How to connect to your Enshrouded server

This article covers joining your PlayNHost Enshrouded server and what to send to your group.

1. Find your server address

1. Log in to the Client Area at https://playnhost.com/billing and open your Enshrouded service.
2. Note the IP / Hostname and Port. Enshrouded uses 15636 for the game by default and a separate query port.

2. Start the server

1. Open the server in the Game Panel at https://panel.playnhost.com and click Start.
2. Watch the Console. The first start creates the world, which takes a few minutes.
3. Wait for the line reporting the server is online.

3. Join from the game

1. Launch Enshrouded and choose Play, then the multiplayer option.
2. Use the option to add or join a server by address.
3. Enter IP:Port from your panel.
4. Enter the password for the group you are joining as. Enshrouded uses one password per role, so the one you type decides whether you arrive as an admin, a friend or a guest.

4. What to give your group

• The IP:Port address.
• The friend or guest password, never the admin one.
• A note to be on the same game version, and restart the server from the panel after a game update.

5. If a player cannot get in

• Check the slot count in the server config. Enshrouded servers are sized in slots and a full server refuses new players.
• Check they are using the right port, not just the IP.
• Check the password matches the group they should be joining as.

Open a ticket from Support in the Client Area with your IP, port and the exact error if it continues.
