How to fix Enshrouded’s Join Server crashing error

Many people can't get into online matches, and a fix is coming.

In Enshrouded, players trying to join online servers may face a MiniDump error. This error crashes the game and kicks you out. It’s a problem with the game itself, but the game developers have now pushed live a hotfix that should make the problem go away.

To fix the MiniDump error, simply close Enshrouded and download the latest game update, available as of 11:30am CT. Then, run the game normally an join any online session you want.

“The team has been made aware of a crash bug that occurs when clicking the ‘Join Server’ button in-game,” developers wrote on Enshrouded’s official Discord sever. “We are already working on a hotfix for this and will push it to Steam very soon. The game is still fully playable in private mode, so please use that for now.” There is no estimate time for when this issue will be fixed yet.

The game creators have said the MiniDump error in Enshrouded isn’t caused by players, so it’s best not to change any game settings or files I checked the game about 40 minutes after its release, and the issue was still there. After the hotfix, I was able to join online games normally.

If your game crashes or freezes for other reasons, it might not be the MiniDump error. Check if your computer’s drivers are updated and your internet connection is stable, as the problem might be on your side. But remember, it’s normal for new games like Enshrouded to have server problems at the start. So, you might just wait for the developers to announce more fixes and updates.

Keep in mind, that you could also look into creating your own dedicated Enshrouded server using a third-party hosting service (like Nitrado).
