-click GET that downloads it at high priority (GET ALL takes everything). Wait until every row says Downloaded, restart Ravenfield, then join again: Ravenfield only loads new Workshop content when it starts. JOIN ANYWAY continues without them. In a lobby, MISSING CONTENT opens the same window.

Host a match

Open HOST GAME, set up its five tabs, then press CREATE LOBBY. A progress box turns into your lobby once it's ready.

GENERAL

Lobby name, an optional password, visibility (PUBLIC, FRIENDS ONLY, INVITE ONLY or LAN (NO STEAM LOBBY)), max players from 2 to 250, map, game mode, bots for each team (EAGLE BOTS, RAVEN BOTS), respawn time, game length and night mode. Hold Shift on the arrows to change numbers by 10. The panel on the right shows the map and its suggested bot count.

With LAN (NO STEAM LOBBY) the game runs over your network instead of Steam: it listens on UDP port 48780, and the lobby's LAN ADDRESS button, in place of INVITE FRIENDS, shows this PC's addresses for DIRECT CONNECT. The first time, Windows may ask whether to allow Ravenfield through its firewall: allow it on private networks, or no one can join.

RULES

Rule	Default	What it does
JOIN IN PROGRESS	ON	Players can join a match that is already running. They load the map, get the full match state and spawn normally.
AUTO BALANCE	ON	New players go to the team with fewer players. It wins over a player's PREFERRED TEAM.
TEAM SWITCH	ON	Players may switch team in the lobby.
REQUIRE READY	OFF	START MATCH waits until every player has pressed READY.
BOT SKILL	VANILLA MIX	Sets the skill of every bot: beginner, normal or veteran. VANILLA MIX keeps Ravenfield's own mix.
ALL WEAPONS	OFF	Every weapon can be picked in loadouts.
MAX PING	OFF	Players above this ping for 15 seconds are kicked.
MAP CYCLE	OFF	Matches follow your MAP CYCLE tab in order instead of the single map.
AUTO NEXT MAP	15 s	With MAP CYCLE on, the next map loads this many seconds after a match ends, whichever team won. 0 = the host decides.
VOICE CHAT	ON	Proximity voice chat in your lobby.

ENEMIES HEAR YOU	ON	Off: proximity voice only reaches your own team.
LOBBY VOICE	ON	Everyone in the lobby hears everyone before the match.
AUTO START WHEN READY	OFF	The match starts 5 seconds after every player is READY. Needs at least one other player; anyone un-readying or joining stops the countdown.

The screenshot shows a host who changed MAP CYCLE and AUTO START WHEN READY from their defaults. Your rules are kept as your host defaults.

MODE OPTIONS

Settings for the chosen game mode, read from the mode itself, so modded game modes get their options too. Switch modes with the arrows beside OPTIONS FOR; RESET TO DEFAULTS restores the mode's own values.

Since 1.6.0, every game mode also gets options of RaveM's own after its own options: 25 in four groups as of 1.7.1. The screenshot above shows 1.5.2, from before they were added. They're stored per game mode, saved as that mode's options and sent to every player with the match, and RESET TO DEFAULTS resets them too.

KILLCAM	BULLET TRACERS	ON	Tracers for every gun, mortar and tank shot.
SPAWNING	AUTO SPAWN	OFF	RaveM presses DEPLOY for dead players.
SPAWNING	AUTO SPAWN AFTER	3 s	How long a player is dead before that, 1 to 30 s.
SPAWNING	WAIT FOR THE KILLCAM	ON	Auto spawn also waits until the player's killcam is over.
MATCH	HALLOWEEN MODE	OFF	Ravenfield's own Halloween match parameter.
BALLISTICS	BALLISTICS	ON	The master switch. OFF = vanilla projectiles and vanilla bot aim for everyone.
BALLISTICS	AIR DRAG	1.0x	Slows fast projectiles over distance, 0 to 5x in 0.5 steps; OFF = no drag.
BALLISTICS	DRAG ON PROJECTILES FASTER THAN	120 m/s	Only faster projectiles get drag and wind (bullets, not thrown objects).
BALLISTICS	WIND	0.8 m/s	Crosswind strength, 0 to 10 m/s; OFF = no wind.
BALLISTICS	WIND BLOWS TOWARD	45 deg	0 = the map's +Z axis, 90 = +X, in 15-degree steps.

