Enshrouded crashes opening the server browser (minidump fix)
Written by

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.
Fix it, step by step
Join through the Steam Friends list instead of the server browser
Skip 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.
Verify the integrity of game files via Steam, then relaunch
Verify the integrity of Enshrouded's game files via Steam (right-click the game > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files), then relaunch.
Make sure you're on the latest patch
Make 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.
Lower in-game graphics settings before opening the server list
If 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.
Sorted. Glad that worked.
