How to Enable the Queue System on Your The Isle Evrima Server
Enable the join queue on your The Isle Evrima dedicated server so players hitting a full server are queued instead of disconnected.
By default, when a player tries to join a full Evrima server, they get instantly disconnected with no feedback. The queue system lets them sit in a virtual line until a slot opens. On XGamingServer, the queue is already enabled by default with a dedicated queue port allocated for you.
Verify the Queue Is On
In the XGamingServer Panel, open Startup. Look for two settings:
| Variable | Default | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| ENABLE QUEUE | On | Master toggle for the queue system |
| QUEUE PORT | 2466 | Queue port (auto-assigned per server) |
The Queue Port is unique to your server instance — don't change it unless support tells you to.
Open TheIsle/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini in Files. Under [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]:
[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]
bQueueEnabled=true
QueuePort=2466The actual port number on your server is whatever appears in the Startup tab — it varies by instance. The default 2466 is XGamingServer's typical first allocation but it's not guaranteed.
Disable the Queue
Stop the server.
In Startup, toggle ENABLE QUEUE off (grey).
Or edit Game.ini and set bQueueEnabled=false.
Start the server. Players hitting a full server will now be disconnected immediately instead of queued.
How Players Experience the Queue
When the server is full:
- Player clicks Join in the server browser
- Their client connects to the queue port instead of being kicked
- They see a "Queued — position X" message
- When a slot opens (someone disconnects, dies and gives up character, etc.), the next person in queue is promoted automatically
If the player closes their game while queued, they lose their position.
VIP Queue Bypass
VIPs configured in [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase] skip the queue entirely. They can join even when the server is full, taking the first available slot. See VIP Setup.
Required Ports
When the queue is enabled, the server listens on a second port for queued connections (TCP). XGamingServer allocates this port for you automatically — no firewall changes needed on your end.
| Port | Protocol | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
QueuePort (varies, typically 2466) | TCP | Queued players connect here while waiting for a slot |