BALLISTICS	BOT AIM SKILL	85 %	How closely bots follow the perfect solution.
BALLISTICS	BOTS LEAD MOVING TARGETS	ON	Bots aim ahead of a moving target by the projectile's travel time.

How killcams work, what auto spawn does and how ballistics work are on the Features page. Every BALLISTICS default equals the settings file's old one.

MAP CYCLE

The left list shows every installed map, with ALL, OFFICIAL, WORKSHOP and LOCAL MODS filters and a search box; ADD puts a map in the cycle. Each entry on the right has its own game mode and DAY or night setting, UP and DN reorder it and X removes it. Type a name and press SAVE to keep the cycle; LOAD brings a saved one back and CLEAR empties the list. Adding the first map switches the MAP CYCLE rule on for you.

When a match ends, the host gets NEXT MAP, or the next map loads by itself after the AUTO NEXT MAP countdown. With VOTE AT MATCH END on, a vote decides instead.

VOTING

Rule	Default	What it does
VOTE ON	MAP & MODE	What players vote on: MAP, GAME MODE, MAP & MODE (two ballots) or MAP + MODE PAIRS (one ballot). OFF turns voting off.
VOTE IN LOBBY	ON	The host can start a vote from the lobby's VOTE tab.
VOTE AT MATCH END	ON	A vote opens whenever a match ends, after a victory or a defeat, and the winner loads for everyone. Takes over from AUTO NEXT MAP. If nobody votes, the next MAP CYCLE map loads.

SKIP RECENT MAPS	2	Recently played maps left out, 0 to 5.
RANDOM MAP OPTION	ON	Adds RANDOM MAP: a pool map that wasn't listed.
PLAY AGAIN OPTION	ON	Adds PLAY AGAIN (the map just played) to end-of-match votes.
TIE BREAK	RUNOFF VOTE	RUNOFF VOTE between the tied options (once, then random), RANDOM, HOST DECIDES (20 s, then random) or FIRST LISTED. A vote with no votes at all is not a tie (see When nobody votes).
END EARLY	ON	Closes the vote as soon as everyone has voted.
CHANGE VOTE	ON	Players may change or take back their vote until it closes.
LIVE RESULTS	ON	Shows the counts while voting. Off: revealed when the vote closes.
NOMINATIONS / PLAYER	1	Maps each player may nominate, 0 to 3. Nominated maps are offered first.
ROCK THE VOTE	ON	Players can ask for a map change during a match. Enough requests start a vote with KEEP PLAYING.
RTV NEEDS	60 % of players	Share of players needed to start a rock-the-vote, 10 to 100 %.
RTV OPENS AFTER	60 s	Seconds into a match before rock the vote opens, 0 to 900.
RTV CHANGES MAP	RIGHT AWAY	RIGHT AWAY, or AT MATCH END.
ONLY MAPS ALL HAVE	ON	Options some players don't have are marked and can't win.
SCRIPTED MAPS	OFF	Includes maps that bring their own game mode (they may ignore the voted mode).
MODES IN VOTES	all ON	One switch per game mode. At least 2 stay on.

Offered maps follow Ravenfield's own Instant Action rules: maps hidden from Instant Action are never offered. Every player's game reports the offered maps it lacks, and each option shows how many players are missing it.

When nobody votes

A vote that closes without a single vote isn't a tie. This applies to every vote: at the end of a match, in the lobby and after rock the vote.

The next map in the host's MAP CYCLE list wins, with that entry's game mode and day or night setting, and the cycle carries on from there. Maps the host doesn't have are skipped, and the list is used even when the MAP CYCLE rule is off.
Without a cycle list, a real map from the ballot wins: the first one listed when TIE BREAK is FIRST LISTED, otherwise a random one. It's never KEEP PLAYING or PLAY AGAIN.

As soon as one player votes, the most votes win and ties follow TIE BREAK.

In the lobby

A RaveM lobby named StixsmasterHD4k's RaveM match: Island, BATTLE, bots 100 vs 100, players 1 of 250, the host on team EAGLE, an empty RAVEN list, lobby chat, and SWITCH TEAM, START MATCH, EDIT SETTINGS, INVITE FRIENDS and CLOSE LOBBY buttons. — The lobby seen by the host. The rules line under the title summarises every setting players care about.

