Enshrouded crashes opening the server browser (minidump fix)

Opening the multiplayer server-selection screen crashes Enshrouded outright — the game closes with an "Enshrouded.exe has crashed" or "MiniDump has been created" message instead of showing the server list.
Also appears as: enshrouded minidump error, enshrouded crash minidump, enshrouded crashing minidump, minidump has been created, enshrouded.exe has crashed, enshrouded crash dump error
Multiple outlets and Steam Discussions threads describe the same trigger: the crash happens specifically when the game tries to populate the server browser list, not during general gameplay. It's treated as a client-side stability bug rather than anything server-side, since it happens before any connection to a specific server is attempted. The most reliable workaround skips the broken screen entirely rather than fixing the underlying crash.
What to try
- 01Skip the in-game server browser: right-click the host's name in your Steam Friends list and choose "Join Game" instead of using Play > Join inside Enshrouded. This is the most consistently reported way to avoid the crash entirely.Reported
- 02Verify the integrity of Enshrouded's game files via Steam (right-click the game > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files), then relaunch.Reported
- 03Make sure you're on the latest patch — several reports describe this crash clearing after downloading a subsequent update, suggesting it was at least partly addressed server-list-side in a patch rather than needing a client change.Unconfirmed
- 04If it persists, try lowering in-game graphics settings before opening the server list; a subset of players report fewer crashes at low/medium settings, though this isn't a confirmed fix.Unconfirmed
