Enshrouded dedicated server not showing up in the list (fix)
Written by

A dedicated Enshrouded server you're running or trying to join doesn't appear in the in-game server browser, even though it's running.
Also appears as: enshrouded dedicated server not showing up, server not appearing in browser, dedicated server not showing in list, can't find my server enshrouded, enshrouded server browser empty
Keen Games' own developer-authored "Known Issues" post on Steam Discussions names three specific causes for this, so this one is confirmed by the studio rather than pieced together from player reports: a version mismatch between the server and your client, a blocked query port (the developers specify it should be GamePort+1, open on both TCP and UDP), or simply not waiting long enough — the same post separately notes the server browser can take 1–2 minutes to fully populate because so many servers are active. A server that's genuinely up but unlisted is a discovery problem, not proof the server itself is down.
What to try
- 01Make sure the server and every connecting client are on the exact same game version — restart the dedicated server after any Enshrouded update before trying to find it.Confirmed
- 02Open the query port (GamePort+1) on both TCP and UDP in your router and firewall, in addition to the main game port — Keen Games' Known Issues post specifically calls this port out as commonly missed.Confirmed
- 03Wait 1–2 minutes after opening the server browser before assuming something's wrong — Keen Games notes the list is slow to populate given how many servers are currently active.Confirmed
- 04Add the server to your Steam favorites once you've found it once, so you don't have to wait for the full browser list to load again next time.Reported
