Prerequisites
Please log in to the game panel. For login instructions to the game panel, see Game Panel Login and Feature Overview →Wait for Installation to Complete
Once you complete your application and the service status becomes active, the game server installation will begin automatically.During installation, the server console displays “Installation in progress” and most information will not be visible. This screen typically completes in a few minutes, but may take tens of minutes depending on server load or if installation files are large.Once the server installation is complete, you will receive an installation completion message at your registered email address from our game panel system.Confirm Server Address and Port
You can confirm your server address and game port from the server console screen in the game panel. The “Server Address” and “Port” values displayed on the right side of the screen are required when connecting from the game.Each item can be automatically copied by clicking.
Confirm/Change Server Password
You can confirm and change the server password from the “Startup” tab in the left menu of the game panel. Unlike previous versions, there is no need to directly edit theenshrouded_server.json file.Open the “Startup” tab and locate the “Server Password” item in the variables list.
An auto-generated password is pre-filled as the default value.If you want to change to a different password, simply edit the input box and it will be saved automatically.
Password changes take effect after restarting the server.
Start the Server
Click the “Start” button in the upper right of the server console screen to start the server.
Connect from Game Client
Launch “Enshrouded” from Steam and select “Multiplayer” from the main menu.
