Common Connectivity Blockers
1. The Name Length Restriction
Valve’s server indexing system has strict limits on hostname string length.- Problem: A name that is too short (under 4 chars) or too long (over 30 chars) may fail to register.
- Fix: Keep your server name between 5 and 25 characters and avoid emojis.
2. Version Mismatch (Steam Update)
Enshrouded updates frequently during its Early Access phase. If your local game has updated but the server has not, you will receive a “Version Mismatch” error.- Fix: Access your FREAKHOSTING panel and click Update to trigger the SteamCMD validation process.
3. UDP Port Propagation
Enshrouded relies on two distinct ports: the Game Port (15636) and the Query Port (15637).- Note: FREAKHOSTING handles these automatically. If you manually change ports, ensure they are allowed through any external firewalls and are consistently mapped.