The line under the lobby name repeats the match (map, mode, bots per team and players), then the rules in short.

Teams. The EAGLE and RAVEN lists show who's where. SWITCH TEAM moves you when the host allows it.
READY. Players press READY when they're set; the host is always ready. A counter under INVITE FRIENDS shows something like READY 3/5 and who is still missing. If you don't have the lobby's map, the button reads GET THE MAP FIRST.
Host buttons. START MATCH (it reads WAITING FOR READY while REQUIRE READY holds it), EDIT SETTINGS, INVITE FRIENDS (LAN ADDRESS in a LAN game), KICK on a player's row and CLOSE LOBBY.
Muting. Each player row has MUTE, which only affects you. The host also has SILENCE: nobody hears that player.
Lobby chat. U talks to everyone, J to your team. Send with Tab or the arrow button.
Loading together. The match starts for everyone once all players have loaded, or after a time limit (120 s by default). A banner shows who's still loading. Late joiners drop straight in.

Steam overlay window titled Choose Friend to Invite, opened from the lobby's INVITE FRIENDS button. The friend names are blurred. — INVITE FRIENDS opens Steam's own invite list (names blurred here for privacy).

INVITE FRIENDS opens Steam's own invite list. Friends can also join you from the Steam overlay.

The VOTE tab

The lobby VOTE tab showing NO VOTE RUNNING, a summary of the vote rules, and START VOTE and NOMINATE buttons. — The lobby's VOTE tab. START VOTE (host) opens a vote; NOMINATE suggests a map for the next one.

The host's START VOTE opens a vote straight away. NOMINATE opens a searchable map list (pick a mode too for MAP + MODE PAIRS votes), and WITHDRAW takes your nomination back. During a vote, click an option to vote and click it again to take the vote back. The winner becomes the lobby's map and mode for the next START MATCH. If nobody votes, the next MAP CYCLE map wins (see When nobody votes).

In a match

Player list and stats. Hold P for every player with their ping (up to 6 columns in big lobbies). Insert toggles network statistics.
Voting mid-match. K opens the vote window; click to vote, then K or Esc closes it. While it's open your clicks never reach the game. ROCK THE VOTE in that window, or typing !rtv, asks for a map change.
Pausing doesn't stop the match online. The host's RESTART takes everyone back to the lobby.
Killcams. When someone kills you, you watch the last seconds before your death from your killer's side, then your fall, if the host's MODE OPTIONS have KILLCAM on. Backspace skips it when the host allows; Fire respawns you as usual and never skips, and respawning ends the killcam.
Auto spawn. With the host's AUTO SPAWN on, RaveM presses DEPLOY for you after AUTO SPAWN AFTER and, with WAIT FOR THE KILLCAM, once your killcam is over. The game then spawns you in its next spawn wave (every RESPAWN TIME, once you've been dead for more than 6 s); its own "SPAWNING AT" countdown shows when. Auto spawn makes sure a spawn point your team owns is selected, and opens the deploy screen if your team owns none. Your first loadout of the match is still your choice, and USE AUTO SPAWN in PREFERENCES lets you opt out.
End of the match. Whichever team wins, the host gets NEXT MAP (or PLAY AGAIN without a cycle) and RETURN TO LOBBY. With VOTE AT MATCH END on, everyone votes on the next map instead; otherwise AUTO NEXT MAP loads it after its countdown. With FINAL KILLCAM AT MATCH END on, everyone also sees the match's last kill.
Spec Ops and Haunted. Online, one player's death doesn't end the mission: the fallen stay down and watch their killcam, and when the last player is down the mission fails for everyone, with the final killcam and the vote. Surviving every Haunted wave ends the same way.

Keys and chat commands

Key	What it does
`U`	Chat to everyone
`J`	Chat to your team
`Tab` or the arrow button	Send the message you're typing (Enter only with ENTER ALSO SENDS on)
`Esc`	Cancel typing
Hold `P`	Player list with pings
`Insert`	Network statistics overlay
`K`	Vote window during a match
Hold `H`	Talk to players near you (and on your vehicle's intercom)
Hold `	Team radio. It's the BackQuote key, above Tab.
`Backspace`	Skip the killcam, when the host allows it

None of these are Ravenfield controls. At startup, and whenever you save new controls in Ravenfield's options, RaveM compares its keys with your own Ravenfield bindings and moves any key that clashes to a free one, with a message on screen. Typing in chat never moves your soldier or opens your mic.

