SCUM server not showing up or unable to connect

Use the current SCUM client and check both the game address and server password. The server can take time to load an established world, so wait for the game log rather than relying only on the panel’s process status.

If joining fails

Read SCUM/Saved/Logs/SCUM.log for the first failed stage. A version rejection after an update and a password rejection require different fixes; preserve that exact message.

  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.
