Enshrouded "Game Creation Failed" error (fix)

This is a server-side setup failure rather than an outage — it happens before any connection to Keen Games' backend is even involved. The best-corroborated cause is the server's enshrouded_server.json configuration file: changing an optional value in it (players report the server name or password both work) and restarting the server clears the error for most people, which points at a stale or corrupted config state rather than a real setting being wrong. A second reported cause is running the Enshrouded Dedicated Server tool from a desktop shortcut instead of its actual install folder, which can trigger a Windows permissions issue. Reports are mixed on how reliable the config-file fix is — some players say only the restart itself did anything, not the specific value changed.