Chat commands

Type in chat	Who	What it does
`!rtv`	Everyone	Ask for a map change (rock the vote). `rtv` and `rockthevote` work too.
`!nominate <map> [mode]`	Everyone	Nominate a map, for example `!nominate river delta point match`. Part of a name is enough.
`!unnominate`	Everyone	Take your nomination back
`!vote <n> [n]`	Everyone	Vote by the option numbers shown in the list
`!votes` `!nextmap` `!votehelp`	Everyone	Vote status, the next map, and the list of vote commands
`/mute name` `/unmute name` `/mutes`	Everyone	Your own voice mutes. They stay on your PC.
`/volume name 150`	Everyone	One player's voice volume, 0 to 200 % (`/vol` works too)
`/silence name` `/unsilence name`	Host	Nobody hears that player; everyone sees MUTED next to their name

Vote commands are handled by the host and aren't shown as chat. Voice commands also work with ! instead of /, and are never sent as chat.

Your preferences

RaveM PERSONAL PREFERENCES page: player name, preferred team, chat settings and keys on the left; cursor while typing, player list key, net stats, name tags, overlay scale, smoothing delay, extrapolation, move send rate, browser refresh, ballistics offline and verbose log on the right. — PREFERENCES, general page. Changes save instantly to BepInEx/config/com.stixsworldhd.ravem.cfg.

PREFERENCES only affect you and save instantly to com.stixsworldhd.ravem.cfg. You can also open them from a lobby. The button at the bottom cycles through the four pages: general, VOICE CHAT SETTINGS, PLAYER VOICES and KILLCAM & SPAWNING.

Setting	Default	What it does
PLAYER NAME	Your Steam name	The name other players see. Leave it empty to use your Steam name.
PREFERRED TEAM	AUTO	The team you ask for: AUTO, EAGLE or RAVEN. The host's AUTO BALANCE wins.
CHAT	ON	Text chat in lobbies and matches.
CHAT KEY, TEAM CHAT KEY, SEND KEY	U, J, TAB	Click a key box, then press the new key. Keys Ravenfield uses are refused.
ENTER ALSO SENDS	OFF	Off by default because Enter is Ravenfield's Open Loadout key.
CHAT POSITION, CHAT X, CHAT Y	BOTTOM LEFT, 2 %, 18 %	Nine one-click presets, then fine placement as a share of the free screen space. Previewed live.
CHAT BOX SIZE, CHAT TEXT SIZE	5.0, 18 px @1080p	Box size, and text size in pixels at 1080p. Both scale with your resolution.
CHAT POP-UP TIME	10 s	How long the chat pops up when anyone sends a message, 0 to 60 s. 0 = only when you open it.
CURSOR WHILE TYPING	ON	Shows the mouse while you type, so you can click the send arrow.
PLAYER LIST KEY, NET STATS KEY	P, INSERT	Hold P for the player list with pings; Insert toggles the network stats overlay.
NET STATS AT START	OFF	Shows the network stats overlay automatically in matches.
NAME TAGS, NAME TAG RANGE	ON, 250 m	Team-coloured tags above other human players, hidden beyond the range.
OVERLAY SCALE	1.0x	Size of RaveM's in-game overlays, 0.5 to 2.0.
SMOOTHING DELAY	100 ms	How far in the past other soldiers are drawn so their movement stays smooth, 0 to 500 ms. Lower is more up to date but jittery on bad connections.
EXTRAPOLATION	250 ms	How long a soldier keeps moving on its last known speed when packets stop arriving, 0 to 1000 ms.
MOVE SEND RATE	30 /s	How many times per second your movement is sent to the host, 5 to 60.
BROWSER REFRESH	15 s	The server browser refreshes itself this often while open, 0 to 120 s. 0 = off.
BALLISTICS OFFLINE	OFF	Also use RaveM's bullet physics (air drag, wind) in offline Instant Action and Campaign.
VERBOSE LOG	OFF	Writes detailed network diagnostics to BepInEx\LogOutput.log.

KILLCAM & SPAWNING

The fourth PREFERENCES page, added in 1.6.0, controls the killcams on your own screen. The host's MODE OPTIONS decide whether there are killcams at all.

