How to join an Enshrouded server
Join an Enshrouded dedicated server through Play → Join using the server's address and query port. Enter the role password, favourite the server, and check filters if it is missing.
Join with the full server address and your assigned role password. On berrybyte, the owner copies Server address from Overview.
Join by address
Wait until the server is ready
The owner should wait for HostOnline in Console.
A running process can still be loading its world.
Open Play → Join
Launch Enshrouded, then choose Search by IPv4/Domain. Enter the full address, including the port.
Enter the role password
Use the password the owner gave you. Different passwords can grant different permissions on the same server.
Favourite the server
Use the star in the server browser so it is easier to find next time.
The port is the server's query port. Use the allocated address rather than
assuming 15637.
If the server is missing
Enable Show dedicated server in the browser filters. Clear filters that hide password-protected, empty, or nearly full servers.
You can also add the address through Steam → View → Game Servers →
Favorites. Keen's Favorites guide
uses the same IP:queryPort address.
If joining fails
| Problem | Check |
|---|---|
| Server is still loading | Wait for HostOnline |
| Version mismatch | Update both Steam client and dedicated server |
| Wrong password or permissions | Ask for the intended role password |
| Full server | Ask the owner to check slots and reserved role slots |
| Address cannot be found | Copy the host and port again; check browser filters |
Use connection troubleshooting if those checks do not resolve it.
For server owners
Share the address and a Friend or other suitable role password privately. Keep the Admin password separate. Server settings covers permissions.
These instructions cover the current PC client. Check current platform support before expecting a console client to join a PC dedicated server.
Frequently asked questions
Which Enshrouded port do I use to join?
Use the query port from your host's address. On berrybyte, copy the complete Server address from Overview. The self-hosted default is 15637, but a hosted allocation can differ.
Why can I join but not use chests or build?
Your role password controls your permissions. Ask the owner for the appropriate role; joining with a Guest or restricted role does not grant the same access as Friend or Admin.
