Can't find friends server

[Rydinsky]

My friend has a dedicated server set up on a separate PC but I cannot find it via searching (he's in Florida and I'm in the UK). I'm able to join it through friends if someone is in the server but I can't favourite it so I can join whenever I wish.

Same here... hope anybody can help to fix it

Same here. New installation also not working.

Same here, when either of us host the server doesn't show up.

So I host a server through G-portal. I can find the server just fine, my buddy can't. We search for the same thing. I get results, he doesn't. When I join the server it shows me on a server and only THEN he can join. He cannot favourite the server though....but he can favourite others.

He only live like a 5 km radius away. Only difference is our Network Provider, he's on Cable internet and I am on Fibe optics. That's the only main difference I can think off.

So yeah the server browser needs some work, direct IP connect would be grand. Being able to favourite when ON the server would also be grand.

Exact the same here, with a nitrado-server.
My friends only can find the server, if i am connected to the server!

Just rented one using G portal as wel. Can't find it in the server list. Can't direct connect with it using steams game server by adding favorites. Used the service for valheim and then it worked fine

5 bucks well spend....

Iam having the same problems with my server, i can join it, but only if i add it to steam server list and on the local ip, thats (fine) i had other games that dont like me to join to my local server over the internet, but my friend can only join if iam on, the funny thing is, if i logout when he is on, he can stay and play for as long as he wish ? i have open my ports in my pfsense router and even removed the windows firewall on the server but if i go to https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and check if my port is open it says 15636 and 15637 is closed ? its sooo wridet

We have seen this issue, where some people can see the server and some cant. Have your friend turn off invisibility on steam and you should be able to join then via his name, rather than the server name.

Just got a Nitrado server this morning. Three hours later and Steam still does not find my server. Is there a trick to this? Have stopped and started. Then restarted a few times. Still no joy. So any advice would be appreciated.

I run a private server and ran into this, I found a sequence to get the server added to favorites:

Open the Game Server window from Steam
Hit the plus at the bottom to enter the server IP manually including colon separated query port, default is 15637
Hit Connect and you should see a dialog with info about the server (if you don't then the further steps won't work, check the IP and port)
If the server is password protected you need to add something in the password box (it doesn't matter what)
Then hit Join Server which will launch the game, but not actually connect you to the server
However, now when selecting Join Game from the Play menu the server should be marked as a favorite and easy to join

So far this has worked for us.

if my friend do this is says Server can not be found even tho the ports are open, he can only join me clicking me on steam and join server.
Loserman what kind of hardware do you run your server on ? mine is on an older i7 6700 and i start to wonder if it have something to do with the hardware

He's not invisible on steam. It's more of the fact me and the others that use the server would want to join without the friend hosting the server having to quit whatever h'es doing just to launch enshrouded for a few seconds.

same

[slowfudfud]

this is the fix

found how to make it so u can get in server without friend present once you have been to it once

in steam go to top left corner
hit view
then game servers go to history or friends if someone is on
right click the server
click add to server favorites

[Drago]

This is not the fix. I have done it multiple times. I run multiple servers. It does not work on self hosted dedicated servers. They are trying to drive people g portal to pay for a server
