Enshrouded Server Not Listed
Troubleshooting
When your enshrouded server is not listed. That is does not show up in a server search, it is pretty normal. This is due to the way the server itself operates. There are a couple things you can do to fix this issue and get you and your friends playing Enshrouded.
First make sure you are using the default ports, this could be less of an issue in a couple months, but right now these are the best practices. (this requires you make sure those ports are open in your router, I always open a small range 15635-15640 upd and tcp separately I do not use the both option when it is available.)
For help with opening ports, start HERE.
Here is a quick checklist to verify.
- Make sure the server and game are both on the same versions. (Up To Date).
- Use the default ports
- Verify ports are open
- Use the tool to verify server is shown to steam Tool Here
- Allow Enshrouded though windows firewall
- Allow Enshrouded through windows defender/antivirus
- Add server to steam server favorite list.
Steam Server Query Tool
Second, Use the Steam Server Query Tool. When using the tool, it will show your main IP and the ports that the game is allowing through, if your server is listed this means it is on steam, you could still have something messed up though, but you are close. When you type your IP listed in the query tool into the “enter the IP address ” box, and it is being reported to steam it will show up as it does in the lower screenshot.
Steam Server Favorite List
Now we are going to add the game to your steam favorites so the server can be found in the list when you enter the game. Open your steam app, Go to view, toward the bottom Game Servers.
In the above window at the bottom is a plus button, click that to add your server window will popup Click the add button,
Type your server IP into this box NOT the IP listed on the Steam Server Query Tool. Make sure you add the port number after the IP.
Example 192.168.254.254:15636
You will find your server, and you should be able to join. If you have a password the window will flash and you will be required to put it in, after that when go to enshrouded your server will now show up at the top of the list as a favorite. You can have your friends join by sending them a link from the Steam Query Tool, they can also add the server to favorites the same way, or you can add them to your steam friends list.
