Technical Diagnostics: Monitoring Server Health

In the evolving environment of an Early Access title like Enshrouded, technical instabilities and unexpected process terminations can occasionally occur. When your server fails to initialize or crashes during active gameplay, the localized log files serve as your primary diagnostic resource. These records document every significant world event, authentication handshake, and fatal exception, providing the technical context required for precise troubleshooting. This guide walk you through the professional interpretation of your FREAKHOSTING log directory.

Accessing the Diagnostic Registry

Follow these steps to retrieve the historical records of your server’s operation.

Technical Error Interpretation

Below are the most common technical exceptions encountered by Enshrouded administrators and their corresponding resolution strategies.
Log SignatureRoot CauseStrategic Resolution
Steam Game Server Login failedAuthentication FailureRe-verify your GSLT Token within the Startup tab. Ensure the token has not been revoked by Valve.
Memory allocation failedResource SaturationYour world complexity has exceeded your assigned RAM. Consider a Plan Upgrade or clearing world voxel data.
Peer connection timeoutNetwork InstabilityConfirms a desynchronization between the client and server. Verify that both are running the same engine version.

​
Advanced Debugging Strategies

For immediate feedback, always use the Console tab within the Game Panel. This interface streams the most recent log output in real-time, allowing you to observe errors the instant they occur after clicking the Start button.
If the log indicates exceptionally long initialization times during the “Loading World” phase, audit the size of your /savegame/ directory. Voxel databases exceeding several hundred megabytes can trigger time-outs during the server’s pre-flight checks.
