The Isle Evrima Server Not Showing in Server List — How to Fix It

Your The Isle Evrima server is running but it’s nowhere to be found in the server browser. This is one of the most common issues server owners run into — and it’s almost always fixable. Here are all the causes and fixes, in order of likelihood.

Fix 1: Just Wait (Most Common Cause)

After a server restart, it takes 2–5 minutes for it to register and appear in the Evrima server browser. If you just restarted, wait a few minutes and refresh the list before doing anything else.

Fix 2: Use Direct Connect Instead

The server browser can be slow or unreliable. Direct connect bypasses it entirely and is actually the better way to join your own server.

1. In Steam, go to View → Game Servers
2. Click the Favorites tab
3. Click Add a Server and enter your server IP and port (e.g. 123.456.789.0:7777)
4. Click Connect

Your server IP and port are shown on your hosting panel dashboard.

Fix 3: Confirm the Server Is Actually Running

Open your panel’s Console tab. If the server crashed or failed to start, you’ll see the error there. Common startup failures include:

• Typo or invalid value in Game.ini
• Missing Engine.ini with Epic Online Services credentials
• Port conflict (another service using the same port)

Fix the error shown in the console, then restart your server.

Fix 4: Check Your Engine.ini

The Evrima server requires Epic Online Services credentials to register with the server list. Without them, the server starts but never appears publicly. Make sure your Engine.ini contains:

[EpicOnlineServices]
DedicatedServerClientId=xyza7891gk5PRo3J7G9puCJGFJjmEguW
DedicatedServerClientSecret=pKWl6t5i9NJK8gTpVlAxzENZ65P8hYzodV8Dqe5Rlc8

On managed hosting (like XGamingServer), this is already configured for you.

Fix 5: Check the QueryPort Setting

The QueryPort in your Game.ini must match the port shown in your hosting panel. If these don’t match, the server can’t be queried by the browser.

[/script/theisle.tigamesession]
QueryPort=7777

If you changed the default port, make sure both the panel and Game.ini are using the same value.

Fix 6: Check Your Server Name Is Set

A server without a name set may not appear or may be invisible in search. Make sure ServerName is set and unique:

[/script/theisle.tigamesession]
ServerName=My Evrima Server

Fix 7: Version Mismatch

If your server is on a different version than the game client, it won’t show up in the browser (the list filters by version automatically). Make sure:

• Your server is fully updated — on XGamingServer, stop and restart with auto-update enabled
• Your Steam client has updated The Isle — verify files in Steam if unsure
• Both are on the evrima beta branch

Still Not Showing?

If none of the above fixes work, the issue is likely with the EOS (Epic Online Services) registration taking longer than usual, or a temporary issue with The Isle’s server list backend. Try again after 15–30 minutes.

Using managed hosting eliminates most of these issues. XGamingServer The Isle Evrima hosting comes pre-configured with correct Engine.ini settings, correct port mapping, and automatic updates — so your server shows up in the browser from day one.
