Here are common The Isle Evrima server issues and how to fix them.

Data Acquisition Failed

Firstly, double-check:

• That no antivirus or firewall software is interfering with The Isle Evrima.
• That your PC date and time is accurate.

Common Solutions:

• Restart your server for a fresh listing, wait a few minutes for it to fully register with EOS before attempting to connect. Then ensure to refresh the game browser, switching from Unofficial to Official and back, or simply clicking Refresh are two methods.
• Just keep clicking Connect. This error can be intermittent and normally resolves itself after a second, third, or even 10th attempt. No server modifications are required.
• Restart your Game/PC/Router.
• Wait a bit, and repeat these steps, the issue will normally resolve itself. EOS may be experiencing issues.

Server Not Appearing In The Server Browser

The Isle Evrima multiplayer uses EOS (Epic Online Services) for lobbies, as there's no direct connect option, whenever you browse the server listing your game queries the EOS server list to locate servers.

• Ensure that no antivirus or firewall software is interfering with The Isle Evrima.
• Ensure that your PC date and time is accurate.
• Refresh the server browser, one method of doing this is by switching from Unofficial to Official and back again, or simply clicking the Refresh button.
• Ensure you're searching for the exact server name set in Server Options, and that your server name has been applied by restarting your server. Also provide ample time for the server list to download to your client before searching.
• After restarting your server, it may take a few minutes or more for the server browser to register your server again, this is normal behavior and registration times may vary during peak times and by region.
• Wait a bit, and repeat these steps, the issue will normally resolve itself. EOS may be experiencing issues.

Game Crashes

If your game is crashing when connecting to or playing on a server, try the following:

• Verify your game files through Steam. Right-click The Isle in your Steam library, select Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.
• Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date, or rollback a driver version if the issue started occurring after a particular driver update.
• Check if other players are reporting the issue in the Official Isle Discord: https://discord.gg/survivetheisle
• Copy and search the error code on websites such as Steam or Reddit for similar reports of the issue.