Setting	Default	What it does
SHOW KILLCAMS	ON	Show killcams and the final killcam, when the host's MODE OPTIONS allow them.
MY KILLCAM CAMERA	KILLER'S EYES	Your camera when the host leaves the choice to players: KILLER'S EYES, OVER THE SHOULDER or CINEMATIC.
SKIP KILLCAM KEY	Backspace	Skips a killcam when the host allows it. Fire never skips, because Ravenfield respawns you with it.
KILLCAM HUD	ON	The killcam panel on the right (KILLCAM, the killer, weapon, distance, health, camera) and the progress bar.
RECORDING RATE	20 fps	How often soldiers and vehicles are recorded for killcams, 10 to 30. Smoother replays cost a little more CPU and memory.
RECORD SOLDIERS WITHIN	800 m	Farther soldiers keep their last recorded pose in killcams (100 to 5000 m).
KEEP ANIMATING WITHIN	250 m	Ravenfield stops animating AI soldiers nobody can see; within this distance RaveM keeps them animating while recording, so killers are never frozen (0 = the game's default).
SHOW SOLDIERS WITHIN	150 m	Soldiers and vehicles this close to the killer or the victim appear in the killcam (25 to 2000 m).
MUTE BATTLE SOUND	ON	Silences the live battle while a killcam plays; voice chat keeps playing.
USE AUTO SPAWN	ON	Follow the host's AUTO SPAWN. Off: you always deploy yourself.

Voice chat

Your microphone is Steam's: choose the device and its volume in Steam > Settings > Voice. Everything else lives under PREFERENCES > VOICE CHAT SETTINGS.

Talking. Hold H and players within the host's VOICE RANGE hear you from where you stand; walls and hills muffle you. Hold ` and your whole team hears you on the radio. In a vehicle, everyone aboard hears each other on the intercom. In the lobby, everyone hears everyone.
TALK MODE: HOLD TO TALK, TOGGLE TO TALK (press once to start, again to stop) or OPEN MIC, which sends you whenever you're louder than OPEN MIC LEVEL.
Setting up your mic. YOUR MIC shows a live level meter. MIC TEST plays your own voice back, and switches off by itself when a match starts. For open mic, press AUTO-SET and talk normally for 4 seconds: RaveM sets OPEN MIC LEVEL just below your quietest speech.
What you hear. VOICE VOLUME plus your own mix of NEARBY VOICES, TEAM RADIO VOLUME, VEHICLE INTERCOM and LOBBY VOICES (each 0 to 200 %). RADIO EFFECTS, WALLS MUFFLE VOICES and 3D DIRECTION switch the sound effects; MAX VOICES HEARD (8) and VOICE BUFFER (80 ms) handle crowds and bad connections.
Filters. HEAR ENEMIES, HEAR DEAD PLAYERS, ONLY STEAM FRIENDS and MUTE STEAM-BLOCKED (on by default: you never hear players you blocked on Steam).
On screen. TALKING LIST ON HUD, MIC INDICATOR ON HUD and TALKING MARKS ON NAMES switch each element separately.

RaveM PLAYER VOICES page, empty outside a lobby, with RESET PLAYER VOLUMES and UNMUTE EVERYONE buttons. — PLAYER VOICES fills with the other players once you are in a lobby. Settings are remembered per Steam account.

PLAYER VOICES lists every other player in your lobby with their team colour, a volume control (− and +, 10 % steps, Shift for 50 %) and MUTE. RESET PLAYER VOLUMES and UNMUTE EVERYONE reset all of them. Your choices are remembered by Steam account, so they apply again the next time you meet that player.

Good to know

How all of this works behind the menus, with every number and setting, is on the Features page.

If the host quits, the match ends for everyone. There's no host migration.
Voice goes through the host, which relays it to the players the rules allow. The host's upload grows with the number of people talking at once.
For big lobbies, set HostUploadMbps in the [2. Network] section of the settings file to about 70 % of your real upload speed (default 25). In a match, Insert shows the per-player budget; if Send failures rises above 0, lower it.
Workshop content you download while Ravenfield runs only loads after a restart.
Voice has its own VOICE VOLUME. Ravenfield's volume sliders don't change it, and it plays in stereo.
