Euro Truck Simulator 2 server not showing up or unable to connect

Join through Euro Truck Simulator 2’s Convoy browser. Console prints a session search ID that is useful when searching by lobby name does not find the server. Match the game build and exported content used by the convoy.

If joining fails

Both server_packages.sii and server_packages.dat are required in .local/share/Euro Truck Simulator 2. A packages-not-found message needs an export from the game; reinstalling the server tool does not create that custom export.

  1. Open Console and wait for the game or world to finish loading. Save the first error if startup stops.
  2. Use the joining method above with one client on the matching game version and required content.
  3. If entry is rejected, compare the exact error with the password, edition, map or authentication checks above. Keep the working save while testing.
