Can't find specific servers

[HamHammer]

So first of all, I tried the tricks in the Common Fixes for Common Problems post and followed some tips that worked for some people on the same server.

I started playing on the server Silver Falcon on my first day. The next day I had to wiggle around with the refresh button a few times and each day after it wa getting worse and worse. And since today I'm completely unable find the server in the server browser.

Before it was enough to enter Silver in the Name and Survival on the type. After that I had to untick/tick hide empty servers or other mumbojumbo. But as I said, no luck anymore. The only thing that works for me is when a Steam Friend is already on the server, Then I can join through steams option to join your friends games.

This reached a pretty frustrating level now. :/

Any hints?

Wow I just saw that it postet my specs in german on default...
Fixed that...

[HamHammer]

To make sure it's not a problem of this one Server I tried finding other specific servers.
With those it is also a 50/50 chance if I'm able to find them in one minute and won't be able to do so in the next 10 minutes after.

Tried with a simple reinstall but without any success.

[Rhapsody]

Having the same issue.
Sooooooooo, I tried not even searching for a specific server though. At this point nothing pops up at all so you're not alone on that.

My apologies for the late reply.

Try this:

Please reset your system’s Winsock connection settings by opening a Windows command prompt as administrator (go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories, right-click on “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”) and entering “netsh winsock reset" (without the quotes). Reboot your computer and check if your problem is fixed now.

If you're a Windows 10 user simply type "CMD" into the search bar at the bottom left, right click "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator", then continue following the instructions above.

Hey! No worries, as long as I'm getting help it doesn't mater how fast. You sure got a bunch of issues to deal with.

Followed your instructions and did execute the cmd with run as administrator and restartet the PC. But sadly no victory. Again all I could find was the empty Silversakura server I never played on.

Bumping for safety

What anti-virus/firewall programs do you use?

[HamHammer]

Hi Punch,

I'm using norton security.
I switched to run the isle as administrator and added a firewall exception for the isle as well already. Do you still have any ideas left?^^°
For whatever reason my PC seems to be the perfect QA PC for falling victim to bugs when it comes to the isle.

Try this:

- Adjust your Steam In-Game server browser: Max pings / minutes.
At the top left of Steam you’ll see a little button labeled “Steam”, left click that and select settings > in-game > and adjust the dropdown menu at the bottom to around 1000. You may need to tinker around and find the magic number that works for you, afterwards simply hit ok and launch The Isle.

I did that already a few times but it finaly seems to have worked 1500 was the magic number.
Thanks a lot for your time and effort! I really apreciate your work!

Happy to help. Feel free to add me on Steam/Discord if you ever need help or have questions. It's much easier to solve problems such as this through live messaging.
