Sunkenland: server not found or joining fails

Check ServerID, region and password – the most common reasons joining fails.

2 minute read Updated 09.11.2026

Sunkenland servers do not appear in a fixed list with an IP address like other games. You join via the ServerID. If that does not work, check these points.

1. Has the server finished starting?

Starting takes about 3 minutes. The server is only ready when the Console shows "Server Start Complete, Ready for Clients to Join".

2. Is the ServerID correct?

The ServerID is in the same console line. It changes on every start. After a restart, you and your friends need to use the new ServerID.

3. Is the region correct?

In the game, the same region must be selected under multiplayer as in your server's Startup variables. The default is eu (Europe). Players with a different region set in the game will not find the server.

4. Is the password correct?

The password is in the Startup variables (Password). 1 to 8 letters or digits are allowed; special characters and umlauts cause login errors.

5. Is the server full?

You set the Max players (3 to 15) in the startup variables. A change applies after a restart.

Still not working?

Restart the server once and check the console for error messages. If it does not start at all, read Sunkenland: server does not start. Otherwise our support team will help you via ticket.
